Loads of guests who stay at WDW resorts decorate their rooms with various disney things etc.

I was wondering if anyone does the same thing at an offsite hotel :confused3

I really want to do this on my upcoming trip, but my mum will think I'm a loon unless I can prove I'm not the only one... so help me out please :thumbsup2
 
I'll be the first one to chime in.... if you're a loon, then I'm one too!

We'll be renting a villa for a week in November, and I'm taking Christmas decorations... since our whole trip is about seeing the Christmas decorations at WDW and attending MVMCP. Oh yah... we'll be there the week before Thanksgiving! :rotfl:

I don't see any reason to think you're a loon....why NOT decorate a drab boring hotel room to make it a more happy and cheerful place to spend your time? What harm is it going to do? Business travelers have long been known to take framed photographs along on their trip to decorate the room just a smidge. So long as you're not talking about hammering nails in the walls or something damaging the hotel isn't going to care, and hey, you might put a smile on the maid's face for a few minutes.

And...I'm an old fuddy duddy, so if I think it's a good idea, well, tell mom to chill out and let you have some innocent fun. Mom....be glad she's not wanting to decorate billboards or freeway overpass signs with graffiti or something illegal like that!

This is not a mountain I'd want to die on. (If you mom is old like me, she'll get the reference.)
 

We've done MNSSHP several times, and we have decorated our room at Vistana on a couple occasions with lots of Halloween decorations. It's fun. Dress it up !
 
We haven't really "decorated" an offsite room (nor onsite, for that matter), but we HAVE done things to make an offsite stay more "Disney-like." These things have added to our enjoyment, especially when the kids were younger:

--- Disney music for the car rides to/from/between the parks
--- Mickey bars and other ice cream novelties for our timeshare
--- Mickey soaps & shampoos in the baths
--- put lots of Disney beanie babies around the room
--- made Mickey-head pancakes in the morning
--- new Disney swimsuits for the kids, which they found their first morning there

I think that bringing a string of lights and some pretty garland or bead strands to drape from a few inside fixtures or tape onto metal/vinyl porch railings would be really nice at Christmastime. We don't go all out to decorate our home at Christmas anyway (just a few light strings inside and out, some evergreen garlands and lots of candles). So this kind of thing would feel very festive to us if we were away at Christmas.

Whenever we go on our timeshare vacations, I ALWAYS bring scented votive candles in sturdy votive glasses. I stuff them into sneakers so they won't break in transit. The pretty scents set the mood for the time of year and remind us that we're on vacation. It's romantic too, since we often have a nice jacuzzi in the MBR. :thumbsup2

I don't think you're a loon. You just want to make your vacation more special. :cutie:
 
when I go to Disney for Nov or Dec - take my little christmas tree with me!!!

It does great!

also bring some lights to decorate the balcony with to make it cheerful.

bring some of that sticky stuff (not tape) to put the lights up with - they don't hurt the paint and are reuseable.

also might go buy some flowers or plants at Walmart.
