I meant original EPCOT, which had a stronger overall attraction lineup than any current Florida park. Not 2010 EPCOT.

I do hope there is some storyline as to why the Villains are all together in one spot and why guests are welcome there
Are they inviting us in to see what they are working on? Are we visiting against their wishes and they are trying to stop us? Are they tricking us ultimately wanting to capture us but we managed to escape? Or something else but some "reason"

This is the storyline they seem to be going with as of D23 Brazil back in November:
"As for the land’s storyline, D’Amaro said: “In our story, a mysterious spell has been cast, summoning villains from every realm. In this land, heroes don’t come to save the day – and there may not be a happily ever after!”"

I now have the mental image of a scene where they go inside Tiana's Bayou Adventure to recruit Dr. Facilier, only to discover that he's not in it.

Only if you went to parks just for slow omnimovers and boat rides.
I think people forget that original Epcot only had 6 rides.
That was not a stronger attraction lineup than recent history Magic Kingdom.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that - at least they are thinking about it and that there is a reason all the villains are there ... Hopefully there is a reason we are going there ...
... Maybe at the end we find out the missing villains was us all along!
Is there a reason so many princesses are hanging around Fantasyland? <shrug>

But that doesn't explain why visitors would be voluntarily coming to visit evil.This is the storyline they seem to be going with as of D23 Brazil back in November:

Maybe the story does, I didn't click on the link to read it.

The only thing have said is why the villains are all there, no clue as to why we're visiting yet. Maybe something we'll find out at Destination D23 or D23 2026, probably linked to one of the E-Tickets like we're going undercover as villains to stop them, or some hero character has recruited us to help find out what's going on. There are a lot of ways they could justify it. That or they could go down the Toy Story Land route of "Guests are becoming honorary villains"

Why are we visting Andy's back yard? Why are we visiting an abandoned spanish fort? Why are we hopping on a ghost driven rail road?
It depends if the user is part of the story or not... we are not in a lot of WDW rides/lands

the only one of those I am baffled about is visiting Andy's Back Yard....

It absolutely was a stronger attraction lineup to me. There were multiple attractions at EPCOT's peak (not opening day, but early 1990s) better than anything that currently exists at Magic Kingdom.
Of course it's subjective, and Magic Kingdom has far more rides, but I favor quality over quantity.
Not much of a storyline, is it?This is the storyline they seem to be going with as of D23 Brazil back in November:

It’s a premise for the land.
Where else can you live through childhood abandonment, forced marriage, and attempted murder... and still be marketable?
Not much of a premise, is it?

it's a concept of a plan...

It’s 12% of a plan.
It’s simple enough that you could mention to someone going to the land and they would get it.

I actually called that out as a means of getting him in the park.
