Disney quickly upped their sights, raised millions by leasing plots to 55 companies. Pepsi-Cola came in to operate Frontierland's Golden Horseshoe soft-drink saloon; American Motors Corp. shows Circarama movies; Pablum recently opened a brightly decorated "baby-changing and feeding station" complete with a trained nurse who hands out free...
