I know it's only been a couple hours since the video went live, but I'm enjoying the comment section that is in a state of "This was cool but now it's going to be a IP dumping ground". Maybe they'll get the message at some point.
Some of my favorite comments:

"I'm surprised Disney allowed this, completly restored, when they've been trying to convince us that Snow Queens, CGI Fish and CGI racoons, talking trees and toon rats belong there"

"such an original and creative park! ...turned into IPcot"

"What an amazing concept this place was, now nothing but an IP dumping ground. So so sad Disney."

And the winner:
"Boy, you guys really ruined EPCOT. Didn't you?"

That might explain why the video might had been unlisted. Since most of the comments appear to be made more intelligent instead of giving positive and praise. The comments actually felt like I was watching one of Martin's tribute videos since most appear to be from huge fans of Epcot and classic WDW.

I'm picturing comments being turned into picket signs at protests for Classic Epcot vs IPcot if that ever happens in the future.

Temporary walls have been put up by the VISION House and part of the curtain at Innoventions East was moved over. The 35th store is at Innoventions West, so I'm not sure what they're doing here.

That entire side of Innoventions is lit up.
