CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 If the picture were reversed, wouldn't we see a garden wing? Never mind ... duh ... I figured out my question didn't make sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Is is possible the picture was not taken from the monorail, but maybe was taken from the MK train as it passed through Tomorrowland? And what you are seeing is the track along the lagoon coming from the MK, which loops around and into the CR? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I think the first way was right and that is the maintenance track. I found this one online that looks like it is from the same general direction. Could my dad's picture be taken from Star Jets or the people mover maybe? Or the skyway? Never mind ... duh ... I figured out my question didn't make sense. I think you're right Aaron. The photo makes sense if it was taken from inside the MK. There certainly are no tracks in front of the Contemporary now: This is your original photo: And this is the same image flipped: Gwen- I thought your question was a good one. Anyway, I don't think I'm ever going to figure it out-so I'm going to move on to those Poly photos! TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whether is was on the skyway, the train or another attraction, I do think that pic was taken in Tomorrowland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Next up.......I feel like looping back around to the Contemporary for a bit prior to our first stop at the Magic Kingdom. couple things.... First, I love that you have a pic of the room with that map that used to decorate all of them. Those things are incredible. You see them for sale now and then, but most were simply discarded when the rooms were remodeled. A crime. Secondly....LOVE LIVE THE EWP!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 The more I look at the pic of the CR, the more I think it was taken from the train. It appears to be near ground level, and could have been taken from the location right after it comes out from behind Space Mtn. There is water there to the left of the train.

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Never mind ... duh ... I figured out my question didn't make sense. Made sense to me. Is that bad? Is is possible the picture was not taken from the monorail, but maybe was taken from the MK train as it passed through Tomorrowland? And what you are seeing is the track along the lagoon coming from the MK, which loops around and into the CR? Yup. Never mind ... duh ... I figured out my question didn't make sense. Great Poly pics! Thanks! I think you're right Aaron. The photo makes sense if it was taken from inside the MK.

Whether is was on the skyway, the train or another attraction, I do think that pic was taken in Tomorrowland. We worked it out together. Now we know. And knowing is half the battle. G.I. Joe!! Overkill?couple things.... First, I love that you have a pic of the room with that map that used to decorate all of them. Those things are incredible. You see them for sale now and then, but most were simply discarded when the rooms were remodeled. A crime. Secondly....LOVE LIVE THE EWP!!!! I wish i had a better pic of the rooms. Those were really fuzzy. Maybe in the 35mm pics? We will see when I can get my hands on those.Loving the trip so far.Thanks Annie! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was lucky enough to stay at the Polynesian Resort a couple of times in the late 70's when my dad loaded us up in our Brady Bunch station wagon and we visited Florida from filthy New Jersey. I remember those maps! I remember that they showed the future resorts that were planned to be built around the Seven Seas Lagoon. I always thought they were cool. What I don't remember is the Polynesian Lobby looking like a '70's train station: And, I think Aaron and his bro are wearing Fort Wilderness T Shirts! I think I see Musket Mickey!

But why is Aaron sitting so far away from his mom and bro? Did he scoot over there for a little 'Ohana action? It is the Poly, afterall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Awesome TR! BTW, I agree on the CR pic....It's a unique angle for sure. Coincedently, I was going through some old slides the other night and found some from the early 80's of the Fort, EPCOT, and MK. I am going to order a slide scanner to transfer them to digital.

Wow, that's great! The early 80's would be neat to see. You are right about the angle. I cropped Aaron's photo with the train, and it creates a similar view: If Aaron's photo included a bit more to the left, we would see the track split and curve one way to the Contemporary and the other way to the service area.
