Here is my contribution. 26 photos from 1972 and 1973 of MK and Contemporary. These are of my wife and her family.

Thanks for posting the link! I was stunned to see that you could swim in the lake! Too bad they had to stop it - I guess the water is too dirty now.

This thread is hilarious. I first went to WDW in 1980 and some of these shots are bringing back so many memories.

I've actually thought about this - which is why I TRY not to wear too many prints in my vacation photos!

I am loving this thread!!!!

When my parents took us to WDW as a child it was either 1980 or 1981, there was only MK and 3 hotels. The Poly (where we stayed), the Contemporary, and what else??????? I wasn't the Floridian.

I even remember River Country that was there when we went. I remember seeing the construction for Epcot.

the pack rat's family gene is alive and well on this site......

i can't believe someone else has kept that "life magazine" all
these years...we saw one at the pop 04, but it wasn't in very
good shape...

isn't it interesting how some things stick to your memory? i think,
because it was broadcasted in the media..i can remember exactly
what i was doing on the day it opened...cutting grass...thinking,
those lucky dogs & closer but not close enough for us to go...


i saved the post cards from the 70's...one roll of film was more than
enough for our 80's & the 90's visits ..funny thing...in one, the riverboat
from disneyland was transferred onto the picture beside wdw's haunted
mansion...i have no idea the reason why.



and if the truth be told, we knew "disney world" was a memory we desired
for our children....however, i cannot tell what that meant....except i feel it
was related to the "wonderful world of disney".... i was always disappointed
with the shows instead of cartoons...while the first i ever saw at the movies,
was right before christmas..."pinocchio"..i thought the blue fairy was one
groovy chick...but the "donkey scene" ..gave me the ! & monstro
seemed to have been after me...maybe it stuck because it was the same
christmas i received a banna bike.completed with a varoom motor...



of course..most here probably never heard of a varoom motors or the
orginal banna bikes? ...there was a "time", when i toooo

thought 30 was over the hill..now it's a youngster! geeks o' peeks!

Some of these pictures are hilarious!

I love the 80's clothing

BTW, the "other hotel" that was open before Epcot opened was what is now Shades of Green. It was originally called the Disney Golf Resort (1973-1985), then called the Disney Inn (1986-1993). The military took it over in 1994.

The "vacation villas" over at what is now Saratoga Springs were also open at that time. These included the famously odd "treehouse villas". The villas were built in the mid-1970's.
