Well, I go at it as a guest of today and not a guest of yesterday...I used to be a guest of yesterday, but I was not impressed with the Epcot of yesterday. I found most of it extremely boring as a child...much like most people...which of course, you have to admit is why they started changing things to where they are now.
As a guest who goes into Epcot nowadays though, Epcot really is a ton more fun than it ever used to be and as I said, while it's still not the most fun park to many, it's inching it's way there by adding attractions like Nemo (which, while that attraction per se isn't educational, you have to admit, it was a good attraction to add to 1. a failing pavillion and 2. b/c there really wasn't a whole lot for the little ones to do at the park).
If you look at Epcot now...and there was no EPCOT Center, I'm sure you would think that this Epcot really is wonderful...and fun, which is the whole point Disney is trying to establish. They want something fun so families want to come back. Families don't want to go to a park they find boring...Epcot nowadays isn't boring the masses and that is the most important thing. Especially to a company like Disney.
(Oh and I do like the layout! I think it's cool. I'm also not against Epcot...surprisingly, right now, it's my second favorite park on property, but that is b/c of the things they've added to the park over the last few years.)
