Love them. So classic. I woke up like this in this because I just dump all— once again, it's like that two-piece layer. So this is what it looks like. Looks like this. Hey guys, what's up? It's Natalie. Welcome to, or welcome back to, my YouTube channel. Guess where we're going? We're going to Disney, of course. You guys know me, I love going to Disney. We go almost every single week, and today I'm doing a new type video because I see a lot of it on my For You page, and it's a pack with me for Disney. So that's what we're doing this weekend. We are celebrating my mom's birthday. We're actually staying at Disney's Fort Wilderness but in the cabins. I'm super excited. We've stayed there many, many times, and there's about like 25 of us going, so this should be fun. I'm really excited. I'm not much of a camper. I'm more like Grand Floridian Polynesian, but but we're switching it up a little bit. I'm going to show you guys what I'm packing. It's going to be a very low-key weekend, um, and then I think we're doing a water park. We leave tomorrow, so our first day we get a water park. So I'm going to show you guys everything I got and tell you guys where I've gotten it. If you've never seen any of my videos, hi, my name is Natalie Barnes. I'm a local realtor who specializes in new construction in Florida. I live extremely close to Disney, not even an hour away, so So we're very blessed and lucky to be able to go almost every single week to Disney, which we do. And sometimes we stay on property, sometimes we just come back home, it just depends. But this weekend we're staying all weekend long and I'm super excited, guys. I'm overpacking this trip. Why? Because I don't know what I'm going to be in the mood to wear and also in the mood to like take pictures in. Um, I know on Sunday we are going to Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom, which I'm super excited about because I love Magic Kingdom. Who doesn't love Magic Kingdom? And actually, Sam, my husband, has never tried Beacon Barrel, and it's my mom's and I's favorite place. And Arabella calls it— was it Captain Jack's Restaurant? So we're basically going just to pop in to do that, and I think we might do a couple rides in the morning. I'm not really sure what we're really doing. Let's get on with it. First thing I want to show you guys are my ears. I'm not like the biggest ear girly, but they're cute for pictures. I'm gonna show you guys my recent obsession first. So I actually got Daisy. My mom got me Daisy. How cute are these? Ah, love them! But I also got these Minnie Mouse ones. One, two. I kind of really want to start a collection with these because I gotta tell you, this is the only headband that does not give me a headache and I can actually wear all day. So I think for my Magic Kingdom day these would actually match better, but I'm bringing everything. So we got this headband with these and these. Might be cute to even like mix-match them. You guys mix-match? I don't know, kind of like a matchy girl. So we got that. Then we can't forget about the OG, obviously classic. And then these are more like fall time, I want to say like winter, but I love them. I just feel like they're kind of too hot for summer. They're like— I don't know if you guys can see them, like the material, they're very fuzzy. And then my husband got me these off of Etsy. Don't know what website he got them off of, but they're really cute. They're very me. You guys can see they have these like gold Mickey— they're not by Disney, but they're like gold Mickey like rhinestones. Super cute and plain. I see so many girls collect like keychains and stuff. Not me, I don't do that. I think they're so cute, but I'd rather kind of spend my money on like ears. And I want to get into like Disney jewelry. I think that'd be really fun. Sadly, I don't— I like wear the same thing over and over. Like, I don't— I— when I used to have an Apple Watch, I'd get the bands But I don't even like wearing my MagicBand. Unpopular opinion, because I had the cutest MagicBand and it was light pink and it had all the Disney princesses and like rose gold outline of the Disney princesses. Fell off my wrist, I lost it. Was really traumatic because it was my favorite thing ever and no one found it. And now they're selling on eBay for like I think like $200, something crazy like that. So, and they don't carry it in Disney anymore, so I now have a gray one that is Dumbo, and then Arabella has like this purple one. Arabella is my daughter. She has this purple one and I don't let her wear it because I'm so scared these are gonna get lost. So yeah, okay, let's move on to the bags I'm bringing. Okay, I'm bringing 3 bags, but like I said, we're not really going many places. First day, which is Friday, we're going to the water park, which this is what I'm