The Omnipresent Bench

These things are EVERYWHERE.

Daveland

In this Daveland photo from the 1960s, the bench is in use in New Orleans Square, in-between the main  area and the Rivers of America.
Despite the modification of the entrance to Pirates of the Caribbean and the complete overhaul of the area to accommodate Fantasmic, the benches are still in New Orleans Square, two found on royal street:

Mint Crocodile
And another next to the jewelry shop:

Over in Fantasyland, the old Motor Boat Cruise dock is now used as a quiet seating area. And what is there to sit on? The omnipresent white bench, of course!


They also form the seating at the smoking area across from the Matterhorn.



They aren't just found at Disneyland! I spotted one the other day while watching The Happiest Millionaire, in the background of the "Are we Dancing?" scene.


I haven't been able to find any photos of the bench in use at Walt Disney World, nor have I spotted it in any other Disney films. Have you seen it anywhere else?

UPDATE:
The Bench(c) is also in Tokyo Disneyland! Fantasyland, to be exact:


UPDATE 2:
~The Bench~ is also used by The San Diego Zoo-- up in the World Gardens at the Wild Animal Park / Safari Park
