Autopia - Midget Autopia Car
While motoring along Autopia's freeways, drivers pass a statue of a scaled-down convertible. The bronzed car is a tribute to Fantasyland's Midget Autopia, which gave children too small for Autopia or Junior Autopia, a chance to drive alone. Midget Autopia occupied the northeastern end of Fantasyland from 1957 to 1966, until it was removed to make room for "it's a small world."

America Sings
Innoventions: A mural is painted on the wall between Tom Morrow & the Disney Dream Home front door. Hidden in the mural are silhouettes of Sam the Bald Eagle and Ollie the Owl, the emcees for the America Sings attraction. In 1974, America Sings replaced the Carousel of Progress. The musical attraction occupied the Carousel Theater until 1988. It's rumored that the attraction was closed so that the Audio-Animatronic figures could be used in Splash Mountain (which was over budget). For ten years the Carousel Theater remained empty, until Innoventions opened in 1998.