bringing to the water park. I think I haven't done a water park in so long, but it basically just says, 'I woke up like this, hashtag married,' because me and my husband just got married. This is like my pool bag. I don't know if I'm gonna bring it, honestly. I'm gonna bring it just in case we do like the pool at our resort, but I don't know. Then I'm bringing my big duffel. This goes everywhere with me. It's been on Disney cruises, it's been to Disney multiple times. Um, it's just really like a good dump bag. Guys, have you guys seen the new tote bags that you guys can customize at Disney? So cute. I really want to look at those, but I'm bringing this because I just dump all my stuff in here when I pack up the room. And then I'm obviously bringing my fanny pack. Holds everything. So even though like I'm not bringing a purse, this is like a wallet purse, and then I put it into my big tote bag. Um, I'm obsessed with this. The only thing I don't like about it is sometimes the zipper gets caught. I want to say this is Stoney Clover. I think this is Stoney Clover. Yeah, I think it is. The zipper gets caught a lot and I'm so scared I'm going to break it because because I've already had to return my first one. Um, and I wish the strap went a little smaller. I'm not saying I'm like the smallest girl, but I don't know, I wear it a lot like that. But I wish I could almost wear it like around my hip— my hips, but it would fall down. Those are the bags I am bringing to Disney for our Disney weekend. Let's talk about bathing suits because I did just say we're going to a water park. I I think we're doing Typhoon Lagoon, maybe, maybe Blizzard. I don't know, guys. I don't know. Normally I'm like the planner, but— well, my mom's the planner, but my other cousins are coming and they're kind of in charge of like the water park day, if we even do it, because I think it's gonna rain tomorrow. I'm gonna show you my bathing suits just in case we do go. So these are my bathing suits. So obviously I'm gonna go classic with a one-piece, nothing special. I mean, Shein bathing suits, you can never go wrong with. And then it just ties. But then I'm like, oh, if it's sunny, I want like a good tan line. I found this one bathing suit on— oh, that was inside out. Hold on. Okay, a good one-piece bathing suit. It's still black, but at least it's not inside out. And then the back's like that. And then I would probably pair it with this like skirt, mesh skirt. But then I was like, ah, I don't know, I want like good tan lines. So, and this bathing suit has been all over, not even my For You page on TikTok, but also my Shein page. And it's this bathing suit, and it looks like two bathing suits in one. So cute, I'm obsessed. And then the back goes like that, and then the bottoms once again look like two bathing suits in one. I don't know if I'm gonna look stupid or really cute. Hopefully it's really cute. I'm still bringing it. And then I have these shorts. So I don't know, I really don't know if we're going tomorrow to the water park, but just in case, I'm bringing. I would love to get cute bathing suits that are like Disney themed that aren't like choogy. I just haven't found any. So if you know any recommendations on where, where I can get really cute Disney adult bathing suits that are not choogie, let me know because I would love to order some. I'm gonna start with my rain jacket because it's Florida and we get rain showers like every single day randomly, and if I am stuck out, I want to be prepared. So I actually got this back last— I want to say August. Yeah, I think so, maybe September, August. And we were at Magic Kingdom and it was downpour, and we were right next to Winnie the Pooh and like the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. And I was like, oh no, we need like a poncho, me and my friend. So we got these really cute Winnie the Pooh jackets, raincoats, and it says Pooh in the front. I don't know if you guys can see, but I really like this. They only had— did they only have one size? I don't remember if they only had one size, or I'm like, I'm gonna get a really big so it can be like a big poncho. I think that's That's what it was. I wanted to get it really big so it could be like a big poncho. But why I like it is because you can actually fold everything up inside the actual poncho and it turns into like a little bag for the poncho. Like you just shove everything in. Oh my God, I did that wrong. Okay, wait, okay, so you shove everything in. I think it's this way. Not crazy, I know you shove everything in. I was like, oh my gosh, how cool! Yes, okay, I'm right. And then you just zip it and it's a bag. So smart, Disney. Like, Disney is so smart. Okay, so I'm bringing this just in case. I am the type of girl that's always cold. Like, it could be 90 degrees and