We're back at "The World" today - Walt Disney World, that is! And instead of the usual shots of the Magic Kingdom, we're at the Polynesian Village Resort on the south shore of the Seven Seas Lagoon.
Name the seven seas! The Sea of Tranquility; the Sea of Love; the Adriatic Sea, the, um... er.... aaaa, who cares about those other crummy seas anyways? It's oceans that impress me.
Back in the 1970's, ads for WDW always showed people water skiing and sailing. There are plenty of outrigger sailboats for those with skills. I wouldn't have the faintest idea of what to do, except capsize.
Presumably even Florida gets chilly enough in December so that most people don't want to risk a dunking. Where are the speedboats? I want to be as noisy and obnoxious as possible. Vroom!
Not only were there sailboats, there are also a few very long canoes (kayaks?) along the wharf. And you could also rent a little Bob-A-Round Boat - unseaworthy little electric-powered pleasure craft beloved by many, except for those who were stranded in the middle of the bay when their battery ran out of juice. Some had to resort to cannibalism after two or three hours.
I know very little about the Polynesian Resort in its current state, but I'll bet it was tons of fun 30 or 40 years ago!
