It IS a great vantage point at any time, and a nice quiet spot. But it has nothing to do with vintage Waltness. Walt never saw the place, and did not envision it as a public part of Disneyland. Losing it as a public space does nothing to compromise Walt's vision of the Park.
If anything - - though I think the current Pirates entrance is an improvement - - the double staircases, the bridge, and the entire "sunken" queue in front of Pirates are contrary to the way Walt designed this corner of Disneyland.
