Following the changes in 1993, little of note changed with the attraction until August 20, 2006. At this time, the boat captains were removed from the attraction and replaced by a new automatic narrator voiced by Mike Brassell <ref name= "jack"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2010/08/living_with_the_land_1.html </ref>. On July 29, 2011, Chiquita Brands International announced it would be sponsoring Living with the Land as part of a strategic partnership with Disney<ref> http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/chiquita-and-walt-disney-world-resort-announce-multi-year-alliance-to-offer-fresh-healthy-chiquita-and-fresh-express-products-to-disney-guests-126408463.html </ref>.

When Nestle assumed sponsorship of The Land pavilion in 1993, Listen to the Land was closed for refurbishment. The attraction reopened later that year as Living With with the Land which was similar to its predecessor except for a few changes. These changes included:
* The replacement of the Symphony of Seeds scene with a new storm scene. In this scene, the narrator tells guests that climate changes are sweeping over the land. He then goes on to say that the storm is a new beginning for the land, and that the water combined with sunlight leads to the growth of the planet.
* Living with the Land's score was composed by George Wilkins <ref> http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0929260/ </ref>.
* The song "Listen to the Land " was written by Bob Moline <ref name= "Sklar"/>. * Following the 2019 update, one of the scenes in the Barn Theater shows a close of up a farm irrigation sprinkler. This footage is actually stock footage that can be found [https://www.videoblocks.com/video/farm-irrigation-sprinkler-slow-motion-rh3e7veuiqyer3ot Here]
