I don't know. There has always been corporate espionage. I expect anything on display in a pavilion would have already debuted at an electronics expo or some other showcase. Unless it's a completely impractical concept prototype which they have no intention of pursuing.

Your point is correct, there has always been corporate espionage but not to the speed and severity as it is now… I think they should make it like the Auto shows in NY & Detroit…blue sky projects that make you say hmmmm…

The answer is simple -- rename Walt Disney World as "The Disney Museum of Science and History."

I mean that’s kind of what the original Disneyland was with the exception of Fantasyland.

Not entirely wrong. The original DL was really two things: 1) An almost full-scale recreation of Walt's childhood and 2) An immersive extension of Disney's products at the time. They had their animated films in Fantasyland; True-Life Adventures in Adventureland; Davy Crockett, Tom Sawyer etc. in Frontierland; and their space/futurist essays in Tomorrowland. Insofar as some of those products were documentaries, there was an educational bent, albeit slight.

Isn't this the mindset that led to stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy and Moana in EPCOT?

Guardians maybe, but Journey of Water is the most EPCOT attraction that EPCOT has added in...well really my entire lifetime. It's pure edutainment with a hands on approach.

Just out of curiosuty, what were the ratings on Great Moments in History? Seemed like it was quite popular and always felt like it was a test to see if something bigger could work... yet nothing did come out of it (at least not yet).

I think the ratings were oh my God it's hot and I'm melting. Barring that it was a great experience

I agree. It looked pretty popular and liked!
