That's a pretty wonderful likeness. Depending on how it's staged in the park, and how close you can get to it, I can see it becoming a popular photo spot for guests.

Walt Disney never wanted EPCOT to be a park in the first place so his hands would've been like that in 1982.His hands should be like this considering how far from his dream of EPCOT that park is...

The center of E.P.C.O.T. was planned to have recreational activities, as well as international village with European streets for different restaurants. Honestly feel he would’ve been flattered. They built the center part, but didn’t feel they could do the city without him.I think Walt Disney would have been extremely impressed with EPCOT Center had he gotten to experience it in 1982... and was never told (or saw) the name.
This^^^. EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow consisted of the center portion (themed entertainment and dining) and surrounding residential areas.The center of E.P.C.O.T. was planned to have recreational activities, as well as international village with European streets for different restaurants.

I feel like Epcot as Disney wanted it would have turned into a dystopian hell scape and possibly bankrupted the companyThe center of E.P.C.O.T. was planned to have recreational activities, as well as international village with European streets for different restaurants.

Not with that attitude'You cannot experiment with peoples lives'.
EPCOT, as a city, was never a practical idea and the Imagineers soon figured that out. They could build a city but the E,P and T would have gone away. As John Hench (The main person behind "that painting") said 'You cannot experiment with peoples lives'.
But Disney says Celebration is the spirit of Walt's vision of EPCOT. I'm sure somewhere they say the same about Golden Oak...EPCOT, as a city, was never a practical idea and the Imagineers soon figured that out.

Basically thats the best you can get in terms of "forward thinking" - imagine living in a city where the transportation is constantly down, the garbage disposal backs up, the A/C goes on the fritz --- all of this would be EPCOT today if they had built it based on "futuristic" 1972 technology. It's not for no reason that Disney abandoned their transportation division.But Disney says Celebration is the spirit of Walt's vision of EPCOT.

Every new bathroom and trash can is "Walt's vision"..it's a trite Imagineering statement reserved for lackluster projectsBut Disney says Celebration is the spirit of Walt's vision of EPCOT. I'm sure somewhere they say the same about Golden Oak...

The only thing Walt truly wanted was his dystopian city and cigarettes
Money buys cigarettesAnd money, he liked success