somehow, some way I'm cold, especially in restaurants. So in the cabin I'm probably gonna be cold, especially if we go to my mom's cabin because she cranks that thing to like 65 degrees, super cold. So I'm bringing 2 sweatshirts. My first one is going to be this navy one. I feel like this just looks so vintage. I think I got this at— I think my mom actually got me this one year for Christmas. I know she got it on Disney property. I don't remember where she got it from, but I remember I got it for Christmas and I wore it on the Wish, the Disney cruise, and I got so many compliments. So I'm gonna wear this one, the navy, and I'm gonna wear it with this workout set. I'm not gonna work out in Disney. I don't know who does, and if you do, you're crazy. And I wish I could, but I'm just not that cool or coordinated. But I'm going to wear it with this like sports bra. Once again, it's like that two-piece layered set. Love. And then these are the bottoms. So I think this would be like really nice just to throw on. And even if we like want to go on a walk in the morning— I don't know if we will, but if we do, that would be really, really cute to wear just like around the resort. If we go, you know, to my mom's cabin or my sister's cabin, this is more like of a chill, I might take pictures in. This sweatshirt actually gives me really bad memories, but I love the look of it. So this is what it looks like. We actually got it at Art of Animation, and the story behind this jacket is my daughter was jumping on one of the beds at the Art of Animation Hotel. I think it was Nemo, and she was jumping. And if you've ever stayed in the suite, you know that the one table folds out into a bed, and then there's like a separate room. Well, I kept on saying, stop jumping, stop jumping, stop jumping when she was on the foldable, like, bed. And she didn't listen. And what happened, she actually bumped her head on the, like, headboard of that bed where the light is, cracked her head open. Not terrible, but it was gushing blood. So I had to run to the front desk. My shirt was covered in blood, and they were nice enough to help. I was like, we don't need to go to the emergency emergency room. I just need like bandages and, you know, help. So we got put into this room, they helped really quickly, and they were nice enough to give Arabella a bathing suit because she was wearing her bathing suit at the time that was covered in blood. And they gave me this jacket because they did not want me walking around the hotel with blood all over me. Love that. So I'm gonna wear this and I'm gonna bring leggings just black Aerie leggings, super comfortable. Going with the comfy vibe, this is not really Disney, but I'm still gonna show it. It's just this black SHEIN set, kind of like what I'm wearing right now actually, but it's long pants that flare out. I thought this would be like a cute picture with my Minnie ears. And then this shirt is like a droopy black long sleeve shirt. I'm holding it actually wrong. Yeah, there we go. It's like off the shoulder, and I just think it'd be really cute with my ears just to take a picture in, you know, sitting on the balcony like morning Disney air or something like that. Okay, let's get into my outfits because I'm obsessed. I definitely am overpacking, and most of this stuff, if I was going into a park, I 100% would not wear because I like, like athletic wear or like a cute cute tank top that says like something Disney. I'm not— what you're really gonna see, let's start out with what I would wear to the parks. So this I am thinking about wearing, but I don't think I'm going to wear to Magic Kingdom. It's this black tank top. Why I'm not wearing it, I think, is just because it's black. It'd be cute to wear around the hotel, but it says "I live in Fantasyland." looks like that. And I would actually pair it with these athletic shorts, but once again, I probably won't wear this inside Magic Kingdom the day that we go just because it's black and it's gonna be hot out, super, super hot out. What I am gonna wear is what my husband bought me from Etsy. So I got the I Live in Fantasyland at the Contemporary, uh, hotel we love. And then this is what my husband got off of Etsy for me. Looks like this, and it says Main Street Moms Club. And I really just love the look of this. So it's obviously pink. Pink is my favorite color. I thought this would be cute with these shorts. I love these stretchy, stretchy shorts. I love them because they're so flowy. And they have pockets. So I would definitely pair these, probably— wait, would that actually match? Would you guys do it with this pair, the Daisy, with this? Because pink and pink. Or because it's Minnie, should I wear this? Oh, I wish you guys could answer. I think I might do Minnie. I don't know, that's a hard one, but thank