VIDEO: See What Was Inside a Time Capsule Buried in Disney World 25 Years Ago!

Disney World is currently celebrating its 50th Anniversary.

We’ve seen 50th Anniversary merchandise, snacks, and more. But, Magic Kingdom isn’t the only thing that opened in 1971. Disney’s Contemporary Resort opened on that day too and recently, Cast Members celebrated the 50th Anniversary in a way that was 25 years in the making!

25 years ago Cast Members at Disney’s Contemporary Resort did a unique thing — they buried a time capsule at the resort! The Cast Members placed a number of things in there to celebrate the anniversary of the Resort’s dedication.

The time capsule was buried in the ground in front of the flag poles at the Contemporary with a plaque that read: “To be opened at 50^th Anniversary, 10/25/2021. ‘Remember the Magic.’”

Well, October 25th, 2021 already took place and…the time capsule was opened! Some special Cast Members were selected to be the first to see what was inside the time capsule. A few of them are actually celebrating their 50-year service anniversaries during the 50th Anniversary of Disney World — how exciting!

Just what was inside? Well, there was a limited-edition 15th anniversary commemorative coin for Disney’s Contemporary Resort, name tags…

…an employee newspaper featuring the Cake Castle…

…and more!

If you’re wondering where these items will go now, they’ve been archived and kept safe for future generations to look back on.
