Is anyone worried at all that EU won’t live up to the person hype you’ve built up over years of excitement for it?

A bit nervous about that ngl.

Happened with cosmic rewind for me
The very first concept art walked my expectations way back. Immediately gone were the rumors of a park on the scale of Epcot and the artistry of DisneySea. What we're getting is nice, but severely marred by the hotel. Certainly we're getting some great theming, but the some portals (monsters/dragon) seemed designed to deliver specific photo-ops rather than full-360 immersion.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. Are we comparing a ticket that gets you into 4 theme parks in a day, to a ticket that gets you into a single park?
Not sarcasm at all -- sure it's great in theory to have access to 4 theme parks...but most people don't actually do that. And if you look at the number of attractions you may do from sun-up to sun-down, is it really ALL that different? You're also talking to someone who has been to every WDW theme park 20-30 visits in my lifetime vs something completely brand new.

It was just a comparison of the dollar amount on if i wanted to do 1 day at EPIC, vs say Animal Kingdom morning, end at Hollywood Studios for Fantasmic with 1 full day to do as much of those parks as possible. In theory...the value is pretty similiar and actually less expensive with EPIC.

Not being combative, but hope this clears up my thoughts.

Splash Mountain didn’t either......

Yes, but splash mnt is, well, a water trough ride whereas Yoshi is supposed to be experienced as a dry run(or mostly dry run anyway). I get that Yoshi is built to withstand the buckets of rain in August and the like but it’s nothing like those rapid and trough rides

It’s a fair enough take, I just think it can be cross-applied to just about any resort. I can see myself doing an IoA-EU park hop day where I do Hagrids/Veloci/Spidey, leave, and then do just Monsters/Ministry/Stardust.
