Here's a better pic of the original Contemporary Resort beach and 2 pools, borrowed from retrodisneyworld.com. Color is still off, but correctly shows that the pools were blue. The Contemporary Resort opened October 1, 1971, along with Magic Kingdom and the Polynesian Village Resort.
In the 1960s, WDW was all worthless swamp land. LOL
Back in May, 2001, there was water in this fountain, and many other locations throughout Adventureland.
And wasn't I a snappy dresser back then? LOL!!!
I would love to just walk through MK in the 1970s. The emptiness of the park is so amazing. Working in Tomorrowland in 2013 I saw the park after everyone has left late at night, but it is so weird to see it in the middle of the day with no people.
