TRAVEL FEATURE: DisneyÕs Contemporary Resort:
Promise of the Future
========================================================
by Jacque Boyle, Guest Contributor
With few exceptions, DisneyÕs Contemporary Resort is described as
being the least "themed" of the Walt Disney World resorts. But I love
the Contemporary because as a ÒJetsons" fan IÕve always been fascinated by
the idea of space travel and the promise of the future. So in November 1971
when I saw a monorail disappear into the Contemporary Tower like a space ship
docking in a magnificent, gleaming white space station, I was hooked. I could
hardly wait to take my first monorail trip into that tower, and when I finally
did, it was everything I had imagined and more.
When I step off the monorail onto the platform in the Grand Canyon
Concourse, itÕs like stepping into a vibrant city of the future, with the
sweeping expanse of the atrium windows, soaring tiers of walkways and the
swoosh of the monorails. I love feeling the energy of Chef MickeyÕs,
walking the wide Concourse with its gleaming shops, the view of Bay Lake and
the sight of that incredible mosaic mural. It may sound like a contradiction,
but it makes me feel simultaneously relaxed and energized.
Although taking the monorail into the Tower is what I like best,
driving up to the Contemporary is fun too, with the whimsical designs of the
trees lined up in front of the portico and the colorful stones paving the
drive. The varied lines and colors of the convention center buildings fit the
theme and the curving roof lines make it seem as though the building is in
motion, again adding to that aura of a futuristic city. And on every trip, my
first sight of the lobby with the clean lines, teak wood and open spaces,
combined with quiet, comfortable seating areas, makes me feel like IÕm in the
Art Deco lobby of an elegant cruise ship, perhaps a space cruise ship.
IÕm partial to the Tower rooms, not just for the location, but
more importantly for the views. For peaceful, natural surroundings, the Bay
Lake side of the Tower has wonderful views. During the day it can get a little
noisy from the pools area and marina, but mornings and evenings are quiet. But
my favorite rooms have a view of the Magic Kingdom and Seven Seas Lagoon. These
rooms can have a little more noise coming from the parking lot but seeing those
sleek monorails gliding around the lagoon only adds to the feeling that IÕm at
the center of a city of the future. I can immerse myself in the magic and
fantasy by taking my coffee out on the balcony early in the morning. The
futuristic landscape in front of the resort is gleaming with dew and to my
right the spires of Cinderella Castle are tinted a soft golden pink by the
rising sun. At night IÕll take a glass of wine out there to relax while the
ÒWishesÓ fireworks appear to be bursting right over my head. And I love the
Tomorrowland lights, shining like the midway at a futuristic fair. ThereÕs not
a better way to start and end my days at the Walt Disney World.
The Contemporary rooms are some of the largest on Disney property
and can comfortably accommodate five people, with two queens or one king along
with a daybed. The bathrooms are family friendly with a separate room for the
toilet, allowing for personal hygiene multi-tasking. I wasnÕt crazy about the
previous redecoration with the abstract designs in bright, primary colors on
the bedding and drapes, although I did like the funky shapes of the wall lamps
and tables (itÕs probably that ÒJetsonsÓ thing) and I love the ceiling fan. IÕm
looking forward to my next stay when I can experience the new furnishings. IÕve
seen the pictures and they look incredible, more in keeping with the elegant,
clean lines and futuristic theme of the resort.
I always feel so connected to all of Walt Disney World when IÕm at
the Contemporary, as though IÕm at the center of that vibrant future city. The
Tower rooms are the most convenient to Walt Disney World transportation, with
the monorail offering transportation to the Magic Kingdom/Ticket &
Transportation Center and connecting service to Epcot or the bus for service to
the other parks and Downtown Disney. The short walk to and from the Magic
Kingdom comes in handy at closing time when the monorails are running
full.
The Contemporary has some of the best dining options in the
ÒWorldÓ, from fast food to fine dining. The selection of breakfast items,
salads, sandwiches and beverages at the Food and Fun Center are perfect for
quick snacks or meals on the run. For me, the best character dining in the
ÒWorldÓ is at Chef MickeyÕs. ItÕs reasonably priced, I get to interact with
Mickey, Minnie, and pals, and choose from an amazing selection of delicious
foods, like scrumptious Mickey waffles at breakfast to carved-to-order roast
beef at dinner. For quieter meals, I enjoy the Concourse Steakhouse with the
monorail overhead for atmosphere to accompany their moderately priced food and
attentive service. After a hectic day in the parts, I like to sit back in the
one of the comfortable chairs at the Outer Rim Lounge, relax with an exotic
cocktail and maybe a light appetizer, and enjoy the panoramic view of the
sunset on Bay Lake.
