weekend in my life: tampa + disney world 🐭🎄🏰♥️🎢

Honey, I'm home. I just got home from the airport and I had the best greeting ever from my boy on a beautiful sunset out back. so special. I get so excited every time I get come home cuz he just he just doesn't know it's coming. I'm obsessed. This is Finley if you guys haven't met yet. Today is Wednesday, December 17th, and we are back home. Tomorrow we're going to Disney. I'm so excited. But yeah, I'm home for the holidays. The tree is looking beautiful as ever. I actually can smell Oh, and the that looks nice. Freddy, you want to say hi? >> Hello everybody. Merry Christmas. >> Merry, merry. I am doing something fun tonight. I am cooking dinner for my brother and my dad because I got HelloFresh sent to the house instead of sent to my apartment in New York. I was like, we should do HelloFresh. And oh my gosh, my dad already put it in the fridge. I'm so excited. I don't even know. >> There's another drawer. >> Where are the meals, guys? Does mozzarella herb and chicken or a loaded cantina beef and rice bar sound good? I'm in between these two. >> I thought Either one sounds me. Either one sounds good to you. So, I did it for four people. You can either do it for two or for four people. I did four people because there's three of us and there's also two boys, so I knew they'd want some food. I mean, two different vibes. They're both like so easy to make. Do you want to look at the photos? >> There are other options as well. I was just like leaning towards those. We've got a sweet and spicy chicken ramen. >> Oh, >> smoky brown sugar chicken salad and ricotta tomato ravioli with toasted panko. So, we've got some options. So, I'm seeing I'm seeing five options here. One for each day of the week. >> Yes. It's pretty great. And we didn't even have to get groceries. >> HelloFresh did it again. >> HelloFresh. We love him. Don't we? Yes. I give you some. >> We've decided on a meal. We are going to do this one. We're going to do the loaded cantina beef and rice bar, which I think is so fun because they have so many different options on HelloFresh. This video is sponsored by HelloFresh. Thank you so much, HelloFresh, for sponsoring this video. But I love it. This is like a build a plate one, which is perfect for like if you have a family or if it's like a few different people cuz it's fun to kind of just build your own plate. So, this is the one that we chose. I just feel like especially when I come home, you know, I'm here with a ton of boys. We're all kind of like what do we eat? So, I was like, when I come home, we're doing HelloFresh this time. Like, we don't have to go to the grocery store. We'll just have everything sent to us from HelloFresh and we get to make really delicious meals in so fast, too. like this one. It says 30 to 40 minutes, which is perfect. So, basically, you get sent a meal kit, which Freddy already got excited and started opening. So, we've got literally everything on here, and this card is like your lifeline. It has everything that's in your meal kit, and then also how to make it all. So, I'm just taking everything out. We've got the onions, the peppers, jasmine rice, literally everything. And then obviously we've got the ground beef, the cheese, the limes, sour cream, like seasoning, everything. And it's all like packaged perfectly for the size you need. You don't need to measure anything, which I love. I also feel like other meal kits, they have like 30 to 40 options. HelloFresh has over 100, so you don't get burnt out by the options. Like you always are going to see something that you really like and want. You can also swap meals. You can pause. You can skip if you're traveling. Like it's very customizable to you. There's nothing you have to like commit to. So, without further ado, let's get to cooking.

