It's lost it's own identity on what it wants to be..

I honestly would take Epcot 94-96 (and the rest of WDW of that era) any day of the week. What amazing times.*
*Although WDW April-Sept 1998 was pretty good too-- Animal Kingdom just open and Toad, Horizons, Figment, Dreamflight, Timekeeper, Alien Encounter, FedEx Space Mountain, original CBJ (Plus Pleasure Island, Disney Quest) etc. still going strong. Hotels all at the top of their game as well. Darn it all those were good times....

Don't forget Enchanted Tiki Room Under N... nevermind.

Yeah, I admit that came to mind. But on the whole... (at least you could still see the original at DL if you desired). Also 20k was gone at that point as well. But classic WDW died the day they closed down Toad. I was there but that's a very long story

It’s a shame they couldn’t have added some transportation… a people mover system would do wonders for the park. Imagine being able to ride from the entrance to American adventure instead of walking!
For real. I remember ordering food in the app during Covid and realizing it was TIME to pick up, but I was in Canada at the time. You think it's all fairly close until you have to gather kids and walk it.

Epcot centre is still amazing! My favourite park , I get it, it has to go back and fix figment attraction, urgently! Pixar shorts needs to go back to a 3D 10 min proper show ,the land needs a refurbishment, S Earth needs updating, but look at creations and connections, they did a great job with that, GOTG is brilliant, space 220 is an attraction in itself, I put it down to 5 things that will fix this park, Figment attraction update, Mary poppins attraction , space ship earth re-think, the land refurbishment, and lastly they need to look at play pavilion again. Do this and Epcot’s truly back !
