A very interesting essay. I mark "the change" as early as when the decision was made to abandon Walt's idea for an Experimental Community of Tomorrow, and instead build a theme park. I like EPCOT, but I always think how sad Walt would have been to see it and to realize it was not built for people to live in.
The more noticeable change came with MGM and the All Star Resorts.
DCA was conceived during an Aspen brainstorming session, the annual "Aspen Charette", or something, where the wealthy Disney execs gather with their wives each year. I will reserve judgment on DCA until I go there in the Fall, but you do have to realize the space was limited (once they decided to build right there in a parking lot - and to include a Downtown Disney).