But I really love the California Grill with its incredible view
from the 15th floor, amazing food and adventurous wine selection. The sushi bar
has fresh, inventive sushi and the open kitchen turns out California-inspired
dishes from flat bread pizza to unbelievable desserts. The menu changes weekly,
in order to use the freshest ingredients available, so thereÕs something
different to try every time IÕm there. I usually time my meal so I can watch
ÒWishesÓ from my table or the outside observation deck. And for a dining change
of pace, the Wilderness Lodge, Polynesian and Grand Floridian are a short ride
on a boat or the monorail.
For a break from the parks, the marina has boat rentals, fishing
expeditions and parasailing with unbelievable views of the ÒWorldÓ! The pools
at the Contemporary are much improved since the last rehab and I especially
like the quiet pool area closer to Bay Lake for relaxing.
Shopping on the Grand Canyon Concourse is an experience in itself
- Bayview Gifts with its wide variety of house wares, candy and upscale Disney
clothing and jewelry for men and women; the Pin Station that always has a
selection of pins not found in other locations, and Fantasia is the place to
pick up a Disney plush animal, models of the Contemporary and monorail,
scrap-booking supplies, a bottle of wine for watching the fireworks or a new
book.
Although IÕve stayed at other deluxe Disney resorts, the
Contemporary will always be my first love and first choice. So, the next time
your monorail glides into the Tower, get off at the Grand Canyon Concourse and
step into the promise of the future at my pick for the most magically themed
resort at Walt Disney World - DisneyÕs Contemporary Resort.
Jacque is "54 years-young" and fell in love with Walt
Disney World on her first trip in November 1971. She has been back 16 times, 12
of those as a solo traveler. She describes herself as a "major
planner" and says, "Since I made my first trip with PassPorter in
2001, I couldn't go without it."

DISNEY FEATURE: Past Attractions and Hidden Tributes at Magic
Kingdom
========================================================
by Jill Clinevell Shelton, Guest Contributor
For many dedicated Disney fans, visiting Walt Disney World has
become as much a part of their lives as visiting family or old friends. We
travel to ÒUncle WaltÕsÓ and feel as if weÕve come home. Most of us have
favorite attractions or sights that we canÕt wait to see as soon as we enter
into that magical place. But, what happens when our favorite attraction is no
longer there? The Disney Imagineers also have a special place in their hearts
for many of the classics that have gone by the wayside, and so, find a way to
honor the ancestor in the new attraction. What are these attractions that many
of us loved and some never had the opportunity to experience? What sits in
their footprint today? How are our old favorites memorialized?
One of the most popular rides in Fantasyland today is The Many
Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Most children today love Pooh and his friends
and canÕt wait to get aboard their ÒhunnyÓ pot for a trip through the Hundred
Acre Wood. But Pooh is relatively new to the neighborhood, only arriving in
June 1999. Pooh replaced a classic fan favorite, Mr. ToadÕs Wild Ride which
opened with the park in 1971.
Mr. ToadÕs Wild Ride was a romp in a roadster driven by the
eccentric Mr. Toad. It was based on the book (and Disney cartoons), ÒThe Wind
in the WillowsÓ. It was not 3-D or even animatronic as Pooh is now, but it did
have a twist. When the rider chose the right or left line in which to stand to
wait their turn, they also chose their adventure, as there were two tracks and
two experiences. However, no matter which track was chosen the adventure always
ended the same: a head-on collision with an on-coming train!
Plenty of fans were quite upset when the announcement was made to
replace Mr. Toad with Pooh. They staged green shirt sit-ins and wrote letters
of protest. The decision was made, however, and Pooh moved in. But, if you look
closely as youÕre riding through The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, youÕll
see a picture hanging on the wall of OwlÕs house in which Mr. Toad is handing
over a ÒdeedÓ to Owl. A second portrait has fallen onto the floor of Moley
(another character from the Wind in the Willows) and Pooh. And, if youÕd like
to see and touch a part of Disney history that is no more, you can find one of
the original roadsters from Mr. ToadÕs Wild Ride in the Exposition Hall on Main
Street.
