7. Tracks to nowhere

Location: Sunset Blvd towards The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Remember the aformentioned cancelled Roger Rabbit artaction? Work actually began on a whole Roger Rabbit themed area, and train tracks were laid that would lead to the new Roger Rabbit themed area. These tracks remain today.
8. Watch Out!

Location: Prop Shop Gift Shop
When walking past the Prop Shop make sure to look up. Many Who Framed Roger Rabbit references are just above guest’s heads. They will see the bricks that fell on Roger’s head near the end of the film when he showed up to rescue Jessica and Eddie. Also, there are huge magnets that appear in many scenes, along with a 1000 pound weight.
9. Catalina Eddie's

Location: Near the end of Sunset Blvd across from the Beauty and Beast Show
Although it is currently closed for renovations, guests can still see the billboard above the construction walls. In the film Eddie and his girlfriend Delores speak about going to Catalina. Whether or not this is a direct reference to the movie or just a coincidence is widely debated.
10. Pop Century Resort

Location: Pop Century Resort
The biggest example of Who Framed Roger Rabbit is not in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but at the Pop Century Resort. In the 1980s section, guests will find a huge Roger Rabbit statue. It makes for a great picture opportunity.
11. Ink and Paint Club

Location: Art of Animation Resort
Within this resort, the gift shop is called “The Ink and Paint Shop”, and is a fantastic nod to Roger and his gang. The shop represents the “Ink and Paint Club” from the movie. It’s where Jessica Rabbit performs, and where Eddie first lays eyes on her.
It may have been 27 years since Roger and Jessica Rabbit first displayed their love on screen, but they are still very active in the Disney Parks. Disney may have gotten rid of the giant boxing glove on the Backlot Tour, or the Steamroller for pictures, but there is still plenty to see.
What’s your favorite Who Framed Roger Rabbit memory from Walt Disney World?
Comments
The "Ink and Paint Club" is not a reference to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" It is a reference to the group of people that actually inked and painted the cels at the Disney Studio. Hence, the large jars of cel paint.
Back in the day, DHS used to have the Dipmobile from the climax of the movie, and it sprayed "dip" at you.
Sounds awesome !
