I remember there being several cool Originals in the Magic Kingdom, I don't remember any at Epcot. Of course, MGM Studios would probably have mostly Originals if any cool fans, and Dinosaur Kingdom probably would just have cheap outdoor fans. I only remember the fans at Magic Kingdom.
mpeters, when was it that they actually replaced fans with Originals?
I have heard some of the hotels also have Hunter Low Profiles and Fasco Charlestons.

Yes. I wonder if there all still there. I have a wind chime, that my parents bought me back in 86 from Disney, I can't believe it myself, that it still hangs on the porch, with the original string. Of course not the same house. We've moved numerous of times since 1986. I have a picture somewhere of me 7y/o with it in the background. Every time I walk past it and look at it, It can take me back in time to when I was a child, our dog that was born in 86 and died in 2000 of old age, my mother when she was married back in 86, the house that we lived in that year..

They replace them gradually over time. Usually when one wears out or the attraction goes down for refurbishment.
There are some also some interesting fans at Disneyland in California.
Disneyland;
Main Street; Used to be populated with more than 50 Hunter R-36 fans. All of these are gone now though. There is still a Hunter R-52 in the Markethouse that runs great. The candy shop has a 36" White Nutone Hacienda. The ice cream shop has some 36" Nutone spinners and some 36" Emerson builder fans. The character shop has green Emerson Crowns and the Refreshment Corner has Antique Brass Emerson Crowns. Over the entrance of City Hall there is an Iron 42" Original. There is also a white emerson crown on the patio of the Plaza Pavilion along with a bunch of Hunter Sea Airs.
Frontierland; Some cheap looking fans in Rancho Del Zocalo restaurant. There is also a spinner with a hunter original canopy in the candy shop.
New Orleans Square; There are some Casablanca Victorians in the French Market Restaurant. Some other cheap fans around in the shops as well.
Adventureland; In the Jungle Cruise boathouse second floor there is a 5 blade Black Hunter Original. There is also a verde green 52" Reverseaire Original in the Adventureland Outpost shop. There used to be two but one has been replaced with a Gazebo.
Fantasyland; There is a bright brass Hunter Studio series fan at the exit of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
Disney's California Adventure;
The Mission Tortilla Factory has four brown five blade Hunter Original fans.
The load area for California Screamin' has a bunch of Craftmade outdoor fans.
Grizzly River Run has a unique Hunter Original that has rafting paddles instead of blades in the attraction control tower. There is no pitch on the paddles but it looks cool though. It was a totally custom job that no one ever sees.
