It's in the Bonjour Village Gifts shop--a portrait on the back wall that is easily identified as a painting of the current Magic Kingdom president, Phil Holmes.
Phil was an opening-day Cast Member, so he has been there for 41 years. At Disney, you are feasted and given trinkets when you hit 5-year milestones, so Phil's last big milestone was 40. Fittingly, the painted Phil sports a ring with a 40 on it. And high up on the shelf sits a bronze Donald figurette, which is the giveaway trinket for the 40th Anniversary Service Award.
There are other items on the desk that remind of his tenure at the Magic Kingdom: peanuts for the new Storybook Circus, an apple for the closed Snow White dark ride, a lamp for the Aladdin spinner ride, and a Magic Kingdom park map, complete with a land labeled "Mickey's Toontown" (not Mickey's Toontown Fair--though it does look like the Magic Kingdom rather than Disneyland, so this one is hard to reason why).
Over Phil's shoulder is the Haunted Mansion wallpaper pattern--appropriate, since he worked on the Mansion on the park's first operating day in 1971.
There is some precedent for honoring a park president with a tribute; Jack Lindquist was honored with a fake pumpkin in his likeness when he retired as Disneyland's first president.
Say hi to Phil on your visit to New Fantasyland!
