Any ideas for making a privacy screen between beds?

Only if you are willing to pay for damages if you pull of the paint. Those things are not perfect, and damage can happen.

I thought the same thing. I used them one time, and they pulled the paint and that little layer of paper from the drywall . Never again.

I also have had the command hooks pull off paint, and once a little bit of the drywall. I would not risk it.[/QUOTE]

Could you use something like command hooks (the ones that come off by pulling on the glue pads) and use a fishing line and drape sheets over it? OP asked for ideas - not opinions - if you have none to contribute, don't post. No need to make someone else fee bad!

We are going to attempt this, not for the same reasons as OP, but because our daughter is a bit of a terrible sleeper (she's two). If she sees us in the same room as her when she wakes up during any of her approximately 800 night wakings, it will all be over for everyone. So we are going to try to rig a curtain around her pack and play so she can't see us and has the illusion of being "alone" like she is at home. I plan to bring an extension cord and use a blow dryer to heat the stickers before I pull them off as that should help loosen the glue and ensure a clean removal. If not, of course we will pay for the repairs to the walls.

I've actually seen some cute little tents they make to go over a bed - they're specifically designed for things like a dorm room and for your daughter's needs!

That's interesting! I think a bit too expensive for this particular use, but I'll be holding onto the idea, thank you!

OP here. Wow! some really unhelpful replies. I wasn't asking for opinions as to the validity of my plan, just ideas. I did ask on an internet forum though so it is to be expected. .....it is a mixed gender group and yes, one of the young ladies is very reserved and has a sleep disorder. We already have 3 rooms booked and can not afford to get her her own room for a week. Unfortunately it doesn't matter who she shares a room with in this case, she will be uncomfortable no matter what. I am just trying to make the situation slightly less awkward for her. For those that provided links to products and orher ideas, thank you, I will check them out

I feel for her. I don't sleep well at all, and it is awkward to share a room, though the people I share with are used to it. I honestly don't mean this to be rude, but a screen will do little if anything to help her out if she has a sleep disorder. It won't block light or sound (which I'm sure you realize) and won't do anything but block her from immediate view.

Have you discussed this with her? It would be very rough to try and vacation at WDW with your sleep being compromised and then trying to deal with the stress of being in a room with someone, and having them know what you are going thru.

 

[eeyoresmom]

I have spoken to her and she realizes the situation isn't ideal. She feels a little more comfortable that there is no direct vision with the young men in the other bed. And before the comments start , we realize one of them COULD move a barrier but she is not that worried about the situation, that was blown up by other judgemental posters here.

 

[maxiesmom]

It would cost a bit, but would she be happier with an air mattress and one of the tent bed covers? She could zip herself in then.

[maxiesmom]

Or how about something like this with a sheet over it?

There are cheaper ones too. They are made for children, but really who cares as long as it works.

 

[eeyoresmom]

Ill show her that tent like thing. In a solid fabric, that may be a great alternative.

 

[happymommy]

She may decide to purchase the privacy pop if she likes it - I think they look ideal for a dorm room as well! They look easy to transport, and would give her privacy all around and above her.

As a few other folks have noted Amazon has some items that may work. I searched "bed tents" on Amazon and there is a wide variety of sizes and prices of tents that go on top of the bed. There is even a thread on this board on how to ship things direct from Amazon to your resort to avoid packing it at least on the way down.

Maybe one of these options will work? Best of luck.

PS. I think it's wonderful that you are researching a way to make this young lady comfortable!

 

[DisBuckMan]

it is a mixed gender group and yes, one of the young ladies is very reserved and has a sleep disorder.

I believe if you would have included this bit of important information in your original post, you wouldn't have had to wade through the wild speculation your incredibly vague post sparked.

The studio at OKW isn't square and is more five sided than four sided. It will be a long run with a string to get to the opposite wall which will be the closet. I don't think you are going to be able to run anything that distance.

You may want to put the young lady in a room with only females instead of males and females.

 

[eeyoresmom]

No room with only females. She likes the pop up tent so we're going with that

I don't know if this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008UYXI48?psc=1&smid=A2FQ5GG01HBOZ1 is one of the links maxiesmom provided, but it looks like a good option. Pops up, doesn't appear to need to be fastened to the bed in any way, almost eight feet long, she can drape a sheet over it if it's not solid enough. She's still not going to have any privacy getting to and from e bathroom, but none of the other suggestions would offer that either.

80" would be 6'8", nothing close to 8'. However, 50" would take up most of the width of the bed. Queen sized bed is only 60" wide. That only leave 10" for the other person unless both of them plan to sleep inside this. I imagine it would get very hot inside this.

She may be better off getting some anxiety medication for her issues, especially if any other person in the room is a concern.

Or reconfigure all the rooms to make it easier for her. Like all women in one room, all men in another.

 

[kaytieeldr]

I don't think there's a second person sharing the young woman's bed. I think it's her in one bed and the two young men in the other.
