TinkerBelle8878 : Yes the Mary Blair work is very nice too, probably exists in peoples homes throughout the United States (especially Florida)
Anyone : Well I kind of cant update much more, Id have hoped people would post their own pictures since flickr and webshots can only show so much. I...
TheBeatles : thanks for info. And I must say WOW at your blog, its late but I just clicked through and its really up my ally (bookmarked). I suspect you are the person who buys the old disney plastic/paper bags on ebay hehe. Great stuff, thanks for sharing
Anyone : still interested in more...
I started a topic in Resorts, trips, cruise forum about history of Resort rooms and changes they went through Link here -http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=630616.
Anyhow in my search for pictures from the resorts from the different time periods I came across this pic (btw check out...
While looking for some 80s references to Disney rooms on flickr I came across this jewel. This guy is awesome, he took pictures of a vacation trip to Disney world in 84 and its great to see many old things long gone and some still there. BONUS, if you browse around the rest of his pictures hes...
ErickainPA : Quiet a list of hotels, since I dont have any images from that time I cant be sure if other hotels besides Contemporary had that map in their rooms. Maybe if I can make this topic grow with more interest their will be no doubts how the rooms looked at that time.

I found this photo on flickr, (credits to owner) Does anyone know what resort this is from? I'm assuming it is due to the photo on the wall and the rest of the photos are indeed from WDW in 73.
[EDIT] Image above...
kbmum : Thanks for the photo, that is amazing. Theme-ing really doesn't seem evident back then. I wonder if the items that were in the rooms were catalog type items that were widely available to anyone. The artwork however looks special, Mary Blair type stuff. Thanks for sharing

I recently bought Contemporary room lamp from previous room design ( flying saucer one) It got me thinking, how have the resorts decor changed through the years. I did some looking on this forum and on the net and was unsuccessful at finding any such pictures. I was thinking be great to see how...
Hehe thanks, I'm really looking forward to returning again soon ( who knows when)
Hopefully someone with a really good memory will remember and give an update to this thread.
I took a cruise with my family February 2008 and had a GREAT time. I'd highly recommend the Disney Cruise line to anyone. I'm normally a very picky eater and very predictable in the foods I pick, but on that first cruise of mine I tried so many different types of foods. It was great fun... but...
Hmm... Operation Rescue Dreamfinder.....
Ok this is going off topic, but that name just made me think of a crazy attraction idea. Think, Dinosaur attraction (theme of it) meets JIYI. Figment tells you that Dreamfinder has been located/heard from. Been kidnapped away in the alternate dimension...
