In this family travel vlog, Natalie Barnes takes viewers through a full day at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT and the Grand Floridian Resort. The morning begins with a 9 a.m. reservation for the Parisian‑style brunch in the France pavilion, a pay‑by‑person experience that includes bottomless mimosas, assorted pastries, ham, cheese, fruit, and chocolate croissants. Natalie navigates a long line, tries to fit her daughter Arabella into the reservation, and comments on the uniform table settings. After brunch, the family checks Arabella’s height for Soarin’ (she’s just under the 40‑inch requirement) and instead enjoys Nemo, Turtle Talk with Crush, and other attractions. They explore the final weekend of the Food & Wine Festival, sampling tacos at the Mexican pavilion, visiting the Creations shop for clothing and accessories, and getting a rainbow face‑paint. The afternoon ends with a nap for Arabella, a drive to the Grand Floridian Resort where Natalie’s mother has booked a night, and a quick tour of the newly opened bar. Natalie samples an iced tea, a Floridian cocktail, and a king‑crab dish while noting the bar’s décor and carpet. The vlog wraps up with farewells and a reminder of the day’s highlights.

Literally dead. This is the line. Thank you. Mimosa. Hey you guys, welcome to, or welcome back to, my YouTube channel. Today we are in Epcot. We are doing the Parisian brunch in France. What's the name of it, with my mom and Arabella. Parisian something. But we have a 9 o'clock reservation. We're one of the first in the parks right now. It's all decorated Christmas with the big tree, but we are trying to hurry because we have a reservation at 9 and we're all the way in the front of Epcot by Canada. So this is the last week of Food and Wine also, so I think we're gonna do that as well today. Come along with us and see how this brunch is. The soup. So peaceful in the morning, isn't it? I want to do that kids' tot fun spot too. This brunch is a pay-by-person brunch and you have to have a reservation for it or else you can't get in. My mom only got us 2 people for this reservation, so we're gonna try and get Arabella in. And they only do it for food and wine, and if we can't can't get her in. I don't know, what are we going to do? I guess we'll go on Soarin' and hope she's 40 inches. Yeah, cuz she's 39 point— like, but hopefully we'll get in because it's bottomless mimosa. Yeah, so, and we've never done it before, so hopefully it's good and it's new. And there's a lot of people for coffee. I could use a coffee. So this is the line, and our reservation's at 9, and it's 9:00 right now, so hopefully I don't know, hopefully they let us in. Show everyone your new outfit. Here, can I take this so everyone can see your outfit? Maybe do a cute little spin. Cute. Who do you have with you? What? Lucy. Can I see her? Cute little bunny. Come on, let's see your outfit. Wow, osh gosh, love it. Maybe, maybe do a spin. I like your boots. Let's see your boots. B for Barnes. Wow, who got you your boots? Lovey. Lovey, you excited to eat? Okay, let's go. They just gave us a mimosa. That's what it looks like inside. Okay, so they have like a lot and it was kind of hectic, but these— all these tables are exactly the same. My mom's right over there, but I got smoked ham, I got loaf of bread, little cut of bread. This is a chocolate croissant, then this is a ham and cheese croissant, I believe. And then for Arabella, I got her fruit, ham, and then I don't really know what this is. It does look good though. You got watermelon and what else? Did you get some blueberries? Are you drinking? What did you get? No. So this little quiche, bread, cheese, ham, and fruit. Yum. And I don't really like gallettes. It's not good, Nana. It's not good? You got to break it and eat it. It's a pastry. You help? Do you want help? I got butter if you want to— chocolate roll with butter. Chocolate, chocolate. Chocolate. Yes, please. Yes. What are you eating, ma'am? My ham. You want a napkin? Here. Stop eating my ham. Sister Sally, you want more fruit? Yeah, fruit and ham. Chew that up. That was a lot of ham in your mouth. What do you think? Did you like it? You like the brunch? I thought it was okay. Now what are we going to do? I can't hear you. You want to go do Princess Aurora? Let's go get in line. Okay, come on. What do you think of brunch? Loved it. You did? Yeah. Arie, what'd you think? You liked it? No. Breads, cheeses, meats, pastries. We're gonna see if Arabella's tall enough to do Soarin'. Are you excited? Yeah, let's go. You ready? Let's see if we can do it. Let's see if Arabella is tall enough. 