Still an awful typeface.

I agree that it's still awful (I'm not a fan of the style), but at least it's better than the real one.

 

[Touchdown]

Why not combine them? Have the script typeface in front with the Mickey ears D enlarged and grey in the background.

The original WDW font is the US Steel font for a few reasons.
I like it better than the more corporate version since 1996.

Agreed. Type face issues with the old WDW logo aside. the original WDW logo is still LIGHT YEARS ahead of any logo since.

That font is disturbingly bad. There's no reason for the Ws to be below the baseline. The tail of the y does appropriately drop below the baseline, but the bottom of the upper loop misses the base line. Everything that is horizontal is skinnier than the vertical -- except when it isn't. The D is a ridiculous shape that doesn't match the rest of the type. The globe looks more like a web than a globe. The ears are tangent to the globe instead of being slightly behind the 'face' as is usually depicted.

The lettering is centered horizontally around an axis that runs straight through the middle of it. So the W hangs below because it is a larger letter - it is also higher than the top of the lowercase l and d by the same amount.

It's a weird design choice but it appears it was intentional. It's a very 70s (pre-computer design) style choice. I don't find it to be problematic for a 70s era children's facility, and most of my family has shirts with that logo on it, but I certainly do agree that it would be ridiculous today if it were their main logo.

At least they didn't stick characters into the logo like Hollywood did. Picture Moana's face in the letter O.

And please remember don't call EPCOT "Epcot" any more. It's pronounced: EPCOT.

Is it the automated spiel or just the pilot talking?

Automated. I heard "a whole new world" by one of the food booths. Idk if it's part of the FW loop but it was by innoventions.
