Okay, just imagine we go back in time. How enjoyable would the 1971 version be for you knowing what you know about the present time. In other words, there is no Splash, Space or Thunder Mountain in 1971 among other things but you know about them.
Now, I know we all loved the parks when we first went, including those from 1971. My father first went in 1973 and loved it. I went in 1991. Magic Kingdom has changed a bit since then, but not a whole lot. Splash Mountain has been added and basically expanded Fantasyland replaced Mickey's Toontown. So if the park goes back to the 1991 version, I still like it a lot and I did that time too.
But there is no Epcot in 1971, or Animal Kingdom or DHS. Just MK, Fort Wilderness and the surrounding hotels like Contemporary and Polynesian. No Disney Springs, that comes in 1975, no Boardwalk, that comes in the 1980s.
How much do you enjoy Magic Kingdom in 1971 by today's standards? Think of what is there at the time. Snow White, Peter Pan, Mr. Toad, Small World, Dumbo, Tomorrowland Speedway, Flight to the Moon, Liberty Square Riverboat (but no Tom Sawyer Island yet), Hall of President, Country Bears, Tiki Birds, Jungle Cruise, Swiss Family Treehouse, Frontierland Shootin' Arcade, etc.
Where would it rank in your eyes?
