I was talking with family yesterday about how the Contemporary rooms were built offsite by US Steel. I looked it up on Wikipedia and was surprised to find that the Polynesian was built the same way. WIkipedia also mentioned that the resorts were designed by Welton Becket and Associates. Curious about what else they designed, I looked them up on Google. The first site that comes up is called Emporis. Navigating to the "Walt Disney World" link (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/cx/?id=waltdisneyworld-lakebuenavista) allows you to see what else they designed at there. Especially of interest to this group is a link called "The Kingdom Tower". I know a while back it was reported that Gwathmey Siegel & Associates had designed the new building. I don't know how they might be related. Oh well, the site doesn't really contain any new information, but I thought you all might get a kick out of it anyway.