We We could bring our HelloFresh to Disney, honestly. All right, you guys. Well, I literally kind of just got here, but we were all hungry, so we got right into it. But my room is a mess, right? Not a mess, but it just has lots of presents in there that I shipped here. I got to unbox those things. I got to unzip the suitcase. I got to like pack a I didn't bring a smaller suitcase for Disney. We're going to Disney tomorrow. >> We have duffles and things. Um, I'm in Florida. Hello you guys. It is the next day and we're about to head to Orlando. It's like a 2 and 1 half 2ish hour drive. So, I'm really excited. Obviously, I wasn't going to bring these large suitcases with me. So, I found one of my old suitcases downstairs. Actually, packed that for the weekend. We're just going for two nights. And I have this awesome Mickey tote bag. So, I put all like my toiletries and stuff in there. It's kind of like a vibe. Dare I say Disney's aesthetic. Um, but yeah, we're about to head out. This is so going to Disney as a kid core. Like, I'm in the back seat. We got Chick-fil-A for lunch. And yeah, we're 15 minutes away. I don't think I said it in this vlog, but like if you know, you know. Been we've grown up going to Disney's Fort Wilderness since we were kids when we haven't done it the last like honestly since we've gotten Finley. We like haven't wanted to leave him during the holidays. But he's 5 years old now. He's got some people that love Finley. So, he's going to have a sleepover. And the whole f we are all going to Disney. And I'm so excited. It's just me, my dad, and my brother in the car right now. But we are going to Disney Wilderness, which they have a lodge, but we like to stay in the log cabin. And you get a golf cart. You can drive around and there's a ferry boat that takes you to Magic Kingdom, which is so fun and like magical along this lake. Like just such good memories. Like I don't think enough people know about four wilderness. It's really, especially during this time of year, it's so special. Okay, so you took this exit and now what did I say? Oh, Fort Wilderness Campground. Yeah, cuz there's Fort Wilderness Lodge. Okay, you're following International Airport, Sanford. Yeah, this it has you going on a loop-de-loop. So towards Disney World to towards the right here. So yeah, there's campsites so you can bring your campers or they also have the log cabins. So that's what we do. And I'm so excited to take you guys along. But we are so close. And they just redid the cabins, which bittersweet about because I like love the log cabins and like love the smell of them and how like rustic they were. And from what I've seen online, they've definitely been modernized, which funny. You would think I'd be like so obsessed with that, but that's like I do love the nostalgia of these cabins. So, I'm curious to see what they look like. And I will give you guys a tour, of course. But oh, there's the hidden Mickey phone booth. Dad, don't look because it's over there. But we always would count the hidden Mickey's on our way. Can you guys see that? You can't even You guys can't even see. It's too far. But it's like a telephone pole with Mickey ears. Oh my gosh. We're totally getting close. I like totally know where we are right now. Ah, I haven't been here in so long. >> Wilderness. >> Fort Wilderness, here we come. Okay, we just got to our cabin. We got our golf cart. Got the key. Okay, this still reminds me of the old cabins. Ah, so cute. Oh my god. Okay, it definitely doesn't have the smell unfortunately. Welcome Carolyn family. How cute guys. So, this is a Murphy bed that we will be utilizing. My mom and her boyfriend are in route. Yep, we are a very modern family. All of us are sleeping in this cabin. So that is going to pull down. This is giving like my NYC apartment. This is so bougie. Oh, wait. Huge for the program. There are two bathroom or two sinks that will play. I was a little worried about the one bathroom situation, but that's really nice. I love this lighting. Some good storage here. This is sick. I mean, that's that's beautiful. And then we want Okay. Ph few. They have a curig. We brought our curig pods. This is cool. You can either do a pot or the pods, a toaster, table, all the things. And then this is where my dad, my brother, and me will be. Oh, this reminds me so much of the old cabins. Freddy and I are literally bunk mates. I can't. How cute. I'm so excited. This is so special. Guys, look at this. Hey, Disney. What time does Magic Kingdom close tomorrow? On December 19th, 2025, Magic Kingdom Park has early entry starting at 7:30 a.m. >> Okay, so tonight's plan is we're going to go to Disney Springs. I'm so excited cuz we're here for two nights. So, we're going to get a lot in. Tomorrow, we're doing Magic Kingdom and Epcot. And then Saturday, we're going to Hollywood Studios. I've only been to Hollywood Studios, literally when it used to be called MGM Studios years ago. Like, I don't even really remember it. So, I'm really excited. I'm not really in the mood to wear makeup and like with the fam, you know, so it's fine. I just pulled my hair back. I switched fleces, guys. I'm so on brand. I brought my Minnie Mouse hairbrush. How perfect. So, that's that. I also condensed