Singing about good nutrition, I presume.
World of Motion figures and props are at MGM somewhere, I think. On the backlot tour, in the warehouse before you board the tram. At least they were.

They definitely are. I took some pictures last year. I will post them when have the chance.
When EPCOT had the 25th gallery, the props from Horizons--except the Butler-- were from the prop warehouse. Last time I checked, they were not returned to the warehouse.
There is also a wall of faces used for various audio animatronics. I had a hard time figuring out where they were from though.
Another "ruin" is that of the huge tree stump that used to welcome visitors to Ft. Wilderness. The one that had FORT WILDERNESS and WALT DISNEY WORLD carved in the front. I would post the picture, but it's in a backstage are of the Fort. It still looks great.

The butler robot (with the red coat holding a feather duster and vacuum) is on the upper level of the Imagineering building now.
You mean "Journey Into Imagination" building, right? (not Imagineering, which would suggest that the Robot is out in Glendale, California).

Wasn't there a picture posted some months back of the little guy from Cranium Command (Buzzy?) still sitting there in the theater? If I'm remembering correctly and it wasn't some random hallucination, seeing him there in the dark was a little creepy...

Read a comment on google maps a few posts down. I use Bing Maps because its newer images and its got the great birds eye view image which makes everything looks closer and more recognizable.
I would also look at each parks graveyard site. You never know what you might find.

No. I mean Imagineering here in Florida. They have a campus of buildings behind M:S and WOL at Epcot.

That would've been my post as well. Yep, he's still sitting up there in the dark.

Not this one.
There is another one which just has 'Fort Wilderness' and 'Walt Disney World' on it.

A whole lot of that stuff ended up in Disney's warehouse in Kissimmee. You probably won't see much on satellite views since they usually don't have stuff outside. Here is a link though just in case.

The place is amazing it's pretty much a museum of WDW history.

ok..so they tear down a ride to bring on a new one..i think that everyone gets that.. some pieces of the ride are thrown away, some left to rot and some just covered up.
but before they do it, do they document anything about the previous ride? i believe they have the ride architectural plan and I guess a lot of the original designs and blueprints, but a lot changes through the years. and technology also, pictures are not the same from 10 years ago..
is one of those books i hope disney publishes...a detailed (and actual to the point of destruction) walkthrough of yesterland.

I would love to have one of those Figment AA's from the original ride. That would be sweet!! Whoever took this pic, please take more if you can, I'd love to see what all they have stored in that warehouse.

I was very fortunate to get a tour of the warehouse a while back and they allowed photography. Here are a few more photos:

Since these were taken the monorails were scrapped. I think the starjet was the one mouse surplus got, but not sure. I had more photos but can't find them, there was so much to see there I didn't get everything.
