Walt Disney World Flashback: Original Contemporary Resort Decor

Disney’s Contemporary Resort was the first Disney resort I ever slept at (back in 1984) and has always been my favorite alongside Disney’s Polynesian Resort. Here’s a great shot of what the rooms looked like when the resort opened back in October 1971, thanks to the Disney Parks Blog…
