Is your love for Disney reflected in your home decorations? If yes tell me about it please! I am in process of renovating home and looking for some ideas
 
As much as we love WDW, we keep decorations at the house for it fairly subtle. Things I can think of...

We have WDW coasters in our family room. They're the wooden ones they sell in the parks.

DW has a WDW apron. It's the blue one they sell in the parks.

We have a lot of WDW Christmas stuff...mostly ornaments. I bought a 12' tall inflatable for this year (I do a mega size display).

I think that may be it. Ohhh..we have a couple of coffee table books.
 
I do not really have Disney in my home. I have a single Minnie Mouse figure from childhood on a bookshelf in my media room. That's pretty singular as I don't really own figurines and the like. I have a coffee table book about WDW and Walt, along with one on Pollock and Hemingway. I imagine when I walk out the door they all get drunk (where else is my booze going?) and fight about who was most influential ala Toy Story.
 
Currently I have my 3 Stitch stuffed animals on the very top of our entertainment center, along with my tsum tsums stacked neatly into one of the cube shelves on the side of the entertainment center. I also have a cute wooden Minnie and Mickey Mouse painting above the couch and all of my coffee mugs on display on my little coffee cart in the kitchen. My SO gave a hard NO to a Disney bathroom haha. But I am planning on buying some home items when we go in November with the Caribbean Beach gift card we're getting.
 

Yes, I have Disney stuff all over, however tastefully arranged and not gaudy displays. The family room has the most. There are Jim shore figurines, snow globes, framed poster art, pictures and other eclectic knick knacks from the World. Pinterest has lots of ideas for Disney design.
 
My daughter's bathroom/hall bathroom is decorated with various items representing the Fab 5, red, white and black towels, Mickey shower curtain and a canvas from our meet with Mickey and Goofy among other items we've collected from our childhoods. I love it. My aunt painted a wooden step stool in Minnie theme for when my daughter was younger. We keep it in there :)
 
I have a few Larry Dotson resort prints from the resorts we have stayed at, other than that its just things like dishtowels and kitchen accessories that I use but don't really display.

Mrs. Homie has a few photos from our WDW trips on the walls, a few toys here and there, that's it.
 
There's a bit of Disney all over the house, but the only spot you'd really notice it is in the basement bathroom. Most of our displayed items would are framed artwork.
 
I have a built a built in display shelf in my "dinning" area. In there I have my antenna ball collection,some Mickey figurines and a display of Disney mugs withdisney coffee cans (from a sampler pack). This wasn't a plan to Display these things I justed needed to fill the space.

My last house the master bedroom was painted in Mickey theme. The walls had Disney art.

If my kids ever move out I will convert one room to Disney guest room with all my Disney stuff displayed in there.
 
I have heaps of Mickey stuff in my bedroom (I actually used to have more but have toned it down a lot!).

At the end of my bed I have a chest and sitting on top I have various plush toys: Mickey, Sorcerer Mickey, Minnie (Disneyland 60th anniversary), Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Pluto and a small Pluto dressed as a Dapper Dan. They are all sitting on a Disneyland throw blanket. I also have another plush Mickey on my bed.

Then I have a chest of drawers that has become my Disney corner with a boxed old fashioned plush Mickey and Minnie, a small plush black and white Mickey and Minnie, a gorgeous Britto Tinkerbell shadow box, my Sorcerers Apprentice ears, a Jim Shore Steamboat Willie, a photo of my family and I at Disneyland, a Disneyland snowglobe, a glass prism thing with a Mickey in it, my first visit badge and a Sorcerer Mickey pin. Then on the wall above I have paintings of the 2 US Disney castles and a large wooden Mickey.

On my bookshelf I have a Jim Shore graduation Mickey and on my desk I have a Britto Sorcerer Mickey.

Elsewhere in the house we have Mickey and Minnie oven mitts, a Mickey and Minnie spoon rest, a few magnets (my mum collects magnets from all her travels), a Jim Shore Statue of Liberty Minnie and my Cinderella's castle snowglobe.

And that's not even touching my sister's room. While she doesn't have that much stuff now, she is currently doing the DCP so will come home with plenty of stuff I'm sure!
 
I have an Alice in Wonderland themed bathroom. In my living room, along with other decor, I have a few Disney figurines and framed photos of us on Disney trips, including one with character signatures on the mat. I have a framed "In this house we do Disney" picture. At Christmas I have some Disney decor, including a Disney themed tree.
 
