What to do with themed room decor post-cruise?

[NEGeekymama]

We recently (2/25) went on a Pixar Day at Sea sailing, and since I had enough Disney Rewards points I went ahead and got the PDAS room decor package. I'm definitely keeping the pillow cases and beach towel, but I have no idea what to do with the other items, let alone where to put them. For reference, there's two magnetic string decorations, a door magnet, and a magnetic ship decoration. There's also a window cling that everybody (at least those with a window) got.

Any suggestions? I don't necessarily just want to throw them away, but I'm also not incredibly emotionally attached to them nor do I envision myself packing them for whenever we go on our next Disney cruise.

If you haven't joined a meet group yet, maybe do that and see if anyone wants the other items?

It’s garbage. I would take the lesson not to buy in future and spread the word. Like popcorn buckets and other nonsense….an environmental waste.

We were (and still are) in a group; I'll definitely post there.

We still use our popcorn buckets we got at WDW (in 2019 and 2021), with the added bonus of taking them on a DCL trip to get the refill price.

Also, maybe your room steward might like a decoration for his or her cabin?

We bought the birthday decorations a few years ago. We keep them packed neatly and have brought them on several other cruises when someone in our party was celebrating a birthday. They’re still just as much fun, and have always been appreciated.
And I’ve lost count of how many popcorn refills we’ve gotten with the same bucket over the years (well into double digits). That has to be better for the environment than throwing out a new paper one each time.

We have reused decorations for birthday celebrations at home or on the cruise. We have gotten lots of additional joy out of them over the years.

I'd throw them up on a "buy nothing" page and see who is interested.

I had mine slapped on my fridge until we moved over time my kids beat some up and we tossed them but when I moved I threw out the bigger ones. My husband and I decided to cruise with DCL more often so I'll start saving them now. I cruise often anyways on girls trips and such so I have a drawer in my dinning room that is where I store cruise stuff. I'll probably just start putting the magnets in the bottom of the drawer now that we are going to do Disney cruises more often.

I'd say if you don't have any plans of cruising in the near future and don't plan to reuse them I'd get rid of them. Toss them, offer them in garage sale type groups, or maybe offer them to teachers if they don't have names and such on them. Like the hats people make for the door number would be mighty cool over a clock or something in a classroom.
