A Balmy Saturday Morning Stroll At The Polynesian Resort

[@michaeltwardy7167]

Love the polynesian!!! What a great relaxing place with such calming music! Hope you enjoyed!!

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Good morning Michael! 😃 Thank you so much. I always love an early morning Polynesian Stroll! 🌸💜🌸

[@ccabus]

Have a great time at the concert the Foo Fighters are awesome

[@wdwexploreandchill]

They were so good! We caught Greta Van Fleet and Queens Of The Stone Age too but Foo was the main reason we were there and they were excellent!!!

I LOVE staying at the WL. ❤ I like to sit on my balcony in the morning and listen to all the sounds as the world wakes up. I like that I can hear the sounds of all the boat horns, the ferry, the train, the birds...... I can sit outside all day and just absorb it. It is very relaxing! I miss it!

[@wdwexploreandchill]

It’s such a mixture of sights and sounds that only exist there. 💜 That morning when I went to see Buck and Linda I should have been filming but I couldn’t get it just right so I decided to just enjoy it instead… sometimes that how it goes. 😉🌼

[@ccabus]

Good morning looking forward to another wonderful walking vlog.

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Thanks Clark! I hope you’re having a great morning so far! 😃

I love this video. I just got home from a week at the Polynesian resort and seeing the places we sat and spent time was so great. You could do a Polynesian video every week and I’d watch it over and over. Can’t wait to go back.

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to comment and I’m happy to bring a little bit of the Poly to you. 😃 A week there would be heaven and I could do a walk there every week as well…. it’s my Happy Place inside of my Happy Place. 😉

[@Daisy-cj3og]

LOVE these resort strolls! I could sit on a bench all afternoon and soak it in, then hop on a boat a ride around the lake for a few hours! As noisy as it can be, it is peaceful. Thanks V!

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Good morning Daisy! 🌼 I’m with you on that, even when things get nuts just being the quiet one taking it all in can be relaxing and that is especially true on property. The Seven Seas Lagoon is probably my favorite for just soaking in all of the activity with all of the boats and horns and the monorails… resort hopping there just to chill is the BEST.

[@pam863]

They are coming along with the New Poly resort. Kind of takes away from the Polynesian feel. Great stroll !!!

[@wdwexploreandchill]

I know Pam, I can’t wait for it to be finished!

[@deborah6791]

Is that walkway a new path they are creating or an old one ripped up back by the monorail? ❤

[@wdwexploreandchill]

@@deborah6791 Good morning Deborah! 😃 That is an old path that they are ripping up for some reason. It was also where the walkway to Shades of Green was and hopefully they will make another path there someday. I loved walking back there, especially at night!

[@deborah6791]

Hope! Love Shades of Green. ❤ Thank you!

Hey, how are you feeling? Linda said you were sick last week. I caught someone that day at Epcot and have gotten worse since. Obviously you're feeling ok because you created content this morning. I'm still a sick puppy. Btw, thank you for meeting us at Epcot. That was so muck fun and you made the day even better. You're a good egg V.

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Yesterday was the first day I could go out, I got sick immediately after too and thought I had a vicious stomach bug! I hope you are better soon Buck and I was so happy to spend the afternoon with you guys!!!! You feel like family now!!!! 💜

[@danielvandersall6756]

Still on the fence about the new DVC tower--today some pics of the planned interior dropped, and they look spectacular. Far from the usual bland corporate ugliness of most (Not all) DVC properties. So now cautiously optimistic. Maybe. I love this hotel--with a deep and undying love. I hope it never changes. Plain and simple.

[@wdwexploreandchill]

I’m with you Daniel and I’m hoping for the best. Those pics so look beautiful and it eased my fears a little. I haven’t ever stayed at the Poly but it sure feels like home to me. 😉

[@JenThePirate]

Hey V I needed a relaxing stroll while I packed.. hubby painting he said it’s better if I don’t help 😂🤣fine with me I got plenty to do

[@wdwexploreandchill]

I can relate… Chris is the better packer so most of the time I lay out what I need to take and then stay out of the way. 😂 Have fun keeping the chaos under control.

[@JenThePirate]

@@wdwexploreandchill it’s getting there! Scott has almost finished painting . We just need to spend a little bit of time between now and next Monday hiding things lol for when realtor shows the house

[@mikefischer9327]

Hiya V. So pleased to see that you’re up and about again ☺️. A morning stroll around the Poly is like a dose of good medicine. The weather in Florida in May is wonderful! This is a great way for me to pass the time at work 👍. Apparently the ugly condo is opening soon, so you’ll get your walkway back 😊. I hope the Foo Fighters were good fun!

