In Room Christmas Tree & Decorations

[Mkaiser1]

HI all,

Does anyone know of any companies exist that will come and decorate your room for you for Christmas and put a tree up too? We're staying over Christmas itself for 11 nights and can't be without a tree and some decorations!!

We had Disney floral deliver a mini tree a few years ago. They had a bunch of different packages for decorating your room.

Interesting question. We have done a DCL cruise over Christmas and a WDW stay over Christmas, both included Christmas Day itself. What we did in both cases was to bring a large Christmas tree tapestry and hang it in the room, as well as other decorations (a mini tree with little ornaments, strings of lights, and stockings). The room felt warm and festive without having a larger tree take of precious space in the room. We considered doing a real tree when we were at WDW, but we decided against it because of how much space the tree would take up and those rooms don't have unlimited space. The tapestry wasn't expensive via Amazon, and the mini tree was also pretty cheap at Michael's. Just a thought.

Thanks guys. I'm meeting someone on Teams shortly who has a decorating company. I'm going to see if they can go into our room before we arrive to decorate it and dress a tree. I'll keep the thread updated should anyone ever have a similar query.

I know a couple people have some foldable stuff in their Owner's Lockers. You could order a lot from Amazon Prime or Wal Mart delivery, if you want to DIY.

I don’t believe they will allow anyone into your room before you checkin (with the possible exception of Disney Florists) especially in case you ask to change rooms when checking in.

this seems like entirely too much work to me

Yep. That’s why we did the tapestry and just a few decorations. And an actual tree would take up way to much valuable space, IMO. But to each their own.

We participated in the old tree exchange once. Once. Agree it was just a lot of work and all you have to do is walk out into the resort or parks and get Christmas decor all over. Switched to some string lights and garland on top of the furniture under the TV. Just enough and super simple.

Were you successful with getting a tree in your room? We will be there over Christmas wand would like to use a service like this as well.

I totally agree! I started a light collection - all with white strings. My orange lights for Halloween were a big hit and I was able to get some decorations at $ store in FL. We usually have a 1 BR at OKW so I hang the lights around the entry mirror and put decorations on the shelf. I have white lights for the May trip and will buy some florals. I haven't figured out the color for September yet LOL!

My husband is giving me a look because he knows these discussions are making me think: is a second owners locker worth it so that I can have decorations…? ;-)

At Christmas a few years ago, we had a small fiber optic tree with some decorations delivered by Amazon. We then set it up on the table in our room.

I've been told WDW won't let people in our room before us due to Covid, which is totally understandable. I've resorted to this: I'm allowing one suitcase of decorations. I'm hoping to squeeze in a small fake tree, some garlands, some fake snow and lots of lights. My wife has no idea. I would go down the route of an owners locker for sure, but this isn't our usual period of travel and is a complete one off. We're also staying for almost 2 weeks in GV and can't bear the thought of no tree or decorations in our room!!

If you REALLY want to be crazy, you can use shipgo.com to ship a box to the resort (via FEDEX or UPS). You can buy a 20% GC on their site now for future use.

I packed anything heavy, snacks and decorations in a large suitcase which shipgo arranged to FEDEX to AKV in October and it arrived a few days before we did. The folks at the desk happily retrieved it for us at no charge and refused a tip! It cost $105 with discount, but it enabled us to fly with one carry on, a tote bag and a backpack. We moved to OKW for a long stay after a couple days and then opened the suitcase. Tip: you must use a TSA approved lock.

I went to the Celebration PO and bought three of the one price boxes and shipped all our Halloween stuff back home. I shipped a $ store kids scissor and roll of packing tape to FL with my other stuff, so I wasn't scrambling to pack it up. In fact I was able to share my scissors and tape with some ladies at the PO who were doing the same LOL! It's not the cheapest strategy but it worked and I will do it with every trip!
