Have any of you decorated your car to go on any Disney trip? We almost did two years ago going to California and ran out of time. We leave to drive to Vancouver (cross country) in a few days and I was thinking about doing "Alaska Bound" or something like that on the back window. Anyone have any ideas for me? Or, if you've decorated your car for any Disney trips, I'd love to see pictures!

Great idea. We are going to be driving to WDW in June. Maybe I can get some ideas here, and decorate our minivan for the girls.

I would caution against decorating your car. We once had just an antenna topper of plain mickey ears on our car antenna, and the whole antenna got ripped off by kids in the neighborhood who were less fortunate than us. The kicker was it wasn't even a WDW mickey, it was a free mickey college program mickey head from a college program presentation. I can see kids/adults/anyone less fortunate and prone to jealousy unfairly targeting your car or vandalizing it out of spite.

Ugh, one would hope that would not happen. But I can see where there is a cautionary tale for that.
Yeah, if we decorated, I was thinking window clings on the inside for my kids to play with. I wouldn't want our minivan to be sitting in a hotel parking lot with 'Disney Bound' written all over the windows and then worry about it being broken into.

We are driving from Cleveland Ohio to WDW, so we have an overnight stay in SC planned.

Kids do stupid things like tat all of the time, and it doesn't mean they are jealous. We were on a. Cruise, and some kids (I assume) took our magnets and white erase boards off of our door. I don't think they were jealous we were on a cruise.

I wouldn't decorate. It's like advertising you are on vacation, and have a lot of your belongings in your car.

We intend to decorate our car... But we are driving straight thru. No overnight stops or anything. It's an 8 hour drive for us. I think it'll be fun to decorate right before we pull out of our driveway.