God I'm bringing both. And then my mom can help me to decide. So this is my new top. I have not worn this yet, and I'm super excited to wear this when we go to Magic Kingdom. The next one, I think I'm just gonna take pictures in. So me and my sister got matching, um, Mickey Mouse shirts. They look like this. I don't remember where we got them. I want to say we actually got them at Grand Floridian. I don't know, I don't remember. I think we got them at Grand Floridian. I could be wrong, but they're really oversized and I thought this would look so cute for a picture with my OG Minnie ears and these bell-bottom jeans. Let me show you. I'm not wearing this in a park. This would only be for photos and like content basically, because this is way too hot, way, way, way too hot to wear jeans, to wear jeans into a park. Not happening. Let me show you the jeans. They look like this, but see how these are like bell bottom? I love that with my Converse. I'm gonna show you guys my shoes. I'm wearing two, but just for a photo, I think that would look so cute. And I could really do any ears, but I think I'm gonna do my OG mini ears. That would be the cutest. Okay, moving on. So my husband also got me this for Mother's Day. I wore this in not my last Disney vlog, but the vlog— was my last Disney vlog? I don't remember. I think 2 vlogs ago. But it's this beautiful dress and it ties right here. I'm gonna leave this down below and also this down below where he got it, the 2 links that if you guys want it, because I remember what Etsy store he got them off of. I really do like it. The only thing I'm like, oh, I wish it was like a little bit better on is some of the characters. I don't know if you can see it, but they're just a little bit like— hold on, let me show you Mickey Mouse— like the color of it is just like a little off. And it has everyone's signatures, which is so cute. So this would be cute to walk around the hotel in, super light and airy. I love, love, love these types of outfits, just easy just to throw on. Okay, my next top and pants I love. This is my new shirt that I just bought at Yacht and Beach Club when we just stayed there last weekend. It looks like this, and I bought this because we unexpected bought another night because it was storming really bad. But it's just this Walt Disney World carriage, and it says Prince Charming's Royal carrousel. How cute! So I would pair this with these purple shorts. I got these in every color, I'm just going to be honest, I got them in every color. And then I'd probably wear these shoes with them, my pink ones. Super cute, super, super comfortable. I know I keep saying super cute and super comfortable, but that's really my vibe. I love being comfortable, especially in Disney. I normally don't wear any makeup in Disney either, just because I'm like boiling. I don't really wear makeup in general. I normally just wear fake eyelashes and blush and contour because it's so hot. So having a big t-shirt, not really the vibe, I think, when you're going into a park, especially in summer, but great for the hotel. My next thing I am bringing— so this I got last year. My mom got at Disney Springs for me, and it says, 'On my way to have a magical day.' And I love the back of this t-shirt. Um, it's just like a bunch of food, snacks, Mickey ears. And I've been seeing so many people, so many girls wear these cute shorts And these are just— I definitely need to iron these, but these are just like striped boxers. And I think these two together would be really cute, especially like the back, the back, because it's like pink. I love pink. Um, that'd be cute for a picture. I probably— I've seen girls wear those shorts in like the parks. I have not. I'm like a nice little short spandex girl type. Um, but I think they'd be fine. I don't know how I would feel about it because these are more like sleep shorts, so I'll have to try that. That's another outfit. And then I'm going to show you my other favorite one. Okay, so this is one of my favorites. I actually got this off of Amazon, and it's just this super big t-shirt, and it's pink, um, and it's just of the castle. And I got it in an extra large, so this is really big. This is like a cotton type of material, and I would wear this with like these type of pants, the spandex stretchy, really nice. Um, I would definitely wear that into a park even though it's like a cotton material. I'd get really hot. I think it's cute enough to wear into a park, which I have done before. My next one I'm going to wear possibly— it's kind of like a throw-on outfit if we're going down to like the store or like going to see the horses, like an I don't really care outfit. But it's this gray Disney shirt. We got— I got this I think at Pop Century one night when my sister and I booked another room unexpected. We do