all of my toiletries into this big old bag. Not my makeup. That's a separate bag just because there's going to be a lot of us sharing this bathroom. So, I figured that would be thoughtful of me. Anyh who, a little bit more deodorant cuz why not? I'm really excited. And I really I not that I love the food, but like I would love to go to Rainforest Cafe for dinner tonight because nostalgia. And I wonder if I'd still get as excited as I used to be when I was there. We've made it to Downtown Disney, or sorry, they call it Disney Springs now. So, we're walking around right now and like we don't recognize any of this. This feels literally brand new. And there's so many nice restaurants. Like honestly, I don't know if we'll end up eating at Rainforest Cafe. But I told him I was like, I'd love to just walk into Rainforest Cafe and just feel the feeling cuz there are some really good options. It's very crowded. Guys, this has been here forever. That is made out of Legos. It's right in front of the Lego store. There she is, guys. There's literally fake fog. So, it's a really long wait, naturally, so I'm just taking it all in right now. I love it here. Today Good morning. Wa. Good morning. >> What's he doing out there? Vlogging. >> Hey, I have my elephant ears in. Guys, I hit 300,000 followers on Instagram. >> Overnight. >> Overnight. I'm an overnight sensation. Oh my god. Okay, we have gotten ready for the day. We're all getting ready to go to the breakfast buffet. It's so good. All I want are Mickey waffles. If you guys watched my Disney cruise vlog, you know, like I just wake up and want Disney or Mickey waffles. I'm literally struggling so hard with the hair because it's humid here and usually when we come around this time of year, it's cold. So, I only packed like cold weather outfits, but this is really thin. And I did wear a t-shirt under it so I can layer, but like this is kind of the outfit like you know. And then tomorrow I'm wearing the Mickey jeans, but should I be switching up my outfits? No. No. I feel good. I think tomorrow the Mickey jeans. I think that makes sense. Anyways, wearing this like windbreaker situation from Revolve. Lululemon belt bag. And how cute is this little Disney claw clip that I got. Just some leggings and sneakers cuz today's like our, you know, we're doing two parks. We're walking around a lot. And I've packed everything I could possibly need in here. Sunglasses. My sunglasses keep kind of like popping up with the ears. Okay, I think I fixed it. But yeah, I actually didn't sleep that great last night. What a bum. What a bummer. But it is so peaceful here. Oh, and I hit 30 Oh, I already said that. I hit 300,000 followers this morning. So, very excited about that. So, yeah, we're going to get breakfast and then we take a boat ferry to Magic Kingdom and then from Magic Kingdom once we're done with Magic Kingdom because we have park hopper passes. Oh, we'll take the Montreal from Magic Kingdom to Epcot. And then when we're done at Epcot, we'll take the Montreal back to Magic Kingdom and that's where you get on the ferry to come back here to Fort Wilderness. So, lots to be done, but I feel so grateful that we're able to do this again. Everyone's so happy to be here. like the fam. I'm literally here with my divorced parents all in one cabin. So funny. But we make I mean we're having so much fun. We're all We're all besties and it's great and I'm very grateful for that that we can continue these traditions. So this is our hot ride. We I took some clips last night, but we took the golf cart for a spin last night and looked at all the lights in front of all the RVs and stuff and they're so cool. But yeah, this is how we get around and it's very fun. >> Everybody ready? >> Hey, peaceful Michelle has entered the chat. I do that. We came to Starbucks, which I don't think I've ever gotten Starbucks Magic Kingdom before, cuz it's honestly hidden. You have to look for it. Also, my skin looks amazing in here, but Friday night needed some coffee. >> Coffee. Coffee. It's >> a very efficient Starbucks. I was a little intimidated because there's a lot of people waiting, but there was no line. I'm so happy. No, I'm so upset. Was that yours was like our ride? >> Oh, I'm so sad. All right, the first ride of >> I'm so excited. We're about to ride Tron. We have Lightning Lane. It's like 50-minute wait. I'm honestly nervous. I like I've ridden all the rides at Disney. This one's new. How dare. Oh my god, that was so fast. Wo. I actually loved it. I wish it was a little longer. Like I thought there was going to be one more final like But it's really cool. You're sitting like like you're on a motorcycle. You're like lean forward. I really enjoyed those. All right, now we're going to do Haunted Mansion, which honestly scares the living poop out of me, but it's also fun. Now we're riding Pirates of the Caribbean. Do you guys say Caribbean or Caribbean? What do you say, Dad? >> Caribbean. >> Caribbean. Also, do you have something to say to the vlog? >> Hi, girls. >> It's been a minute. We're headed to Epcot. Yeah, I know. We have arrived. Well, we already arrived a while ago. We rode Spaceship Earth and now we are headed to the World Showcase. We're going to get tacos and like beer in