Mousesteps also has some photos of around Fort Wilderness Campground on the new site update!

Polynesian Resort Article and Vintage photos:

Also today, my friend Jim Hill did a story about the Polynesian Resort featuring some of my vintage photos. I have always loved the Poly and have so many wonderful childhood memories of staying there!

Below I am seen enjoying the themed volcano slide and a rare view of the original pool during a rehab.

For more of my vintage Polynesian photos please click HERE. I also have available a Polynesian Resort Screensaver CD and a Polynesian Resort Experiences DVD. To learn even more about this wonderful resort, I recommend Tikiman’s Polynesian Resort pages. He really does a great job and I learned much I did not know about The Polynesian’s history from his site.

Photo Memories: Vintage Polynesian Village Resort Photos

By admin, on November 4th, 2008

Hi everyone!

To celebrate JWL Media’s new Polynesian Resort Screensaver CD and Polynesian Resort DVD, I am presenting these vintage images from my personal collection.

Below is a photo of my father (Walter Lange) studying the Polynesian Village Resort information guide. I love the vibrant 70’s room decor with all the green patterned designs! Next is a much younger Jeff posing with my Tiki friends.

The next two photos are from the original lobby. I will always remember the green and blue tile floors and comfortable wraparound chairs. The distinctive aroma that I’d encounter as a child is still the same to this day!

The original Polynesian Resort longhouses did not have colorful painted designs as the current ones do. Below right is the original pool. It featured a water slide which was only accessible by swimming through a waterfall. It was very exciting for me, as it was the first uniquely themed pool with a slide that I had ever encountered. As a child all I wanted to do was swim in this pool and go down the slide for hours and hours!
