 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Disney's Fort Wilderness resort and we're gonna be staying in the cabins I am so excited. I've always wanted to stay at the cabins during the holiday season And I'm happy that we're gonna be able to do that before they actually go away on top of that We're gonna meet up with some friends and do some birthday festivities because my birthday is just a couple days away And then we're gonna go to another surprise birthday for a friend of mine So we're gonna eat some food drive around on the golf cart and just have a beautiful Fort Wilderness kind of day Anyhoo, let's go do this The best thing about the cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness is I get to have my Gracie with me Are you excited for a little staycation? Look at her. She loves coming here. They have a little dog park and she gets to hang out on the deck and Taking all the sounds in the nature. Look at us. We got a beautiful. We got a beautiful cabin with an amazing view If you saw my last video, you know that I ended the video here at Disney's Fort Wilderness Cabins And I was talking about how I kind of want to do a countdown for the last 12 days until Christmas So yeah, we'll talk about that a little bit later on But right now I want to give you a little cabin tour show you around a little bit Or maybe I'll have Gracie show the way Gracie Gracie cabin tour. All right, Gracie. Come on. Let's give him a cabin tour Here it is. I've been here before and I've made videos But I just want to show you one last time because they are getting rid of these cabins and it's so spacious They're just they're redoing them. They're changing them to a little more modern like glamping But yeah, you get one bathroom very nice bathroom. Look at this very fancy Like it got the shower and then you get a nice little bed Gracie. What bed you calling? Which one? That's the one you're going in the bunk bed. Look at that. It sleeps a lot of people Gracie has claimed the bottom bunk. You claim the bottom bunk, huh? I Don't know when they're gonna actually get rid of these cabins, but they did release a couple of New images I'll pull them up on the phone so I can show you what the new cabins are going to look like well The Disney Vacation Club cabins and let me know which ones you like better I mean the new ones they do a little they look a little bit more modern But I like all the decorations on the inside Here is some information about the new cabins Well for the new Disney Vacation Club cabins and it looks like they're opening summer 2024 but I don't know if these are going away right away So this might be the last Christmas at Disney's Fort Wilderness with these cabins. I don't know but they look kind of cool I mean up data like the bunk beds the layout is definitely different It's kind of like they put the kitchen in the bathroom where the TV is actually now and shout out to my friend Brooke who's posting all the good stuff and that's the look on the outside. What do you think you have this or you got This Take Gracie out of the picture. She doesn't count. She makes everything look better. I Think I'm gonna head up to Pioneer Hall and near settlement outpost and get a cup of coffee and I don't know just check out the area a little bit and Got a golf cart. I love riding around on the golf carts. You can actually rent them here. I just lost the key Here is my golf cart that I rented here at Fort Wilderness. It's charging up But I love how my next-door neighbor has buddy the elf actually on the porch So every time I come out I see buddy the elf Bye, buddy. I hope you find your dad You come to Fort Wilderness you got to get a golf cart it's a part of the experience We got the little wagon wheel Christmas tree. Oh The Christmas music and also people like to decorate their golf carts. I kind of like it kind of like it It's honestly like very empty and eerie up here though, especially like I guess this time in the morning It's not even that early. I don't feel like but there's I mean the parking lots empty And I feel like it was busy. Oh, look at that one golf carts got lightsabers hanging around the side there Interesting. I think we're gonna head into the new trails end the quick service Like I mentioned I want to do like a 12-day countdown till Christmas 12 days till Christmas So it's gonna be a day behind because I want to basically Film my 12-day countdown and then share it with you so I started on the 13th and the video probably will come up 14th and Yeah, I think it's gonna be fun I've never really done anything like this before so I'm a little bit nervous and I hope that you guys Will want to watch and enjoy like I said It's gonna be a variety of different stuff like stuff outside the park stuff in Pennsylvania stuff inside the parks Whatever I can do that's fancy and fun. So I hope you enjoy and I hope that I get to Spread a little Christmas cheer this year This is my view as I sit here rocking drinking my coffee. You can see Discovery Island over there Maximum level coziness right above the wreath the Christmas decorations. That's not a wreath I've been wanting to sit here and kind of just sit in the rocking chair Drink my coffee. Look at the boats here the birds and then they have a very light Christmas piano music. It's so cozy Honestly, they even have some of the horses Out right now you can see them. I looks like they're saddling up. We're doing something. Look at this. This is so cozy Holy moly Wow Always nice stopping in and seeing and Phil and Skyler over here Tis this season Hope the holiday season treats you well Yeah, well, thank you. Oh It is just really nice in here All right, it's time to head back and go get ready for the day's festivities All right, we're back home Gracie girl Now that we got our coffee and Gracie went to the dog park. It's time to head out go meet up with some friends