that a lot actually, book rooms like when we don't want to go home And I'm just gonna throw these pants with it just because, like, it's a nothing outfit. Sometimes you just, like, when you're on vacation and you just want to wear something comfy and you don't really care what you look like, that's my backup outfit. Okay, so this is also what I'm bringing, um, if I'm like, I hate every single thing I've brought. Um, you can never go wrong with a good little bodysuit moment that looks like this. It's easy just to throw on with a fanny pack., and it's super stretchy and lightweight and perfect especially for summer. So I'm bringing my pink one. It's very like athletic wear, I would say. And then I'm also bringing my black one. This is the only time I would wear black in the park, um, is when it's like this athletic stretchy material with like a sports bra. I might wear this with my fanny pack as well with my On Clouds for the black. And then probably my Nike with the pink. I used to have pink On Clouds, but my dog Lady chewed them. I was really upset about it, but moving on. Okay, so going back to like the I don't care, I need something comfy outfit. Like I said, there's about 25 of us going to these cabins, and we all got— I think there's 7, 7 cabins, 5, I don't remember, but we have like a big group of cabins, and we're all going to be barbecuing, cooking out, stuff like that. And since we live in Florida, I'm definitely bringing some Offspray. I'm also bringing some sweatpants and like cute little tank tops. So my go-to sweatpants, um, around hotels or like just travel anywhere are gonna be my Offline Big Boyfriend sweatpants. And I'm bringing my gray color. I love these, these are so, so, so, so comfortable. When we traveled to Italy, I wore my gray ones and I wore my pink ones that you guys are gonna see, but they're so comfortable. Um, I wore them on the plane. And then I'm bringing my Mrs. Barnes shirt. It's just easy just to throw on. People are coming to my cabin. And then I'm bringing my pink ones like I just said. Right here. And then look how cute! I think that is adorable. I mean, this has nothing to do with Disney, but how cute just to throw on. And then I also am bringing my brown pair with this top. This is like all little shells. How cute would it be if I got like Little Mermaid and like actually paired this with like an outfit, like a skirt, because it's all shells and like the crab. So cute, like Sebastian. Yeah, so those are like my comfy outfits that I plan on wearing. I showed you guys basically my shoes, so I'm bringing my black On Clouds, I'm bringing my Converse, and then I'm bringing my pink ones, my pink Nike, and then I'm bringing these knockoff Uggs that I got on Shein, and they are my favorite shoe. Oh, they have like gum on. And then I'm bringing my makeup bag. I really kind of want to get a cute makeup bag. Um, this is like my travel set, and I have like 3 of these. So this has my makeup, my like hair stuff, toothbrush. And then this I love. This is all my hair stuff. It's basically like my Dyson because I have the Dyson Airwrap and all the like the attachments to it. But yeah, that is like everything I'm bringing, and then my suitcase right behind me. I'm super basics. I'm actually bringing a lot this trip. Normally I bring like bare minimum. Sometimes I don't even bring toothpaste, so I can just borrow my mom's toothpaste. But this time I'm like going all out. I'm pretty proud of myself. Totally forgot, last thing I highly recommend if you are going to Disney for the first time or you are returning to Disney: bring your own laundry bag. This will save you. It saves me every single time. I got this off of Shein. Um, but you can probably get them on Amazon and everything, or, you know, Shein, anywhere really. Um, but I highly, highly, highly recommend it because I think they charge you if you're staying at deluxe— if you're staying at deluxe resorts, the little white bag for laundry, I think they charge you if you take that, which I actually have one and they're not nearly as big as this one. I love this one, so definitely bring one. Anyways guys, if you guys like these types of videos, I will keep doing them. Like I said, I go to Disney a lot So each time I go, it's something different. This is a very, very, very low-key weekend, which I'm excited for. But don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe. I will be vlogging this whole trip for you guys, and it's really good for memories. Um, if you've never seen my channel, definitely go start binge-watching all of my vlogs. They're super fun. My niece Kenzie loves watching them, so I think you will too, obviously. But yeah, that is it for today's video, guys. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe, and I will see you in my next video. Bye, guys!
