How to Disney-up the offsite rental?

[05ChristmasSurprise]

We are staying offsite in a vacation home and I'd like to bring a little Disney magic to our kids/friends in the house.

We are already planning to bring little toiletries that are decorated in Disney themes, and plan to bring the kids Disney toothbrushes and toothpaste, and I found a box of mickey tissues.

What else can we do for our (adult) friends?

I'd really like this to be special for them.
Thanks!

Have you already booked a home? The house we had 12/04 had two kids bedrooms that were Disney decorated. One was Pooh and one was Mickey/Minnie. Both had twin beds. I've seen several homes advertised with Disney-themed rooms that might be a good starting point for you.

If you are going at Chrismas get a small xmas tree and Disney ornaments. Go to ebay and search "lot Disney ornaments"
And bring along some Disney towels for the bathroom.

Buy everyone Disney slippers, like Pooh, or Mickey heads. Great fun for the adults. Pack coffee cups with Disney themes or characters. Downtown Disney even sells Mickey head sugar cubes! I know, I know....I get carried away!

Someone posted that Dollar Tree had Mickey and Minnie nightlights a few weeks ago. I picked up a couple for our rental home.

I imagine you have a pool home, so Disney pool floats and beach towels are easy to buy ahead of time.

Put some Disney plushes on the beds before the kids get to their rooms.

I found some small Disney kids activity books at Walmart for the kids with stickers in them for waiting in line, or you could just get stickers at the Dollar Tree or a Scrapbook store.

For the adults, you could pick up coffee mugs or some pretty Mickey stemware from the homestore at DD. I think the martini and wine glasses run about $7 each and the mugs and pint glasses $9 each. They also have cheap plastic cups for around the pool.

For the gals, those zoppini charm bracelets with a character charm are pretty reasonable on ebay, and then they can shop for more charms for themselves at Disney.

Bring some Disney music CDs, not sure, but they have to have something instrumental that the adults would like too.

Bring a classic movie or two like Mary Poppins, Snow White or Peterpan. You could pop it in while having breakfast & coffee. I bet the adults will like it too.

Get some Disney brochures and maps or travel books and leave them out on the counter so that everyone can look at them.

I saw a book at the bookstore about hidden Mickeys that looked fun for everyone and maybe a biography on Walt or a book on the history of Disney for those like me who like the boring stuff, LOL.

Hope this helps. Have fun!