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Hi there Mike! 😃 Thank you and you are right, it was good medicine! I could have easly made the walk twice as long if I had had the time. They released some art of what the inside of the tower will look like it and I like it, I mean I would rather it not have been built but at least it will be beautiful on the inside and I’ll have the walkway back. The Foo Fighters were excellent!!!!! We caught Greta Van Fleet and Queens Of The Stone Age right before because it was a festival but we were there for the Foo and they did not disappoint. I was super sore and horse from the singing and dancing but it was well worth it. 😃

[@mikefischer9327]

@@wdwexploreandchill That’s great to hear. Watching bands live is special. Glad you enjoyed it. We’ll see how the condo works out 🤷‍♀️

[@wdwexploreandchill]

@@mikefischer9327 It’s been so long since I’ve been out that I can’t decide where to go in the morning! Would you rather see the Seven Seas Lagoon or Crescent Lake for an early Sunday morning walk? Or even Coronado Springs or Port Orleans? See what I mean, too many choices! 😂

[@mikefischer9327]

@@wdwexploreandchill Um, well they all sound rather good 😌. Guess we’re spoilt for choice 🤷‍♀️

[@wdwexploreandchill]

@@mikefischer9327 That is very true! I try to spread them out so it doesn’t feel like I’m always going to the Poly but I’m pretty much starting over with the schedule right now and having choice paralysis. It’s a nice “problem” to have. 😉

[@scottkronenberg]

I love your early morning walks V. Everything is so nice & quiet, and new! It looked like another glorious day at the Poly. With the sun shining, the birds singing & the sound of horns coming from the water. One day, I would love to see a vlog from inside one of those bungalows 🤞. What’s this I’m reading from the comments; you got sick at EPCOT? 🌴🌞🐦📢🛖🤒❓🍿

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Hi Scott! 😃 Thank you, I’m glad that you loved it too. It was such a gorgeous morning and even though I had to make it a little shorter than usual it was so good to be there. The birds at the Poly especially make me happy in the mornings, although I was hoping to see the woodpecker again but maybe next time. Boy, both the bungalows and WL cabins are on my bucket list! I wouldn’t want to leave the room so I could soak up every minute of being there! 😂 Yeah, both Buck and I ended up sick somehow. We had such a great afternoon though around EPCOT but immediately afterwards it appears that we both a rough week. I just checked on him and he had to go the dr but the meds are working so hopefully he will be much better soon. Mine was more like a stomach bug that was brutal for a few days and then I had absolutely no energy for a few days… but I’m all good now thankfully. 🌸🎩🐦‍⬛🦋🌞⛴️🪄📿🍿

[@scottkronenberg]

I am happy to hear that you are on the mend V! 👏😃🍿

[@scottkronenberg]

Oh, by the way, how were the Foo’s? 🤔🎸🍿

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Thanks Scott! 🌈🌻🍿

[@wdwexploreandchill]

They were excellent as always! My absolute favorite band and my favorite to see live. The drummer that replaced Taylor Hawkins after he died (Josh Freese) is a legend in his own right and it was a great night. 🥁🎸🎤🍿💃🏻

[@justclpr]

This is too funny...I was watching a motivational walk around the Poly on another YT channel,😂 and I saw you on her vid during the walk. Had to watch this one too. Both great, can't get enough of the poly in the morning. She was the one on the Dock coming back just near the end of your video. Keep up the great work! love the videos.

[@wdwexploreandchill]

That is funny NWG! I have hers saved to watch later, I like their videos and they do all kinds which I think is cool. Someone complained on that video of hers about all of the talking and she directed them to videos that were more quiet because you simply can’t make everyone happy with every video and I can see how if you are on the treadmill or something that could help to have someone talking to you. Thank you for pointing that out to me. 🌸

[@janetwilber6377]

Thank you! This was a lovely little walk at the Poly. I've never had the opportunity to stay there but, hope to in the future!

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Hi Janet! 😃 It’s my dream to stay there too! I’m glad you enjoyed the walk, it was a gorgeous morning and I was so happy to be there. 🌸

[@danielvandersall6756]

7:00 not the best job of hiding those speakers... Song giving me a strong "Spongebob" vibe. 😁

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Ha! That made me laugh Daniel because I remember thinking almost the same thing! The Spongebob imagery is spot on. 😂

[@danielvandersall6756]

@@wdwexploreandchill love Spongebob.

[@DisneyPappy]

My wife has stayed at the Poly with work, but I never have. I’d like to one day, but I’ll want a room where I won’t be able to see the new DVC tower. I don’t think it belongs, and ruins the entire aesthetic.

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Hey Disney Pappy! 😃 I wouldn’t turn down a bungalow though! That would be so cool to be able to stay there for a work trip, I do a lot of remote there for sure but I’ve yet to actually stay.

[@cindyandkurt]

Sorry but the new dvc tower does not blend into the Poly themeing!!!!! The interior pictures just released remind me of a Marriot we stayed in just off I-4 !!!!!!!

[@wdwexploreandchill]

You are not alone in your opinions! 😉 I’m trying to make peace with the inevitable.

[@Daisy-cj3og]

That's because it was supposed to just be time for you.

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Exactly Daisy. 🌼
