December 2020 at Disney Part 2

January 8, 2021 | Disney

If you missed part one, go back and read it here before reading this post!

Disclosure: This post contains sponsored content, however, all opinions are my own.

We left off at the end of day one, our first night at the Polynesian. The next day we were supposed to go to Magic Kingdom, but a few days before our trip the forecast called for rain and I was able to switch our days. So we spent the morning just hanging out on the balcony and talking, watching the rain, and actually just BEING on vacation, it was so nice and needed.

The rain ended up clearing mid morning and we met a friend at Capt/ Cook’s for a late breakfast and sat outside near the pool. I had Tonga Toast and cannot remember the last time I had it!

After that, it ended up warming up enough that we were able to go back to the pool we couldn’t believe it! Again, too cold for me, but Emma Kate had a blast. My parents joined us and for awhile we were literally the only people there. It was so fun, and again one of my best memories from the trip and didn’t even involve a theme park.

I mean, how often can you get a shot like this?

We had lunch again by the pool. Here is a shot of Captn. Cooks. We placed our mobile orders at our pool chairs and when it was ready we went inside. Bags are placed on the tables and you grab your food and any condiments, napkins etc. you need. Then you move to the drink station and someone is there to make your drinks. Easy peasy!

We ended up over by the hot tub while the kid’s activities girl was doing a trivia game. Me and this other guy kept shouting all the answers, my dad was shocked I knew 99% of them (I mean, duh!) I felt bad for the girl because there were so few people at the pool, no one was participating.

Late afternoon we got ready to go over to Disney Springs, we had a hosted dinner at Planet Hollywood, and believe it or not, I had never been to this one!

On our way to dinner we took some pictures of the beautiful Christmas trees.

We made it! Let’s eat!

The lobby area was beautiful, I love how you go right up the stairs into the dining area.

My mom is obsessed with blue drinks. So a blue drink she had!

Everything was truly so, so good.

This guy was a highlight of the meal, it’s a sharable appetizer and we had so much fun eating it. So many things to try!

Bobby and I both had burgers, my dad had lasagna, and my mom had salmon. We all LOVED our food and were so plesantly surprised.

Another highlight of the meal was dessert…holy milkshakes! Huge and delicious!

Check out Emma Kate’s reaction. Heh.

We will be back Planet Hollywood! After rolling ourselves out of the restaurant, we looked at a few more of the trees before heading out. We would be back at Disney Springs later in the week and we were full and tired.

As we headed out there was “snow” and Emma Kate had a ball running through it.

Back to the Poly we went, and then to bed. We started our park days the next day, and wanted to be well rested!

Up next: EPCOT!

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

❄️ Save this for your holiday trip to the Smokies, and comment the word Snow and I will send you my exclusive discount code right to your inbox!

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️
