What time do you have to be at the Contemporary for Pirates and Pals? I believe they give you food before you cruise. So I would keep your dinner plans light (wouldn't go to Chef Mickey's at all even if you can get an earlier reservation nor plan a heavy dinner). I also know manicures can take a while so you might not have a ton of time between when you are done at GF and when you have to be at Contemporary for the cruise.
I would plan on quick serve at one of the 3 monorail resorts for something light. That way you aren't tied to a reservation time and you can be flexible. Just check the menus and quick serve options available at each of the 3 resorts. I would use Trader Sam's as a last resort. It's really a bar with a limited (not really kid friendly food) appetizer menu, and while kids are welcome before 8, I don't think it's a very kid-centered place in general.
I was only going to do Pirate and Pals if we cancel Chef Mickey. If we skip P&P our schedule will be: 4:00 -6ish GF for manicures and looking at Christmas decorations at GF. 6:00 - 7:15ish wander around Poly (maybe grab a Dole Whip? Don't know what else to do!). 7:15 - 7:45 Explore Contemporary w/ Dinner at Chef Mickey at 7:45. I'm also planning on giving the kids some coins to do a pressed penny hunt at the resorts.