Across the way from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is the
new PoohÕs Playful Spot, a soft playground for preschoolers featuring PoohÕs
tree house and spilling hunny pots. ItÕs hard to imagine now that the Hundred
Acre Wood used to be an 11.5 million gallon lagoon! 20,000 Leagues Under the
Sea opened to the public in October 1971. It was a submarine ride down to the
ocean bottom complete with divers, coral reefs and even a giant squid. Based on
the Jules Verne classic novel and the Disney movie, this quickly became a
favorite of many visitors. However it was closed in 1994 after 23 years of
operations due to maintenance and loading issues. The lagoon remained intact
for 10 years and was used as staging for ArielÕs Grotto while the old queue was
used for the Fantasyland Character Festival. Then, in 2004 the lagoon was
drained to make way for PoohÕs Playful Spot.
Not to miss an opportunity to memorialize such a beloved
attraction, the Imagineers hid a tribute to 20,000 Leagues inside the tree
house in the new playground. If you squeeze into the doorway of the tree and
turn again to face outdoors, you will find a small blue submarine ÒcarvedÓ into
the door frame. Additionally, one of the famous submarines has a new home on
DisneyÕs Castaway Cay, the private island for Disney Cruise Line guests.
Visitors can swim to the Nautilus and explore her once again, but this time in
the real ocean!
Another popular Magic Kingdom attraction whose home has a similar
but more extensive history is Buzz LightyearÕs Space Ranger Spin. Who doesnÕt
like spinning through space and zapping targets to defeat the evil Emperor
Zurg? But, back in 1972, this Tomorrowland space housed a very different
attraction.
If You Had Wings was a whirlwind trip around the world in the
comfort of a vehicle similar to the Buzz Lightyear ride minus the laser guns.
You passed through scenes showcasing different locales such as the Speed Tunnel
through which your vehicle slowly moved, but the films that sped all around you
made you feel as if you were truly flying. If You Had Wings lost its
sponsorship through Eastern Airlines in 1987 and was changed that same year to
If You Could Fly, with new music and no references to Eastern. In 1989 If You
Could Fly closed and reopened six months later as Dreamflight, sponsored now by
Delta. This time the attraction was completely altered but rode on the same
track. Dreamflight remained open for seven years, closing briefly in June 1996
when Delta dropped its sponsorship and reopened as Take Flight. Take Flight ran
until January 1998 when it was closed to make way for the new Toy Story
attraction. Buzz LightyearÕs Space Ranger Spin premiered in October of the same
year. Buzz makes use of the original track and room structure as well as the
speed tunnel. The Imagineers also made use of some whimsical cutout chickens
originally located in Dreamflight and Take Flight - the chickens can now be
found in the room with the volcano in the Space Ranger Spin.
A close neighbor to Buzz Lightyear in Tomorrowland is that
menacing alien, Stitch, in StitchÕs Great Escape which premiered in the Fall of
2004. But, even before the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter, which opened in
1995, then closed in 2003 to make way for Stitch, there was a long-running
staple in the same location for many years.
Flight to the Moon was a simulated space flight in a stationary
building (the same one with the same room configurations as todayÕs Stitch
attraction) unlike the flight simulators of today which actually move! There
was a circular seating arrangement with a screen overhead and on the floor in
the center of the seats on which films were shown to give the sensation of your
rocket ship blasting off into space. As an added special effect, the chairs on
which guests were seated inflated and deflated to simulate the effects of
gravity!
At the time Flight to the Moon premiered in 1971, it was already
outdated as NASA had already succeeded in landing on the moon. It remained open
by the same name until 1975 when it was briefly revamped as Mission to Mars
with a new destination of the Red Planet. Mission to Mars continued to shuttle
guests on quick trips to and from outer space until 1994.
Although, seemingly not as well-loved and missed as other Òextinct
attractions,Ó Mission to Mars and Flight to the Moon are memorialized in the
Tomorrowland Transit Authority. As the public transportation system of
Tomorrowland passes over Carousel of Progress there is heard a page for ÒMr.
Tom Morrow,Ó who was the fictional director of operations at Mission Control in
the two original attractions.
As we remember favorite attractions of the past that now have a
new tenant, we also should note that there are a few lesser known attractions
that have simply vanished. Some of these are the Plaza Swan Boats that took
guests on an enchanting trip around the waters surrounding the castle, the Davy
Crockett Explorer Canoes in which guests and two coon-skin capped cast members
paddled around the Rivers of America, and, of course, the Skyway which shuttled
guests from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland and back again high above the ÒWorldÓ.