Mexico. We'll go to that after. >> I want to I want to go to Japan and Mexico for food. So, you know, guys out there, look, I love Daniel so much and I love all of her fans even more. But through all of that, thinking her seafood habits are so bad. Like, she's not in >> my family hates that I don't like. Wait, but I want to go to Japan. I want to go to Japan. I just want to get tacos. >> I just want to know like, do your subscribers and fans like, do you guys like sushi? And if so, >> my family hates me for my seafood. >> My husband Danielle just figured out we're going to Mexico right now in Epcot. And like it's like, wo, >> it's so fun. But like at the end of the day, we get Mexican food all the time. >> We are going to also go to Japan. We're going to hit so many countries in one night. >> We are now in England. We're doing a full tour of all the countries. We are now in Morocco. Got a beer in Japan. We're walking around. This store is so cool. I need to know, were any of you around for my Domo phase? This is where I would get my Domo items. I wonder if they still have Domo. >> It was $34 >> to get a pearl. Little pearl. >> So cool. This is getting me really excited for my Japan trip. I'm really intrigued by these Japanese sodas, but you can't drink them here. You got to leave the park. Is this grape? Okay. Well, when I go to Japan, I hope they have these. Guys, how cool is this? I thought it was like face wipes. It's They're little face masks. You just pull one out. Freddy, if I bought it, could I put it in your bag? >> There's nothing in this world that I would not want to >> Oh my god. Lowkey weird. I love the smell of these Disney bags. >> I just love the look. >> I know. It's like It reminds me of like when we were little and we'd be excited to get something at the Disney store. Heat. Heat. N. And that's a wrap for day one. We did it, fam. 20,000 steps later, I just took a shower. We're watching college football and we're going to go to bed. But today was so fun. We did so much. And I got to say the lightning lane, those fast passes, like that helped us. We definitely wouldn't have been able to do everything at both parks that we wanted without it. The only thing we didn't get to ride that I really wanted to ride was Test Track, but it's just always such a long line and we used like our premium fast pass on something else. So, I'm switching bunks with Freddy tonight. I just I pee a lot. Not really in the middle of the night, but like right before I'm about to go to bed, I literally pee twice and then as soon as I wake up in the morning, like it's just better. So, we literally don't even have sheets. It's like these like sleeping bag things. That's new. Um, but yeah. So, I switched to the bottom. We've got Disney's Hollywood Studios tomorrow. I'm so excited. I'll see you guys in the morning. Good morning. It is Saturday morning and I'm so excited because we've been doing research all morning on Disney's Hollywood Studios. Hello, Dad. You can come in. I'm really really excited because it looks like there's just I mean basically we're going as if we've never been before because we don't remember anything. It's looking like there's a ride called Rides of the Resistance that's really fun. I really want to do Rock and Roller Coaster. I'm not a Tower of Terror girly. Like there's just no way. I don't My least favorite part of a roller coaster is when your stomach drops. And I think that's literally all of what Tower of Terror is. And there was one other Oh, Slinky's Dog Dash or something. And Toy Story World looks fun. I also I don't think we'll do this, but I saw there's a Toy Story restaurant where when you're eating and if Andy comes, then you have to freeze until he leaves, which I obsessed. I love a bit. So, I don't know. Maybe we'll end up there, but I doubt it because we aren't sleeping in Disney. We're not sleeping here tonight. We're checking out. So, we're packing up. Also getting ready for the day and then we'll drive back home after. So, we've never done We haven't done three parks in so long on these trips. So, it's also a little bit chillier out today. So, I'm like warm up. It will warm up. But also, I have this Mickey jacket that's really cute. I am going to wear my Mickey jeans today. They're making their debut, which I'm really excited about. Like, how stinking cute. They're from the Gap X Disney collab. I don't think it exists anymore. I think that was like limited edition, limited time. Or I also have this Mickey sweater from the Gap collab. So, and I think I'm going to wear my hair up today. And that's that. Okay. I'm going to wear this white Skims long sleeve. And then look you guys. How cute is that? I'm just trying to decide if I should do ponytail. The plan was a bun like my ballerina buns I've been doing with this. I don't know. The ponytail is kind of perky and cute today, so why ruin a good thing? And I feel like the ponytail will be easier to manage after like roller coasters and stuff. Yeah, maybe pony. Okay, I'm going to do my makeup so fast cuz everyone's like kind of ready. