The Old Contemporary Arcade

[PeterP]

Anyone remember the old contemporary arcade? Our first trip to WDW was in 1980, when we were kids. I don't remember all the details, but I remember being really amazed by that arcade -- including by its shear size. If memory serves, there was a shooting gallery in there (?)

I loved the old arcade. It was a great place. I am glad at least the new arcade still has prizes. I wish the other resort arcades did that.

I remember it well. Used to love it when we were kids. I remember they had caricature artists when you first went in. My parents still have caricatures of us kids from probably the mid 70's, maybe '76 or '77.

The new arcade just doesn't compare. I loved that place when I was a kid.

My family stayed at the contemporary in Nov. 1984--I was about 9 years old at the time. I remember the charactures! I also remember there was a large snack bar there--like big enough that we ate several of our meals there.
