The Magic Kingdom is widely and commonly kown as just "Disney World," and many people don't even realize that Epcot or the Studios are part of the same Resort. (Examples: "I went to Disney World yesterday, and today I am goin to Epcot." OR "Why doesn't my Univseral Studios ticket work at this Studio?") As long as things are peachy at MK, I think management could care less about what goes on at Epcot, Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom. I might be wrong, but I'll say that most people don't think of Spaceship Earth or the Tree of Life (not even going to touch the Hat debate here) when they decide to book a trip to WDW. What they do think of is a big castle at the end of a street where you can watch fireworks at night. Let's face it, the MK and Wishes are basically the headliners of WDW. Epcot and Reflecions of Earth might be nominated in the category of "best actor in a supporting role," but the newer three parks just don't carry the same cultural or nostalgic weight in the public eye that the Magic Kingdom (or Disneyland) does.
You see how managemen has been treating the Magic Kingdom, the FLAGSHIP PARK of the ENTIRE Disney Parks brand, for the last decade, and you expect them to keep on top of the effects in Reflections of Earth? It shouldn't be asking too much, but sadly it is, and it will stay that way until someone with enough charisma (anyone would be better han Jay Rasulo, I think, and I don't usually pick out individual executives) steps into power somewhere and demands a change in attitude.
