Where would you find this? Who does it honor?

Answer:
This window is above the entrance to the Blue Ribbon Bakery on Main Street, U.S.A. Wally Boag performed as Pecos Bill in the Golden Horseshoe Revue stage show from 1955 to 1982, except for three years when it moved to the new Walt Disney World resort as the Diamond Horseshoe Revue in 1971. The show is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the longest running revue in history.

That window honors Wally V. Boag, a talented performer at the Golden Horseshoe Revue (and also the Diamond in Walt Disney World).

The window is on Main Street above the Carnation Cafe. Wally Boag was a performer at the Golden Horseshoe Saloon and did several other jobs, like assisting with the script for the Enchanted Tiki Room and The Haunted Mansion.

-- Did you get the location for the window from Wikipedia? I noticed his page there says it is on the Carnation Cafe, but that is incorrect. The Carnation Cafe is a courtyard restaurant -- ie: outdoors (no windows). This window is on the Main Street, U.S.A. side of the Blue Ribbon Bakery, not the side next to Carnation Cafe.