Lately, I really love their kitchen decor so I have most of my Disney items in there. On our most recent trip, I bought some really nice porcelain containers (for flour, sugar), one themed like Mickey and one like Minnie. I have touches of red in my kitchen anyway so these really go nicely. I also have Mickey/Minnie kissing salt and pepper shakers that are only used for display on the windowsill over my kitchen sink. I used to have the Mickey glove hand as a spoon rest on my stove but that broke a couple years ago. And of course Disney mugs!

Other than the kitchen, I try to keep the gaudy kitschy stuff out of the rest of the house.
 
We have quite a bit but it's also pretty subtle. You might not notice most of it unless you look pretty closely.

As you enter our home we have a large framed picture of the backs of the first two Disney ships above our fireplace that DH won in a Wonder silent auction. (Wasn't thrilled with that at the time, but we have a good story about running through MCO with it trying to catch the last flight out during Hurricane Frances, each dragging a kid along, too. When we got to the gate they were calling our names and we had to fumble our way on the packed flight with that thing!) It's has grown on me, though, and it actually was the inspiration for the color we chose for our downstairs during our renovation (beachy white wainscoting with Mickey yellow on walls; it's very cheery during the day, and with soft lightning at night, super cozy). We also have a framed picture of us dressed as pirates on the mantel, along with a "Mickey painting Walt on easel" statue. Other rooms in the house have one or two things that we've bought or show our love of Disney, but again, they're subtle, like a throw over a chair, or the mugs we have in our glass cabinets. One of my favorite things is a family portrait we had done on the Disney Magic, which I had professionally framed (and says Disney Magic in the corner). It hangs on the wall in our bedroom and when I wake up, I see it - probably my favorite family picture. More recently, we bought two framed pictures that have pins embedded in them that I'm waiting to put in our family room for when we renovate it, bought at that art store at the Studios. (I often wound up buying something for our home with our Disney Rewards.) It's fun to incorporate some of the things you love around your home so when you're in the thick of it, it can bring you back a bit, or help you remember why you're working so hard! (You might guess I also have a lot of dog memorabilia!)
 
Among other stuff, we have three dozen Disney animation cels framed and displayed throughout the house. Yes, the original artwork used in several movies. We also have too many Disney figurines, including a 24" long Cinderella Lladro.
 
I have 2 canvas paintings by Thomas Kinkade. It was funny, I met him and his wife. I told him if he painted Dopey I would be first in line.
 
The downstairs is not as over-the-top as it could be. We put most of the stuff upstairs like antenna balls, pins, figures, plush and framed artwork. Downstairs it's a few things like some snow globes on the entertainment center, cookie jar in the kitchen, and a vase on a display shelf. The breakfast nook has the most Mickey but it's subtle. It's a Lane glass-topped table. The chairs have mickey head cut-outs and the glass top has mickey heads etched around the edge.

I think when people come to our house they expect more, so maybe this is a lot to most but not to us.
 
DH and I both love Disney, and when we bought our new townhome we wanted it to reflect that, but in a subtle, tasteful, grown-up way. So we decided to take our favorite parks/resorts and theme each room without being garish about it. Our living room/kitchen we call our Polynesian Adventureland with Tiki and Disney touches, and we have a few items from the parks (garbage pail S&P, display plates with Adventureland/Pirates) but nothing that would say overly Disney, our downstairs guest bath is themed for the Wilderness Lodge, so there are pinecones, bears/moose/deer on towels/framed prints, our bedroom is our Animal Kingdom so African touches here and there, our one guest room is our Epcot room with Paris/Great Britain touches around it and some Beauty and the Beast touches as well, our other guest room is our Disney cruise room done in navy/red/white nautical theme with a picture of the Fantasy on one wall, and then our office is our most Disney room with a few small stuffies, framed pics of trips and collectibles from WDW. So we have Disney all through our house, but you have to really look for it in most rooms unless we tell you what we were going for ;) Makes us happy though!
 
Currently the only things I have are these:

All of these are from Google images

Mother-in-law gave this to me last year for my birthday. It's a cookie jar basically (though I don't use it that way).

My husband and I got this picture holder this past September when we visited Aulani while we were in Hawaii. It doesn't have a picture in it yet.

I do have blank wrapped canvas that I bought from Michaels and Hobby Lobby that I plan to do something someday with them...you can thank Pinterest for that lol.
 
We don't have a lot. DS has his collection of ear hats in his bedroom and we have 8 framed attraction postcards on a floating shelving unit above the tv. Other than that, there is my Lego Disney castle in a recessed shelf along with my other Lego Creator buildings and we have a collection of tree ornaments that are only out at Christmas time.

DH wants to get a copy of the of the "Here you leave today..." plaque for our home as well.
