not to sound harsh but we all know EPCOT’s original intent was to make lots of money.
Guardians will drive attendance so I think it fits perfectly with EPCOT’s original intent.
Walt Disney was quite rich. So is Iger. The intent is the same in 2020 as it was in 1960.
I don't think it's original, Walt's, intent or even Roy's intent was totally to make money. The original community concept would have allowed some people and businesses in free as part of the research aspect. If you really go look at anything Walt Disney did, it usually lost money for a while, sometimes forever. I'm not commenting on anything today. Where's this 1960 year for? That's not any year that I know of associated with any new park ideas. I'm not saying that they don't intend to make money; they are a corporation. I don't think evidence supports that Walt's ideas were all or even mostly money based.
