The difference isn't trivial but part of a large cultural change. I tried to address a bit of it in what I wrote about the opening of California Adventure and is posted here<br /><br />http://www.imagineeringdisney.com/blog/2010/7/12/out-with-the-walt-in-with-the-new.html<br /><br />Thanks for writing this.

While I never experienced a true form of EPCOT, I understand the ideals pretty well. And you're right, corportations are not the answer either. I would just like to see a return to the old EPCOT spirit.

And as you say, it is no EPCOT. I don't think it ever was...not what Walt intended, at least. Walt wasn't looking at it as another theme park at all. It became something pretty cool, though (at least it sounds like it did). And it's still pretty cool in my opinion. <br /><br />EPCOT becomes a word, Epcot, much like SCUBA becomes a word, scuba. While I understand how much it bothers some people, it doesn't bother me.
