I certainly wouldn't go that far, I never feel it's unsafe in Epcot, or anywhere on WDW property. But I will say that we don't go into the World Showcase later at night. We don't drink, and I know I'm in the very small minority, but I don't really have interest in being around drunks. Happy drunks, sad drunks, belligerent drunks, no thanks. I know, I know, not everyone get stinking drunk, I'm fully aware of that. But even if it's just a handful, ugh... So for me, it's not a safety thing at all, just something I personally dislike.
I have no clue who Alex Morgan is, but glad she got thrown out.
