Disney Day 2 Vlog 🎀 Art of Animation Pool + Skyliner Ride + Narcoossee’s Dinner at Grand Floridian

In this vlog, Natalie Barnes documents the second day of a Disney vacation celebrating her daughter Arabella’s birthday. The day begins with a chilly pool session at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, where the family—Natalie, her mom, and children Arabella (4), Kenzie, and Arie—play in the splash pad, enjoy snacks, and interact with new toys. After the pool, they ride the Disney Skyliner, explore the Pop Century Resort’s food court, and shop for a specific hoodie. Evening culminates with dinner at Narcoossee’s in the Grand Floridian, where the family enjoys a multi‑course meal (steak, mac & cheese, Korean‑style glazed salmon, Brussels sprouts, banana‑bread‑with‑chocolate ice cream) and sings “Happy Birthday” to Arabella. Natalie reflects on the challenges of vlogging at a busy pool, shares future plans (Magic Kingdom visit, Cake Bake Shop lunch, potential Mother’s Day stay), and wraps up the day with bedtime routines. Throughout, she emphasizes her identity as a “Disney mom” and real‑estate agent, encourages viewers to like, comment, and subscribe, and provides candid, informal commentary on the day’s experiences.
Chapters
Heading down to the pool. Wave! Wow! Hey, no secrets! Wow! Hey guys, what's up? It's Natalie. Welcome to, or welcome back to, my YouTube video. If you haven't already seen day 1 of our Disney trip for Arabella's birthday, if you've seen that. This is day 2. Today is Saturday, so we are gonna go in the pool. Um, it's currently 66 degrees out, and if you're a Floridian, you know that's freezing. Um, so that might be short-lived, but the kids want to go, so that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do pool for a little bit. I might get a drink, and then we might come back to the room depending on how cold it actually is. How cold it actually is. And then do Skyliner possibly. I don't really know, um, but I think this is going to be very short of a pool day. I don't know, high is supposed to be like 88, so that's what we have. We have no lunch reservations. We, um, canceled our Cake Bake Shop, um, reservation because we thought we were going to do pool all day. So the only thing we have tonight is Narcosis, my favorite restaurant at the Grand Floridian. We had 1900 Park Fair last night and the characters were amazing. The food was so good, we were so full. Today I'm actually wearing just like a one-piece bathing suit. I like never wear a one-piece bathing suit, but I knew we were gonna eat a lot, and plus Sam's family came yesterday, so I didn't want to be like in a small bikini or anything. So that's our plan today, we're doing a chill day. We're very excited, so come along with us. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe. And if you've never seen me, I'm a Disney mom, I'm I'm a mom to a 4-year-old. I'm a real estate agent, and we go to Disney a lot.

No. What do you want to do? Okay, go! Go do Skyliner. I had my Diet Coke, but we are just chilling out. And I washed my hair and showered because I felt disgusting from the pool. So we have, I think, at 5 o'clock our cruise. So we'll leave, um, our hotel around like 4:30-ish just to get there. It's been a couple more hours. But I love this hotel. Whoa, whoa, it's hot!

Oh, we are in the booth and Arabella's on her iPad. Perfect view of the castle. I don't think anyone can see it though. I don't think anyone can see it. Forgot to film what I got for dinner, but I got the kids chicken with mac and cheese, and then Arabella and Kenzie got kids steak with pasta. Oh my steak! Arabella's currently sleeping. This is the leftovers. Sam got Korean barbecue salmon glazed, or Korean barbecue glazed salmon, and then, uh, Brussels sprouts, little dessert, and a salad before. Maybe Maybe. I hate filming in Disney because I always forget to film. I feel like what we do is pretty boring most of the time. Mac and cheese is so good. Do you want to take that one? Arabella's sleeping, but we're still gonna sing happy birthday to her. Sing it! Happy birthday to Arabella! Happy birthday to Arabella. Happy birthday to Arabella. Happy birthday to you. Yay!

