I posted this link in two mammoth threads yesterday, but I thought it deserved its own billing so as not to become lost in a sea of discussion about other topics: https://books.google.com/books?id=A...=PA16#v=onepage&q=epcot a second year&f=false.
The link is to a review of EPCOT written in 1984 and published in the magazine Cruise Travel. Given the many nostalgic viewpoints expressed in these forums, especially where EPCOT/Epcot is concerned, I was curious to find historical assessments that aren't filtered by the passage of time. This write-up, which both praises and criticises EPCOT, is a fascinating and at times amusing read (I love the author's take on "long" waits!).
After posting the link yesterday, I found another review from the same magazine written a year earlier by an author who is much more glowing in his assessment: https://books.google.com/books?id=KTADAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA26&dq="not allowed in epcot"&pg=PA26#v=onepage&q="not allowed in epcot"&f=false. Unfortunately, the piece ends abruptly in the middle of describing World Showcase, and its continuation doesn't appear on the page indicated. (ETA: As kindly pointed out by Animal_Kingdom_09 below, the article actually continues on p. 40.)
If you find anything else of this sort relating to any of the parks, please add it to the thread!
