Here's another for you all. I'm sure you're getting hungry for Gordon's Fishsticks when you see this...either that or you're thinking of a fishing town in Massachusetts. But this guy is hiding somewhere in the World of Disney...where?:

I do believe this particular replica lived in the epcot 25th anniversary exhibit in the innoventions breezway.
 
Re: Sailin Away...but where?

I do believe you are correct! Nice one...I wasn't sure if anyone had gone into that little side room and looked around. Alot of interesting little bits in there.

good guess, I had no clue. Is that 25th display still there? If so I totally missed it during Mousefest.

Gloucester, MA is where you will find the other version: Man At The Wheel

AFAIK, the exhibit closed right around 10/1/2008. It was/is located in the Innoventions Breezeway between the Fountain of Nations and The Land... right behind the Character Meet and Greet.

Looks similar to one of the statues along the wall inside the theatre of The American Adventure.
 
Re: Sailin Away...but where?

it is. it was a replica/ concept art of one of the spirit statues.

I had discovered that secret area back in Feb. and took lots of photos, then took video of some of the displays when I was back down in September. Very interesting exhibit, but not many people noticed it.

it was not heavily publicized, that's for sure, but it was an interesting experience in epcot history.
kind of a shame, really.

"we're getting ready for you...."

The other thing I saw...On this years telecast of the Disney Christmas Parade, they showed some clips of previous years and had the Dragon Boats and planes on the World Showcase Lake. Very amusing.

You can see the entrance to the exhibit in this shot:

They had alot of clay models which were mockups for the pavilion designs, showing what the designers were planning on. It is too bad that so few noticed it - very cool display and a nice piece of history. We were up there for the Epcot 25th 'thing', so we were intentionally there to celebrate what Disney was unfortunately not putting on a big gala for themselves.

actually if you walk past the restrooms thru electric umbrella, you are right there at that intersection.
