Hello and welcome back to Walk About the World, Holiday Travelers. Right? Heather's with me. Hi, Heather. Hi, everybody. For those of you that are frequent visitors to the Polynesian Resort, you'll know where we are. This spot, I have to admit, is new to me and is the best place on planet Earth. Period. You cannot argue this.

So where we are, we've come down from the lobby to the water. We've turned right. We've went along the trail. And then there's a trail leading up to a little hill. And this hill, I'm guessing, is a fireworks viewing area. But setting the scene for you, the longhouses are behind us. In front of us, well, there you hear a ferry. In front of us is all of the Seven Seas Lagoon. There's another ferry. So you're at the top of a little hill, palm trees all around you,

grass in front. All of the scene in front of you is all the Seven Seas Lagoon. You can see the Polynesian bungalows ahead of you. To your left is the Grand Flow. To your right is the Contemporary. Directly in front of you is a very clear view of the castle. The ferries are coming and going to the left and the right. Water is lapping on the castle. The fairies are coming and going to the left and the right. Water is lapping on the shore. And you have Christmas music of the islands playing

right by your bench. And so this little episode is just literally to bring a little bit of how much literal happiness this little spot has brought us today to you. Wherever you are, we hope you're well. And please enjoy about 20 minutes of Polynesian goodness. Happy holidays. and see and smile The cakeys are laughing and having such fun
