The Pueblo Room (El Pueblo) was one of the original dining locations at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, opening in 1972- shortly after Walt Disney World’s opening in 1971. Known for its Southwestern-inspired atmosphere, the restaurant featured rustic décor that evoked the look and feel of a traditional pueblo, with warm earth tones and native art elements. The menu offered a mix of American and Southwestern cuisine, with popular dishes including steaks, seafood, and Tex-Mex options, making it a favorite spot for both hotel guests and visitors looking for a relaxed yet sophisticated dining experience.
Throughout its years of operation, The Pueblo Room became a beloved part of the Contemporary Resort’s early dining offerings, blending well with the hotel’s futuristic architecture while providing a cozy escape. The restaurant eventually closed, with its space repurposed for extra seating in the new Contemporary Café as Disney expanded and modernized its offerings. However, it remains fondly remembered by longtime Disney fans for its unique ambiance and as a symbol of the resort’s early days.
