Doing it’s job then. I preferred breakfast.

Because visitors rewards excellence over and over again, and therefore these attractions become beloved and iconic.

Fortunately my wife and I know the differences between expectation and reality, so we're only cautiously optimistic, but to see the kids get excited is kinda what it's all about.
The Epcot I experienced as a kid in 1983,84,86,88 is gone, and the ghosts of those years haunt the park. The jumping water is still there making people smile, but the hallowed out imagination is out of ideas, and sea base alpha is dirty, dank and devoid of fun (although the tanks looked sparkly clean yesterday).

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
My 2 year old was still in heaaaaaaven in the sea base. Sprinting from window to window for 2 solid hours while staring at the fish and other sea life in the tanks was undoubtedly his favorite part of the entire week.

It was a hit with our kids too, but after around 5 years old they start "noticing" things...

Well that was fast. It showed up on the server on the 23rd, but I didn't have a chance to post until last night. I'll be honest, I didn't check to see if it had gone live. Usually it shows up 2-3 days before it goes live.

The earliest map I have saved is from Aug 2018, and it didn't include the tarps either.

The multimedia experience that is The Epcot Experience is excellent, the issue is the actual content.
That’s great, so you actually saw Epcot nearing its peak. If you went between 1991-1994, that was the peak. After that, it’s been a lot of neglect and misguided spending, continuing to this day.

The park would be most “Disneyfied” if they made it a high-quality product with cohesive storytelling and powerful themes, like their films and other media tend to be, and the parks historically have been. That’s what makes something “Disney.” Putting existing IP in Epcot just makes it referential to what is already Disney for the above reasons, it doesn’t actually make the park “Disney.”
The icons and logo work well in 2020, probably even better than they did in 1982, which is ironically both a smart business decision and a testament to the original park’s forward-thinking nature. It will also appease certain fans while they take actions that they know said fans won’t like. I agree there’s no real vision.
I’m no architect but it doesn’t take a genius to think yes. That’s been my argument all along.
Not to mention the even larger north west building was also available.

Yes, it was possible. It would require reinforcing or adding to the structure to support added weight on the roof but doable.