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we've got the pony. Makeup is done. My family wants to film me cuz everyone's ready. Here is the final fit. Wearing sneakers. I was going to wear my Uggs, but I was like, we walked so much yesterday. There's no way. Let's go to Hollywood Studio. Just dropped off the golf cart. Sad. I freaking love driving the golf cart. I popped this jacket on for now cuz it's still a little cold out and I'm not going to wear it to the park. Like, how cute. And we've stopped at Fort Wilderness Lodge, which is a hotel. And they have really good breakfast here. The the servers are kind of I don't want to say mean to you. It's like a whole bit. Like I remember I came here with Ryan a couple years ago and he asked for I think it was either ketchup or hot sauce and they just go and get all of the ketchups and bring them to your table and then the next time someone else needs ketchup they take them all from your table. They just like or they'll be like this guy wants his eggs medium. So, it's very silly, but we couldn't get a hold of them. We don't know if we can get a reservation. So, this is definitely a journey. We don't really have a plan B. And it's already 10:30. Or is it 11:30? I don't know. But we got to go. Wow, it's magical. Okay, let's see. I told you it's a vibe. So, it was a 2-hour wait, but there's a place called Roaring Forks or something, and I've eaten there before. It's like a little market, so we can get breakfast sandwiches. And it's actually probably for the best because, you know, then we won't do a whole sit down thing. We can get breakfast sandwiches and we can go Freddy's sad. Freddy and I just ate breakfast and Oh, it's a little geyser. >> Fake geyser. >> A fake geyser. That's cute. Freddy and I are doing a little post breakfast walk while the parents sit a little bit longer and finish their food. We're kind of like vibing with the lodge more than the cabins this year. I don't know. Maybe next time we'll stay here. So far already loving the vibes. They're playing Christmas music. So far Christmas. Okay, here's the deal. We just talked to someone that works here. Shout out Emma. And we were like, what do we got to know? What do we got to do? These are our, you know, we don't like Tower of Terror. We're not into that. One person, my mom, doesn't ride roller coasters, so she gave us some good options. I think we're going to first go to Rise of Resistance. Sounds really fun there. She said there's like one little drop, but like other than that, we good. It's so fun. I don't like it's been so long since I've been to Disney and like been like not done something. Well, I guess Tron yesterday, but it's very fun for all of us. Entering Star Wars. I'm so confused. We like got on a ride and now we're taking photos. Okay, I think the ride continues now. How do we feel? Woo! I did it. I did the drop. >> Honestly, she told us there was like a 5second drop, but like really it was 2 seconds and like she didn't even need to tell us about it long. >> It was so great. >> I was nervous the whole time cuz I hadn't ridden it before, so I'm like But it was very modern, very well done. >> Yes. And if you really like Star Wars, I feel like you would really like that. This is insane. Oh my gosh. We're now in line for Smugglers Run. Smugglers Run was so fun. I liked that better than the resistance one. Actually, Freddy and I were the pilots, which was fun. A Star Wars themed Dani. Buzz Lightyear means a lot to our family. Like Freddy would always wear Buzz Lightyear pajamas. I dress up like Woody. So, this is very exciting for us. Even the bathrooms are cute. Yeah, we have we have fast passes to use. >> I'm turning into an amusement park reviewer today, but I have never been to any of these rides. That was so much fun. My mom screams she wasn't vibing so hard with that. That was so fun though. Okay, now I'm really excited cuz we found out there is an ERA's Tour exhibit at Hollywood Studios with some of her costumes. So, we're going to go. Guys, Ryan and I literally just watched the Santa Claus movie and they have the outfits. Bernard's outfit, Mrs. Claus's. This is so cool. And all the the snow globe, Lucy's snow globe, the naughty or nice. Oh my gosh, the business card, the claws. Wow. I like Oh, and the watch. The magic watch. My gosh. My first time. This is going to be our last ride of the day. >> Woohoo. You excited, Freddy? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That was amazing. >> That was cool. >> It goes so fast in the beginning. It's like I need to see the photo of us. Freddy, did you like Tron or that better? Tough question. This one drawn was better, but this had a nice atmosphere to it. >> This had a nice atmosphere and it was longer. Oh my god, that was so fun. Just Freddy and I did it that time. >> Kids ride. >> Kids ride. Now we find the parents. Wow, that was so I'm fired up. And that is a wrap for Hollywood Studios. That was so fun. Immediately came to lay in grass. That was a really fun two days, but I am wiped. Wiped. And Debbie is landing from the airport very shortly. And I think we're going to go see Housemaid tonight because I am dying to see it. And like tonight's our really only free night. So feels so good to just lay in the glass. I have made a nice latte and Debbie is arriving any minute now. And we're going to go to the movies tonight and then the week begins. So I love you guys so much.