I don't know what we got planned. We have this tradition me and a couple of friends of mine It's like a guy's day out where we go out and pamper ourselves and we do it for birthdays Like we do it for each birthday and now it's my birthday. So it's time for all the guys to get together You know we do weird like pampering like we do pedicures manicures I know it sounds funny, but like I'm on my feet all the time and same thing with my friends You know, they're all different professions and it's good. You gotta take care of your feet So I think we're gonna go get pedicures. I Love how we're literally driving by the contemporary to go get pedicures listening Food off the Red Nose reindeer It's so funny that we all get together and actually go get pedicures it all started with my friend Sean I think I think we all wanted to get together one night and do something and We were celebrating his birthday and we're like, let's go grab some pedicures and I love getting pedicures I take my mom and sister whenever my mom and sister are with me There's one thing we always do is we always all get pedicures together So it's gonna be a nice little birthday tree. It's my turn cuz my birthday my birthday is not officially till December 19th But like I said everything's going by so fast and it's always busy during the holiday season It's a curse to have a birthday so close to Christmas even though it's a blessing It's also a curse because so much is happening and so many people are busy Everybody just get in their toes polished. Thank you, sir This is all we need in life right now birthday traditions Cheers Jason Now that we're back in the cabin my feet feel good It's time to get ready for a surprise birthday party for my friend Shannon and I'm actually gonna be dressing up an all-black. We're doing a themed party. So I'm very excited I mean, I'm not gonna dress all black. Maybe I might keep the same outfit that I have I'm already I mean I got the black flannel. This is a new Star Wars flannel Remember I told you flannel is the season little Roosevelt Star Wars flannel. Oh, but yeah time to head to a little surprise birthday party Of course, we had a stop and bring Gracie over to wagon trails dog park This is the dog park at Disney's Fort Wilderness. She loves it here. Look at tons of doggies here. Oh Yeah, she won't go inside What are you doing? Yeah There she goes underneath the dreaming tree. Oh Grace here comes a ball I See a lot of people driving around with their dog in the golf cart And I wish Gracie would get in the golf cart with me like I wish but she doesn't want to get into it It actually says I don't think you're allowed to do it But she I mean she's like a chill dog, but for some reason I just don't think she likes the space I think she likes to have a big like front seat and stuff like that And I think she might feel like she might fall off. So I'm not gonna try it. She's not comfortable. I ain't gonna force her We stopped by the metal trading post so I can show you guys around a little bit You can do fishing down here You can rent canoes and they even have a campfire sing-a-long over there with Chippendale I'll show you. We'll actually do a little walk around me and Gracie Given the we're giving you the Gracie tour. I got the Gracie cabin tour now. Gracie is gonna show you around She actually knows her way around here because we come here so much. It's so beautiful. Look at this. I Mean honestly, I even though some of the resorts at Disney are so extravagant and elegant Nothing will ever beat the fort. Just being here is all total different vacation experience. I Love that you can go fishing here Actually in my one video that I did where I kind of like gave a full tour of the fort I remember I did a little fishing you and me go fishing in the dark Gracie's walking me to the dog park Oh, that's the cool grass grows I'm kind of nervous about doing the 12 days of vlogs in a row It's just you know, like I said, I kind of really like pay attention to like the details of my videos So I want to make them very entertaining I mean, I don't know I might throw in a live stream and I also have a couple sleeper videos that I've been holding on to Well, I only have one but I might throw a live stream and they might be very short or they could be long Depending on what's going on that day So let me know if you guys are excited for it and maybe it'll give me more encouragement and I mean I'm still gonna do it regardless. I think as long as I'm able to do it That's gonna be fun Wow, I never really ever get to show you guys the pool area because there's usually a bunch of You know people using it I don't want to film people as they're like, you know in their bathing suits, but look at this There's nobody at the pool There's nobody at the pool the jacuzzi the splash pad and that's probably because it's like 50 degrees out But it's a nice pool They have a nice little pool table a fountain soda beverage station and Quick snack stand all right next to the pool and they got a pong table. Grace. You want to play some pong? Let's play some pong. Huh? You want play? Gracie is such a great dog like honestly, she's my best friend and I'm so excited We're gonna be taking this road trip together. She's pulling me away She's taking me back to them of the theater under the stars But I'm so excited that we're gonna be going on a road trip up to Pennsylvania The other I'm taking her home for the holidays We're driving from Florida to Pennsylvania and I think I might stop twice maybe maybe once and I plan on making like I said I'm gonna include those into the daily vlogs or just my 12 days of Christmas vlogs which like I said I hope I could come up with enough material Gracie let's show them where the campfire show is right now They're not doing the campfire and you have to drive your golf cart over here You can't actually bring a car or anything.
