Do you decorate your room for the holidays?? - The DIS Discussion Forums

wdwpirates · 11-23-2009, 12:48 PM

We are heading down to WDW in just over a week. We're staying 4 nights at SSR. Even though it's a quick trip I'd like to make the room a bit "christmasy". What do you guys do to bring the holiday cheer into your hotel room?? Do you decorate the outside of the door? Just looking for some simple ideas to make things extra cheery. We've had a rough few months and need a serious pick-me-up!!

TIA!!!

5 days from now we will be in a 2 BR villa at the Grand Californian.

Not only are we taking......

Lights for both balconies
Christmas tree for the window
Snowflakes to hang from the balcony
Front Door Happy Holidays sign
Snowman flag (been on the last 5 christmas trips)
Santa windsock - " " " " " " " "
Christmas napkins

I checked FedEx - the 2 boxes (one has christmas gifts) were delivered today!

We have arranged to hand the decorations over to new guests when we depart 1 week later so they can enjoy the decorations too!

We have hung a Mickey wreath on the door with one of those over the door hangers - we didn't put anything on the door with tape or other sticky substance. We did have a small prelit Christmas tree that we brought from home.

we take a small prelit tree (if you do take something like that, you need to make sure to bring a power strip/extension cord b/c the outlets are not necessarily conveniently located!) that we decorate right when we get there. We also take window clings. Sometimes we take other things to hang, and we use clothespins to suspend them from the curtains.

I also printed off a Christmas greeting sign and laminated it and put a magnet on the back so it would cling to our door.

We will be there for 10 days of which will be over Christamas so I'm planning on decorating. I made these things to bring with us: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.ph...&postcount=130

Great ideas. That's the Christmas spirit.

Thank you!

Do you remember where you found the package of mirrored balls? I must make some...they are adorable!

dogodisney · 11-23-2009, 10:24 PM

I got them at Hobby Lobby.

I'm shipping my box tomorrow or Wed. and I have lights and garland with hanging snow flakes for around the window. Window clings that are Mickey, Pooh and Tink theme. DDs 13th birthday is while we are there, and we have signs to hang in the window for her that day. We also have a stocking to hang on the door, I wanted a wreath, but couldn't find one I liked. I can't wait to get there and get it done.
