Colonel Critchlow Sunchbench – Club Gleemeister of the former Adventures Club in Orlando. The colonel is a cable-controlled puppet worked from behind the scenes. He was usually "on duty" (sitting dormant), but he woke up to lead the new inductees in the club song, and occasionally to converse with guests in the Main Salon. The Colonel is now located at the Walt Disney Archives within the Walt Disney Studios.

So innovative was the technology by 1963 standards that an Audio-Animatronics talking "barker" bird (Juan, cousin of José) once located near the walkway outside the Tiki Room to beckon visitors inside, caused enormous traffic jams of visitors trying to catch a glimpse of it. This Juan is now roosting at the Disney Archives at the Walt Disney Studios.

Formerly known as the Team Disney Burbank building, Team Disney – The Michael D. Eisner Building is the main building located at The Walt Disney Studios. Completed in 1990 and designed by Michael Graves, the Team Disney Burbank building contains the office of President and CEO Robert A. Iger, as well as the boardroom for the board of directors. It also houses offices for members of Senior Management, such as Alan Horn, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios and Andy Bird, chairman of Walt Disney International. Prior to the opening of the Team Disney Burbank building in 1990, Disney executives were located in the old Animation building and the Roy O. Disney Building; the animators had been forced to relocate in 1985 into a series of warehouses, trailers, and hangars in nearby Glendale. The Team Disney structure is sometimes called the "Seven Dwarfs Building". It has large sculpted caryatids of the Seven Dwarfs holding up the roof of the eastern façade, an homage to the animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which provided Walt Disney with the revenue to purchase the Burbank lot. Each statue is 19 feet (5.7 meters) tall, with the exception of the 2/3-sized Dopey at top
