Good god, I sure hope Bob isn't depending on 13 year olds to shape any park goals.

Funny, they cut the Flower and Garden off a month short. I've heard it's because of speculation of some new festival coming after that...Or am I incorrect about that?

But did they?
By the objective definition of "investment", yes they clearly did.

Whether you like the investment or not is up to you, but the park pre-2017 had been stagnant for decades. They finally decided to make an effort to do something about it. Yes, the final result is not what most of us were hoping for (and to give credit, the plans got screwed by COVID). But I'm not going to keep complaining when the other option was keep the dead park from the 2000s.

Well covid is not a valid excuse…as cash available soared for companies

But I covered this above…what did they actually get done? Not much

What I wanted more than anything for a "New" Epcot? A new country added to World Showcase. I was disappointed to say the least.
Amen to that. I believe they originally had 19 plots for countries. However, they've used up two of those to expand Norway / Frozen and to expand France with the Ratatouille ride. Six spots remain (including where the once planned Africa pavilion became only a refreshment spot). I'd love to see India, Greece, and Brazil for starters.

I know we all like to say Disney is for the young and the young at heart, but you do know the parks are primarily for that first part, right? Outside of the fanatics there aren't many regular people planning WDW trips that don't revolve around their kids. I would hope they are thinking about how they can appeal to a 13 year old when designing things.

And *controversial opinion* but I think it's great they're trying to make Epcot appeal to the younger crowd; I just wish they were going about it in bit more thoughtful manner. But yeah, this "it's pathetic and offensive Disney is creating something for kids and not my grown adult self" is so embarrassing and entitled.

I think becoming an uncle last year really changed how I feel about children 😂
