Hello, travelers, welcome back to walk about the world, and greetings once again from Disney Springs. We are right at the base of the Lyme Garage escalator, right next to this lovely water feature. that's across from Uniclo. Slight breeze in the air. Beautiful clear blue skies. And if you breathe deeply with me, the smell of the polite pig is transporting us to porcine goodness.

It smells so good over here. Two palm trees blowing in the breeze framing this view of Disney Springs from the water feature. That's a nice place to be today. All right. So what's on me a month back. All right. So, what's on the agenda today? Absolutely nothing, walking, listening, seeing what we can see with our ears, wandering the Disney Springs, generally trying to forget about work and all the rest of the stuff that bugged us. Okay, come on, let's go.

Just makes you want to buy. Just makes you want to buy stuff, doesn't it? We are in view of the massive under Armour store. What else can I see from here? The Ranjan Surf Shop, Love Pop, Super Dry, Vineyard Vines, and in the far distance, the Springs Bottling Company, which, as we know, is Morimoto Asia, And Ormoto is celebrating an anniversary this week.

I should know what year, so I'm not going to say, but I don't know, so I'm not going to say that celebrating an anniversary. Not sure which part of the springs we're going to be touring today, but I just turned right here at Uniclo, and we're going to see where the path leads us. Trash can. All this area over here. Kind of looks like Spanish colonial.

The clay tiled roofs and all of that. All right, come on. wandering over Surf down Surf down for a So wandering over back by the polite pig

It's been on our list for a while. But it's fall time here, and the Halloween merch has been released, and World of Disney is the place to see it all. Let's wander over to the Daily Poutine because it's one of the best water features in the world. And I've just been joined by a Heather. Hi, Heather. Hi.

It is literally your creation in a wreath. And we're going to be scoping out some Halloween ornaments because some of the best Disney art these days are ornaments. Ooh, they have a new 31 days of Halloween countdown, Halloween Castle. This year is black and orange and kind of like an olive green. Love this color. Okay, looking at ornaments now.

They're always Mickey? I don't think so. I know that last year I think we got a Mickey, but I don't think we've seen the mini. Does the mini need to come home? Yes. So to be clear, this is a small, like slightly bigger than a candy apple size orange pumpkin,