However, most of our favorite past attractions that are gone today, are not
completely forgotten, and if we search hard enough we might notice a special
hidden secret just for those of us who remember.
Jill is a former schoolteacher and a stay-at-home mom of two
little Disney princesses. She and her family love learning about Disney secrets
and history and are currently planning their next trip to Walt Disney World, a
Grand Gathering, for later this year.

DISNEY TIPS FROM FELLOW READERS
==========================================
Our readers are a wealth of information! Here are the winners in
this month's tip contest:
WHETHER OR NOT WEATHER
"One of the most valuable things that I do before heading out
on our trip is check on the most up to date weather so I can pack rain gear or
make a slight change in plans regarding our itinerary." (Editor's Note:
Check out www.accuweather.com for hour-by-hour weather forecasts.)
-- contributed by Patricia W. (princesstricia7@...)
FAN-TASTIC
"Something I would highly recommend for any staterooms on a
Disney Cruise ship which do not have any access to fresh air would be a a
portable fan. We found with several people taking showers in a row and trying
to get ready for a nice dinner in such a small space (we had a category 11
stateroom), that we would have appreciated anything to move the air around in
the room. As PassPorter's cruise guide points out, there are only a couple of
power sockets, so you may want to consider bringing along a battery-powered
fan."
-- contributed by Mike R.
"BAG" THE SNACKS
"Bring plastic baggies! When my kids get snacks from vendors
they usually don't finish them. For example: 'Mom, can I please have a churro?'
If they ever want another one (and they will), let them finish the one they
already started. It's easy and a great way to save money."
-- contributed by Taylor S. (dancingsinger27@...)

CAPTAIN'S CORNER: Treasure Hunting Game
==========================================
Play our fun and quirky treasure hunting game, hosted by Captain
Jack Skatt from our upcoming book, "PassPorter's Treasure Hunts at Walt
Disney World."
The Captain makes a study of the delightful details -- sometimes
hidden, sometimes in plain sight but often overlooked -- at Walt Disney World
and aboard the Disney Cruise Line. Using notes from his journals, he will lead
you to this "treasure" at Disney with clues, questions, photos, or
riddles. Your challenge is to discover the answer by searching your memory,
visiting Disney, or even just looking really hard on the Internet. If you think
you've found the answer, e-mail it to jackskatt@passporter.com -- the first
person to correctly submit the FULL answer will receive a free PassPorter
enamel pin or PassPorter name badge pin.
It seems the Captain has stumped you for the first time! No one
got the correct answer to last week's treasure hunt question.
Here is another clue...
Here is this week's treasure from Captain Skatt's Journal:
"At last! The fateful day for my ascent to Everest has
arrived. After a sleepless night, I boarded the Anandapur Rail Service train at
dawn. Unfortunately, my sherpa is nowhere to be seen. I fear the chap may have
gotten cold feet. Luckily, it seems that I won't be taking my expedition alone
after all. The train is full of other explorers like myself, enthusiastically
awaiting the train to begin our adventure. In fact, now that I look around, I'm
astounded at how many people are on this train. I count... (rest of text
obscured by handprints and smudges)"
So how many lucky passengers does the Anandapur Rail Service
train hold?
Congratulations to Pamela Dotson who was the winner of last
newsletter's treasure hunt game last week! Pamela correctly identified the name
of the nutty professor as Professor Pumba Dorjay. To view the original clues,
see thelast newsletter.
Send your full answer to jackskatt@passporter.com
-- the winner will be notified by e-mail and announced in the next newsletter,
along with the correct answer!
If you enjoy treasure hunts, we've got an entire book with over
100 distinct treasure hunts and over 1500 questions, complete with clues and
contributions from Captain Skatt. We will release the book --
"PassPorter's Treasure Hunts at Walt Disney World" -- in April 2006.

Q & A WITH JENNIFER & DAVE
====================================
Disneymom62 asks: "Can we go and explore the Atlantis Resort
in Nassau on their own, or do we have to book an excursion? We'd like to go
wander around it, eat at one of their restaurants, and possibly stop by the
casino. Any info would be most helpful!"
Jennifer and Dave answer: "Yes, you can explore Atlantis on
your own. There's no problem getting a taxi from the pier over to the resort,
and once you're there you can explore the resort on your own. They sure don't
mind if you visit the casino or restaurants! The retail price of the aquarium
admission (if you're interested) is lower than the shore excursion rate."

that folks have already asked and answered the same question that's on your
