I was in Epcot and near the soda tasting place is a large open room filled with design models of the world showcase and they have opening memorabilia of Epcot (TICKETS bumper stickers etc) I was woundering if any other of the three theme Parks have stuff like this?

I believe you are referring to the exhibit that was set up for the 25th anniversery of EPCOT.
That has been removed, and no other park currently has such an exhibit.

The 25th wall displays are still intact, the room is used for Segway training.

agreed. I wish they left that open for a while.

I believe a lot of the objects in there were parts of private collections, if I am not mistaken. I don't think the actual owners would be too happy if their property was on display for longer.

I assume you mean the pennants and the coins and the merchandise stuff.
What was stopping them from leaving the models, maquettes, and our favorite robotic butler?

I do not see why not. Many museums display works that come from private collections.
My guess would be that interest finally waned to a point that it was no longer worth the money to staff the exhibit.

I don't think I ever really saw it staffed.
Maybe a CM walking through once in a while, but not really staffed per se. Unless maybe I missed it.

Whenever I stepped there was always a Cast Member or two just sort of standing around, typically near the main door. The most they ever seemed to do was say "hello" and "goodbye" to some who ventured inside.

Are the displays still visible? I'd take the Segway tour for a chance to see them.

There are models in the One Man's Dream exhibit at The Studios (in the back, near the entrance to the film).

Indeed, it is.

The 25th display was there for over a year, even though it was rumored to be much more temporary than that, I'm glad it had that long.
Of course there's the original "Progress City" model inside the TTA and as mentioned, One Man's Dream.
I do wish Disney would sell full models of their parks, even if it cost a few hundred dollars, it would be really nice to own.
