HOLY MOLY. this is the best thread i've come across on this board yet.
here's the deal with us. we're going to disney to celebrate christmas and one of my daughter's birthday. so, BIG DEAL for our family.
the day we check into our resort, im going to sneak upstairs while my kids are distracted by the insane amount of stuff to check out at pop century. while they hang out with daddy i'm going to high tail 'er up those stairs like a bat out of hell and play santa in our room. i have no idea what i'm going to do yet, but here are some ideas:
- hang string across the room in long, long pieces. with tape that is very gentle and won't damage the walls, of course. paint clothespins to look like mickey mouse. hang the clothespins on the 'clothesline' holding disney pictures, colouring sheets, cards, cut outs, etc.
the link to the mickey clothespins is here...number 5 in the list:

- throw christmas confetti all over their beds and the floor. now, the housekeeper would probably freak over this, lol, but i will clean it up shortly after the kids get their thrill off it. the thought of SANTA bringing christmas party confetti to the room will tickle them pink.
- attach *something* to the door to our resort room where people will (hopefully) write christmas and/or birthday messages for us.
- hang red and green steamers - like i said above, using very gentle tape so i don't damage anything.
- we have a small christmas tree, a very miniature one, that i might bring to put on our table. and get the kids to make homemade disney christmas ornaments during the days leading up to our trip.
- throw some balloons all over the place
- our local dollar store has a TON of cheapie christmas decorations so i'll check them out tomorrow.
- hopefully make this the best darn christmas/birthday my kids could ask for
