Most likely my most beloved vista in a Disney Park; the Seven Seas Lagoon, and in particular, the view from Disney’s Polynesian Resort, is unmatched in the land of magical memories. Pardon me. I’ve shared these slices of paradise before, but I just can’t get enough!

No, I never did get to see the wave machine in operation! But I have seen the paddlewheel-powered steamships come and go, the introduction of the Resort Launches and the beachside luas moved to Luau Cove. For 42 years, just as Walt foresaw, the Seven Seas Lagoon has provided the perfect mystical setting and buffer to the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Aloha!
For a Disneyland person like myself, I LOVE seeing your Seven Seas Lagoon pictures through the years! I felt as though I'm a part of your trips and making my own memories! Thanks for taking me along!
Thank you Gayle! (Age does have its privileges!!) 😉
Oh my I LOVE the vintage pics!
I only wish my mom was a more avid photographer, but I'm happy for these few precious treasures!!
LOVE the vintage shots…we never got to go to WDW whenI was younger and its fun seeing what it looked like back in the day! Thanks so much!
Thanks Julie, I love my "Way Back" machine!
Thanks for sharing your awesome vintage shots and I love your video diary of all the memories of the Poly 🙂 especially the Mickey and Minnie wedding
Thanks Diane! I'm thinking buying into the Polynesian DVC would bring us full circle- don't you agree?? (I can't even imagine how much that will cost. Gulp.)
I have fond memories of swimming in that lagoon. I feel sort of privledged for having that experience.
That is so special Mary!! (MY mom only let us wade in below-the-knee, but I'm thankful for that memory.)
The lagoon is a great choice for letter L- beautiful shots!
Oh to be there with my piña colada right about now… Thanks KJ!
Love the look back at the Seven Seas Lagoon. So many happy memories! Would love to be sipping a Pina Colado right now too! What a perfect "L" for the theme! Thanks so much for sharing!
Let's get side-by-side lounge chairs Deb. Or would you prefer the hammock??! 😀
Love, love, love your photos Didi, they are fantastic!
Suz
Thanks Suz, for me they're better than gold!
So interesting to see the retro pics of the lagoon. I found some old pics of characters on water skis in the lagoon and I was amazed. I was too young to remember and I really wish I had seen it with my own eyes! Thanks for sharing these! They're great!
I know the photos you mean James, but I never witnessed that either. Wouldn't it be fun to bring that back? Disney suggestion box, please! 😀
LOVE the vintage shots! brings back good memories 🙂
As Walt said, if you don't appreciate the past…!
Jodi- Blogger is eating my precious comments again, but I wanted to acknowledge that 8 1/2 weeks feels like a Disney eternity!!
