Bigger is not always better. In DW's case, I think the newer world,
staring with Epcot, progressively confused and bastardized the
original simple MK concept. Epcot was a mess from the start, not like what Walt envisioned at all. EPCOT(city of tomorrow), was supposed to be the fruition of what all that extra land Walt bought
was all about. The whole park was supposed to become an experimental city, with a large residential element(shades of Celebration), and cutting edge design and technology. Epcot
became instead a slightly-updated version of Tomorrowland,
and after that the overriding theme of E.P.C.O.T. was lost.
Then they amalgamted a hodgepodge of other parks ideas
to destroy completely any overriding theme(MGM studios-
rip off off universal;Animal kingdom-rip-off of San Diego zoo).
They then proceeded to build a bunch of unrelated hotel themes
more confusing than the Las vegas strip, and got too big, just
like the parent company itself. I will never forget the 70's MK!
