Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 The batch of Contemporary Resort construction photos that Todd found is amazing. I want to revisit this one: What is going on there down at the bottom left corner of the area in the photo? Let's take a closer look: Dude. That's the water bridge under construction! Check out the lower left corner of this photo: Closer: From that same photo, check out the northern shore of Bay Lake- that is the beach where those previous photos we looked at were taken: It's amazing how many high quality WDW construction photos are floating around the internet. One of these days, I hope someone finds some from the Fort. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Amazing. Doesn't look very contemporary to me. I was confused for a minute by this photo- but that is the Polynesian. They built the Poly's dock first too, for some reason. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Whoa! That is cool! Look how the Polynesian Resort looks! What is that area shown there by Shipwreck Island? Is that supposed to be a campground? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 The former architecture major in me is loving all these cool construction photos!! The Content Po-Po in me just wants to remind folks that if they're linking directly to photos on other website (i.e., not from images in your own person photo accounts), please include a link to the page you found it on. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specularius 102 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I believe the docks were built while Bay lake was drained and before Seven Seas Lagoon was flooded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I believe the docks were built while Bay lake was drained and before Seven Seas Lagoon was flooded. That makes sense. Also, they clearly filled in the areas they wanted to while the water level was down. Even that big empty square where the Grand Floridian sits today. That was smart- way easier to do it that way. Same thing with the monorail supports. There are a few south of the Contemporary Resort that are in the water. You can see that there wasn't water there when they installed them.

Pool guy Mickey 8 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 How is a child that small allowed to ride a pony without an adult holding the pony's harness?Easy. Back then nobody thought about safety. They thought about fun. Growing up a lot of my parents cars didn't have seat belts, I never had a helmet to ride a bike, back then we had to fight with our parents to go outside. Now days I have to tell my kids to get out of the house and go do something. They go outside long enough to go to a friends house to play video games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 How is a child that small allowed to ride a pony without an adult holding the pony's harness? 10' from train tracks and without a helmet? I would love to get my hands on a copy of that poster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 We used to tumble around in the back of the station wagon while driving to our grandparent's house. No safety belts for us either, nor helmets. I sure do miss those days when everyone knew their neighbor and it was safe to let your kids stay outside until the street lights came on without a parent hovering around.
