I think the "Walt would want" argument gets distorted.
It should be less "this was a thing Walt liked and Walt was an important person so we want to preserve it as a historical thing".
It should be more "Walt actually knew what the hell he was doing so his logic should be emulated and his choices and reasoning carefully considered".
Same with Muppet Vision and Jim Henson. Removing the Muppet thing he made and trying to put them somewhere else is not a bad idea because Henson's final work deserves to be forever enshrined and worshipped like an ancient talisman, but because he was a genius of his craft and knew how to do this better than anyone. Even if the people making the new thing are good, they won't be exceptional like Henson. It will not be as good. What they had was already made by the absolute best person for the job.
Ideas that came from Walt came from the father of theme parks; an absolute genius, someone who revolutionized two mediums in his relatively short life. He knew about atmosphere, he knew about design, he knew how to make things fun, he was brilliant. When he put things in the parks he knew what he was doing. Yes, even if he didn't specifically oversee the construction of this one, an idea that is his copied over somewhere else is still an idea that is his.
And if we're going to argue that what Walt made was good then but doesn't fit modern Disney, that says a hell of a lot more about modern Disney than it does about Walt.
Also, this "well go to Disneyland" thing is nonsense: this was in the park at its debut, it has been there for fifty four years. It's just as much a part of this park as Disneyland, it's totally reasonable to want to have it here.