35-minute wait. Were you tall enough? Nope, not yet. We're gonna go try Nemo, right? There. Is this a scary ride? What? No. Is it fun? You sit with me and lovey. Watch your step. Go, baby. Thank you. Come on, baby. Jellyfish, right? Okay, now I'm making it so we're doing Turtle Talk with Crush. Come back and say hello! You can teach them something like speak whale. Destiny can teach them, she taught me. We just got off Crush. What'd you think? Good. You liked it? Now I think we're just gonna do the countries and eat some more food. It's one of the last weekends of Food and Wine, so we're gonna try out the yummy food. I think I might go into Creations and get a t-shirt because it's getting really hot out and this is all I brought, so we're definitely gonna need a change, huh? How's your lollipop? Good. What flavor is it? Blueberry. Blueberry? Yummy. Who got you it? Mommy. Mommy. Look how cute. This is. And look at the back. Oh, so cute! And then they have this. There's nothing on the back. I'm getting— I'm getting this one, and then my mom's getting me this one too. It's all pink. And then look at the back. Oh, cute! Okay, so we're getting this for my niece and my daughter. Oh, you already got it? Oh, just kidding, just for Arabella. This is what she's gonna wear to her Christmas party, the Mickey's Christmas party, with some leggings and probably a white shirt. Super cute. Trying to decide. So cute. I feel like those are more Christmas. I might wear those today, actually. Let's do those. Yeah, they're super cute. Yeah, and Natalie, they even go with those. Like, look, very cute. They go with everything. They do. Those are more like spring. What is Lovey getting you? I want that one. Do you want to get ears instead? No. Now we're going to do some food and wine booths. Sarah Belle is playing with her toy, playing with— and it is crowded. We're stopping at the Taco Mexican Pavilion. La Cantina, cuz I really want some tacos. And this is what this all looks like. It is busy. That sounds good. I got some tacos with chicken and then the chipotle hot sauce, rice, and beans. So we're doing face painting again, and I think she wants to do this one, the rainbow one. So that's what we're doing. Air, what kind are you doing? Rainbow. Rainbow. Ready, Air? All right, can you close your eyes for me? Oh, here it comes! You ready? There it comes! Look! Okay, say bye! Ciao! Bye-bye! We're in Italy. My mom's getting some wine. Arabella's just sitting there. Let me see your face. Looking good. Way better. Just keep coming in to the left. The line for all the booths are so long. Arabella is currently sleeping. We just did our snooze, but she is out like a light bulb. We're currently walking back to our car. We're gonna go to Grand Floridian because my mom just booked us Narcosis for the night at 6:50. So we have to go all the way back to our car to drive to Grand Floridian. Oh, but it was so wet. We made it. I changed again back into my sweatshirt. And I think we're gonna go see the new bar at Grand Floridian and then check out the rug again. Arabella just woke up from her nap and we're gonna see if we can go to dinner a little bit early tonight. The new bar is open. It is looking beautiful. I think we might go get a drink. The carpet looks so good in here. Menu for the bar. Super chocolate. I got the iced tea. Tastes watery. Mine's delicious. Want to try it? Try yours. Try it. So good. What'd you get? Really dry. It's the Floridian, whatever that first drink is. Very dry. It's like— it's almost like— it's kind of like one of Dinner to the castle. Here's the menu. This is what I normally get. I get the kids' chicken and then the, uh, shells and cheese, and maybe we might do the raspberry sorbet. Or maybe a fruit cup because I know Air is going to eat that too. What'd you get? Um, king crab. Yum. There she goes. Say that's it for today's video. Thanks for watching. Bye! Bye! Bye!
