For sure. We've lost the murals for Horizons, UoE, Imagination, the ceiling of The Land, and most of the Seas. This needs to stop.

Do the WDI archives have the original painting of “The Prologue and the Promise”?

No idea. Doing a quick Google search doesn't bring anything up that directly answers that. Even if it did get saved, it's a bummer that it can't easily be seen anymore.

Honestly, they are going to EPCOT and only EPCOT for the forseeable domestic future. Current plan is for them to be used in Illuminations: Next Gen (Not the Subtitle... Or is it?), which should debut in time for the 50th, and may or may not feature studio IP. Other than Dronez, Pyro, and Fountains, stuff is still up for grabs as far as being included. As of now, the target is 2020, but I expect it to go to 2021 to compensate for Happily Ever After: Revised. Also, I know its the wrong thread(s), but I don't expect major RoL changes until post 50, do expect AK changes pre-50, and Studios Nighttime Spectaculars should look as different now compared to three years ago, as it will from now compared to three years ago.

So no X-Wings at the Studios or flying whatevers in Pandora? That's too bad.

Can you imagine X-Wing drones doing battle with TIE-fighter drones as part of the nighttime show? Holy Cow! Let's hope they change their mind and don't just keep drones at Epcot.

I think it's less of a decision not to and more of a legal safety requirement to keep the drones over water

No doubt. What a bummer though.

You mean Foxy Brown? That's her name on Pokémon go.
The new exit corridor was built in front of the mural in 1986 so who knows.

It's being replaced with this mural:
More timeless, more relevant, more family, more money, more Disney.

So a drones segment for the next Illuminations for a downtime period instead of the globe? Trading one technology nightmare for another.

Based on the photos of the mural being painted and by the artists website, it looks like it wasn't painte in place, but it was initially made in California and shipped to WDW in pieces. I don't know if there is any truth to the rumor, but it was said to have been moved and displayed in WDI offices for some set of time. If anybody would know, I would guess its you, but I hope its true that it still exists somewhere out there in Walt Disney HQ.
That art is a treasure and it would be horrible if its gone forever.
