Eh, sorta. From what I've read, Walt did indeed want a second park, but originally he wanted it in Missouri, because that's where the Disney family farm was located (in Marceline). But that fell through because there wasn't enough land available. So Walt, as we all know, eventually settled on Florida. As for him not wanting to build Disneyland-like attractions there, yes, I think that's true; he wanted to focus on EPCOT. But investors did indeed insist on him putting attractions there to draw in tourists, so he did. That's how I understand things anyway.