I feel like these like little tiny nuts are like cinnamon. Chocolate. Wanna try it? I love bread pudding. What? I love bread pudding. I know you do. I think because it has bread. Oh my, my ears already itch. Imagine if I'm like addicted to gluten. That would be crazy. How is it? Oh, how is it? Like this. Oh, what does it taste like? Oh, okay. Oh, how's that? How is it? How is it? Tastes like strawberries. Tastes like strawberries. How is it? Good. Run, Kenny, run! How was dinner? Good. Good. Show them your face. It's not completely cleaned up. Never is. We are all done now. We're heading back to the room. Done! Show me what you got. Whoa, Kenzie got one Wow, so these bubble machines have music, aerial music, and they light up. Oh, they're too fast. We're gonna head to Pop Century now because I'm so cold. Sam just left, but we're heading to Pop Century now because the, um, store didn't have really good hoodies. Girl, I Um, so I'm gonna go get a hoodie, hopefully at Pop Century. Oh, it's cold out and they want to do pool. Are we doing pool? Yeah. Okay, so let's go get the hoodie and then go to the pool. We're looking for a specific hoodie and I've already found it. So cute! How cute is that? I love it. Or there's this one. Man, I like don't know which one, but I'm scared this looks like a little too like Valentine's Day-y, but I don't know, it's like, do I really wear stripes. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Like, this looks so vintage to me. This or this? I don't know. I ended up getting the blue one because it is so cute and it looks so vintage. But the pink one I really do love. I'm just scared I'm not going to wear it as much, so we chose the blue one. The girls got— show what you got. Cheez-Its, lollipops, lollipops. What'd you get? Got that and lollipops. This is the one I got. Oh, my camera, I don't think it— yeah, this is the one I got. Super happy with it, super warm. I'm freezing, but now we're heading back to the room. This is what I chose, much better visual. We are back at the room. Everyone's gonna eat some dinner, we're gonna get in our PJs, and then we're gonna go to bed. Yeah, what'd you say? You want to do your iPad for a little bit? Girl, your hair is so crazy. Say eating dinner. Aries, say eating dinner. I'm eating dinner. Say good night, everyone. We just finished packing up the whole room for me and Arabella, and then my mom's gonna do Kenzie tomorrow morning because it is like 9 o'clock, I think. But I'm gonna take off my lashes and my makeup because I obviously don't sleep with that on. But today was really, really fun. I didn't get a lot of clips because we were down at the pool. Oh, Sam's probably texting me. But yeah, no, I didn't film a lot because we were at the pool all day, and I feel kind of weird like vlogging at the pool because there's other kids obviously in bathing suits. I would never want to like— I don't know, I feel like I'm very weird. Like when people film around Arabella, I'm like, oh God. But yeah, today was really fun. The weather was pretty nice, no clouds in the sky. It was really pretty out. I mean, it was sometimes cold, but, but tomorrow we were gonna go to Magic Kingdom, but I think the girls just want to do the pool again. So this whole weekend we've just been doing pool, and I mean, that's fine. We haven't really been doing lunches anywhere either, but I think we're going to do lunch at Cake Bake Shop tomorrow. I'm like so tired I can't even take off my eyelashes. And if this is freaking anyone out, I apologize, but I literally do this anytime I wear eyelashes cuz I cannot sleep with eyelashes on. But yeah, we have Cake Bake tomorrow at like 1:30, 2. I think we made it for 2 because the kids are super hard to get out of the pool. They love this pool. We were talking about Mother's Day and where we want to stay for Mother's Day. I feel like Arabella and Kenzie are at such a good age that like this pool can occupy them all day, so we might do that for— we might do that for, um, Mother's Day. We just don't know. And then of course we're gonna do. So in the morning we're gonna do pool. I don't really think they're gonna go to the food court. I hate food courts in the morning. It's like my pet peeve at any hotel is food court in the morning unless they have a Starbucks. Oh, it feels so good. And they don't have Starbucks here, obviously. So yeah, anyways, I'm ending the vlog here. I look crazy, but I'm ending the vlog out. I'm ending the day in the vlog probably. I don't know if I'm gonna film tomorrow. Um, here. So thank you guys so much for watching, and I will see you guys in our next video. Bye guys! Hold on, Arabella wants to say bye. I'm going to fall asleep with Mama. I'm watching Caillou. She's watching Caillou. She loves Caillou. And are you ready for tomorrow? Do you want to vlog tomorrow? Okay, say bye guys! We're finishing day 2. Say finishing day 2. Finishing day 2. See you in the next vlog. See you in the next vlog. Bye, bloggers.
