The distortion is still there, even for small features as seen in the OP examples of circular features of the park. This due to the changing length of longitudinal unit at a given latitude.
Historically this is the reason web mapping picked up Mercator in the first place, since it preserves angles and relatives sizes (conformal) at city scales, which is the primary use case of those.
WGS84 is a CRS first, not meant to be used as cartographic projection for a known local scope. (for some Plate carée is more of a plot than a projection)
I’m not talking about converting between local CRS for surveying an local plate consistency. You just want the display to look not visibly distorted in a way that’s not intentional. Florida is still quite forgiving here. Eurodisney not so much.
