Candles?

[Disneymad]

Not sure if this is an odd question or not

Are candles permitted in rooms? I'm going in October and thought a nice Halloweeny-Pumpkin spiced candle might be a nice way to get me (even more) in to the mood of the season.

Obviously all the standard rules would apply about not leaving it unattended yadda yadda, however I have nightmares that I'm going to set off a smoke alarm or something and be on the wrong end of a horribly embarrassing situation!

Would love your thoughts on this.

Common sense tells me NO!. I can't imagine any hotel allowing candles.

I've used candles before. Specifically, I bring one to HH every T'giving.

It's out in the open and mousekeeping has never said anything. I never considered it to be a problem.

I'm pretty sure someone has posted here before some list of Disney rules and "no open flames" type thing was included. Since I might be staying next door to you, I'll just say -- please don't burn candles in your room.

We like the febreeze flameless luminary. Took one on vacation with me in September.

I have taken the small Yankee Candle glass jars a lot of times....not just DVC but many hotel rooms. Some don't smell so good so like the canldle.
I light it only when we are in the room.

I wouldn't consider Mousekeeping's ignoring a candle as "permission" to light it. For all they would know you don't light it but use it as a table accessory.

Saratoga Springs Spa sells this really nice Soy Candle.

I keep it in my Ownerslocker along with a plug in candle warmer.

I get the nice scent without the flame and it lasts alot longer

I dont want to go down in infamy as the "lady that burned down BCV" so the candle warmer gives me peace of mind

I also take the Wallflowers that plug in.

No matter how well attended, candles are a safety hazard. If you ask, you will be told no.

Soot from candles can discolor walls and furniture and can also contaminate the ventilation system. Although the problems resulting from burning candles can be minimized, the basic problem is that candle flames must contain soot or they will not be bright. Soot is the source of the bright white/yellow light that candles emit. A flame without soot will burn blue, like the flame from a gas stove.

On top of that, some candles throw off toxic chemicals and cause an indoor air quality problem.

Consider others. Don't do it.

I'm going during Chanukah this year, and will have to light a Menorah every night. I hope there's no problem with that . . . candles burn about 40 minutes, and I would do it at night, when I'm in for the evening.

Scented candles of any kind should be considered the same as smoking.
Not acceptable in any room nor on any balcony or patio. Those scents can cause distress equal to smoke to some people.

Why not just get an electric/battery operated one? They do have them.

I think candles should be left at home or in the stores. Too many stories about fires caused by candles.

This is me...if someone in an ajoining room burns a scented candle it will cause me great breathing difficulties. Please consider this when deciding weither or not to use the candles.

Thanks for the feedback folks - I'll skip the candle

I think too many people here are being over sensitive. I mean, did anyone ever have a birthday cake with candles in the villas? And it wasn't that long ago when guests were firing up matches to light their smokes.

The key is good common sense. As the OP put it, yadda, yadda, yadda....

I know for me the issue is the scent. Regular B-day candles are not scented. I have a nasty respratory issue with scents in general and having someone burning a scented candle will ruin my vacation as it will cause me to have severe difficulty breathing. Smokes and matches would have the same affect on me as well as heavy use of perfumes and aftershaves.

Thank you, I get migranes from scented candles.

OT: Hello Eyor44!! I would just get a tealight with a battery for the pumpkin. That sounds cute. I always take decorations with me just not candles.....DH is a fireman and doesn't allow (rather doesn't want) me to burn candles in our home.

Yeah, the official report would read "your name" also goes by LIFERBABE on the DIS boards! I could see it in the Orlando Sentinal now!

Hey ToddyLu!! I was just thinking about you. How did I miss that your DH is a fireman????? Did I know this???? My DH is a volunteer fireman and DS has joined in as a cadet.

I am also going to try the battery tealight for the pumpkins this year. That's a great idea.
