Talk:Disney's Contemporary Resort

message: Cas24, those are some great edits! I just want to draw attention to a few specific changes I made:
*Be careful to use "encyclopedic language". Like, the heading "A Uniquely Contemporary Design" is more advertising-ish than encyclopedic.
*As one of the original hotels at Disney World, it was one of only two hotels that Walt Disney had knowledge of before his death. We can't say that for certain; we don't know whether Walt had the other resorts in mind.
*The wings are connected to the central building by sidewalks (partially covered), not bridges.
*I don't think the humidity was the reason for the modules no longer being removable - humidity doesn't make concrete expand, does it?
*You said that the resort incorporated many different construction methods and firsts for a resort hotel. I removed this for now because it's not substantiated, but I'd like more information on it - what are some of the construction methods that were used, and what were some of the firsts?
*I removed this: Current rooms at the Contemporary Resort are bold, with a rapid infusion of color and retro style. Making use of sharp primary colors red, yellow and blue, these colors adorn the walls, beds and various pieces of furniture in guest rooms. It doesn't really tell me much, other than making the rooms sound like kindergarten playrooms. Can you find (or photograph) pictures of the insides of the rooms that we can use?
I had to stop editing about halfway through for now, because I've got some errands to run. The rest of the article still needs some work to make it more encyclopedic - for example, the exhortation that guests should not be alarmed doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. - Brian Kendig 15:44, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Hi Brian,
Yeah, later last night I was reviewing the edits that I had made, and they sounded a bit advert-type like, though I didn't have a chance to go ahead and fix them up. I'll continue to make some modifications, hopefully where you left off, to make it much more encyclopedic. As far as pictures go, I'll be heading to this resort in a couple days, and have planned to take pictures there (thus not having to worry about copyright issues). You're more than welcome to do so though yourself (seeing as you live in Walt Disney World...you actually live at the resort or in Celebration?) though :). I have linked photos to the new rooms in the external links section until I can get some royalty free photos myself.
I still intend to put a statement back in about the rooms however, with their sharp use of color. It's an important factor that coincides with the overall feel of the rooms. If you want to base it off of public reaction to them... some would say they were kindergarden playrooms :P. Cas24 19:05, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
:Sounds terrific! I think a discussion about the old look of the rooms is warranted - just be careful to be specific, and if you're documenting an opinion, be specific about what people expressed the opinion - don't use weasel words. I look forward to seeing your pictures! - Brian Kendig 02:21, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

message: This is a great article, however there appears to be a glaring omission.  Why haven't you mentioned the mural designed by Mary Blair which is in the Grand Canyon Concourse? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.106.21.230 (talk • contribs) 
: Mary Blair is noted the second paragraph and in the caption below the image of her mosaic. She is also wikilinked to her WP article.  hydnjo talk 19:51, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Should the guest room section be re-writen so that is describes the new (renovated) room layout.  As of now, all rooms should be renovated.Jetset59 (talk) 06:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I have strong doubts about the statement that, pre-1984, the Contemporary was considered a campground. I have never heard this mentioned anywhere else, including the many Disney World-related books and articles that I've read. Can this be verified? PurpleChez (talk) 21:55, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
