Do you make your bed while on vacation

[DoeWDW]

It's just a habit and the room looks so much better when it's made....it only takes a minute.

When we come back after a busy day it's nice to lay down on TOP of the comforter and not get all our grime on the sheets!

I am one of those who can't stand an unmade bed!!! I always feel it is like leaving your underwear on the floor! Yep, make it as soon as I get out of it both at home, and at OKW!!

I am too busy to bother with making my bed at home, but I do make it up while on vacation, LOL! I tend to have more visitors or guests coming by while on vacation and like the rooms to be nice and presentable.

I always make my bed when I get up, both at home and on vacation. I insist that anyone who stays in my room follow the same pattern that I do, since it's my room. I refuse to share my accommodations with my one daughter, who has never made a bed in her life, except under duress from me. Her room always looks like a tornado went thru--if she's been in a room for 4 days, there will be 4 pairs of undies, 4 bras, and 4 sets of dirty clothes on the floor. So she pays for her own space on vacation, and I'm happy

Why????? Because I love the way the color of the comforter and pillows bring out the beauty of the room.

I always make up the bed. I change very few of my personal habits while on vacation. The notable exceptions are that I drink "adult beverages" while on vacation (with Disney tansporatation there's always a designated driver), I stay up waaaaaay past my usual 11 pm and I have A LOT more fun.

There is no way I could get away with it while rooming with my mother. While I am in the bathroom she is always making the breakfast (OKW) and makes the bed. It is nice to come back to your hotel room with the bed made.

Thanks mom!

I am glad to see I am not the only one who does not make the beds at home. After growing up in a must make the bed household, I never thought I would not make the beds on a daily basis. But, life happens and with 2 kids, 3 counting DH who gets up after I have gone to work the beds have fallen down the priority list. I am sure if we did not have the bedrooms upstairs it would have stayed up higher on that list. Funny, but other than the beds everything else is always in its place(just ask my kids, they think I am a nut).

So when we are at WDW, I do make the beds and keep everything picked up. Even when we have maid service I keep everything picked up. I guess I just like being able to come back to a room where things are in order.

With DVC having limited maid service my wife makes me help here make the beds. No as for the kids forget it.

I make the bed but not using the comforter.

In one-bedroom units and larger, usually after the first night, the comforter is folded and placed on the top shelf of the closet, not to be seen or used again.

I take the extra blanket and sheet out of the closet, double up the blanket (I get cold at night), place the top sheet over both blankets, fold the top portion of the existing top sheet over everything, safety pin the sheets together accross the top (I bring my own everywhere), and tuck everything in on the bottom. My very own make-shift duvet cover - so nothing but clean sheets touch my body! I got the idea from my Mom who got it from a 5 star resort that did this for all the beds.

In the morning, I pull everything up and cover the bed and pillows and tuck in the edges under the bed. The top surface is then nice and clean to dump and fold clean laundry on.

If we stay in a studio, then I would probably pull the comforter up over the bed in the mornings to make the bed, since people tend to sit on the bed during the day in their "outdoor" clothes. Yuck!

Yes, my DH thinks I'm finky, but you should see my Mom!!!

Forget it! Why make a bed that nobody else is going to see?

 

[madcoco]

DW does it. She doesn't trust me to do it. At home when trying to help out,she has to redo it. Why? Where is the remote? Under the covers. Where are your socks? Under the covers. Where is the cat? Oops under the covers.

 

[Desperado]

Yep. We make our bed.

There's just something more welcoming and comfortable about a made bed. Ditto the bottom sheet.

Shoot, I don't make my bed at home unless we are expecting company. I am just going to get back in it that night, anyway!
