* Disney World's Splash Mountain was created by a team of Imagineers led by Eric Jacobson <ref name= "Korkis"/>.
===Potential McDonald's Sponsorship===
On October 10, 1985, Disney pitched McDonald's the idea of sponsoring Splash Mountain. In a pitch book created specifically for a meeting between the two companies, Disney created concept art that featured Brer Frog as the official "spokescritter for McDonald's". It is also notable that at this time the attraction was titled Brer Rabbit's Splash Mountain <ref> https://mouseinfo.com/2020/07/coulda-been-brer-rabbits-splash-mountain-presented-by-mcdonalds-pecos-bills-renamed-to-hungry-bear/ <ref/>. Although McDonald's would pass on sponsoring the attraction, the two companies would reach an “an unprecedented global marketing alliance” in 1996, that allowed McDonald's to open dining locations within Walt Disney World's theme parks <ref> https://www.yesterland.com/mcwdw.html </ref>.
