Yay for Christmas tree swap! Or whatever we are calling it. I would like to see that sign up list too. I don't think I saved it.

Im flexible between now and 20 - i dont have to keep it the whole time if someone is arriving soon and wants it

Can someone fill me on this Christmas tree thing? I was off lines for a while.

We are just passing around a tree to set up in the room :)

Last year a Liner had a Christmas tree for their resort room, offered it up to another Liner, and it was passed along for a good long while! It's back in circulation for this year, with a signup sheet.

Sounds fun. I didn't know if it had a storied history like "Dang Daddy" or the "Boob Sock"

Probably more like the pool noodles. If DisBoards tries to get our tree it's on like Donkey Kong!

Add me for September 3-20. If anyone wants it after the 10th I can give it to them, my kids leave then we move offsite. @ej I'm wondering if you and I can coordinate a place over on the forum. Last time I tried to get into POR, it was very strict
2:15pm on 8/5/25 by

POR isn't so strict if you are there to visit a particular guest.

Maybe it was the holiday or my uber driver but it was a crazy experience trying to drop off something for a friend. If they can't allow me in, I could boat from DS.

Got you @youcan. What hotel are you at onsite?
2:26pm on 8/5/25 by

{visions of carting a Christmas tree through Disney Springs}
2:29pm on 8/5/25 by
popupcamper
Sorry @youcan. I misunderstood. Yes dropping something is often restricted. But if x party is already checked in (whether you're seeing them or not) you can tell gate that you're there to see x family. Once you're in you can then drop off at bs.

@Totsy was already checked in to Poly, so I just drove up to the gate, gave her name ("I'm here for Totsypooh") and they let me in after checking the guest reservation name.

I think though @ej will have already checked out. I arrive on the third and I am moving around a lot. So I will be staying at the Swan reserve but then moving over to the boardwalk, and then we are moving over to Boulder Ridge.

I do think it would be kind of funny to actually be carrying a Christmas tree through Disney Springs but how big is this thing?
3:40pm on 8/5/25 by
youcanfly
After my family leaves on September 10 I would be offsite but I have a car so not a problem to meet with someone who would like to get it after that.
3:41pm on 8/5/25 by

It is about 4 feet tall? It is completely enclosed in a bright red Xmas tree bag with a handle on top, very lightweight, with an extension cord in bottom of the bag.
3:47pm on 8/5/25 by
Jennyhirsch
@youcan I'll head over to forum to coordinate with you! We leave on the 1st - is there a good place to leave it?
3:47pm on 8/5/25 by
ejhnstn
From what others are saying I might be able to get in but I am worried because by the time I get there you will be checked out. I'll head over to the forum and we can try to figure this out
3:56pm on 8/5/25 by
youcanfly
Wait.. I just saw @jenny say it's around 4ft! Now I'm really cracking up at the idea of taking this on a boat to DS and walking back to Orange or lime lot
4:08pm on 8/5/25 by
youcanfly
Lol. Maybe 3.5 feet? Taller than a yardstick. Lightweight. I'd try to get into POR lot first!
4:14pm on 8/5/25 by

Way to go Jenny! Great times ahead! Wow! Didn't think it was that big! Great times for this tree indeed! Thanks for doing this! Nothing like Xmas in October!! Xoxo!

I was about to say - can I see the link again so I can connect with whomever has the tree before me?
10:04am on 8/6/25 by
ejhnstn
@ej, if no one wants the tree between Aug 20 and Aug 28 (when you arrive), I will get it on Aug 23 and drop off again at a bell services on Aug 24 for you. Just feels better than leaving unattended for 8 days!
10:18am on 8/6/25 by
Jennyhirsch
Oh man, you already put us into the schedule for NY @ OKW! I'm SO HAPPY!
Now, to decide whether it's a surprise or I should let the family in on it. Sooo cool, THANK YOU!

First stop for the tree will be Kidani! Thanks @Jenny!

@pop, I'm over here cracking up bc the 'it's on like Donkey Kong' is one of my ASD DS16's favorite clip to play over and over. I must hear it at least 100 x a day!!!

Surprised there are no Christmas tree takers for November yet!

Tree is up! Kids adore it! Dd12 says she will crochet an ornament for it as the wood ones are all taken.
11:25pm on 8/6/25 by

Reminds me of the adventures of Kermit. He came all around with us so much fun for a few days and I got to meet another liner wheres wallie. Ds was younger so many great memories

Bumping the Christmas tree signup! @Totsy leaves the 23rd; @ejhnstn arrives the 29th. Anyone want it between those 2 dates? (Hoping to avoid me needing to do something with it in between times!)
12:21pm on 8/16/25 by
Jennyhirsch
The Google sign up doc is at the top of the Replies here, for anyone who wants to sign up at any time!
12:22pm on 8/16/25 by
Jennyhirsch
I leave the 20th actually! But im happy to handover now - we are checking into Riverside today and it will be there this afternoon.
12:33pm on 8/16/25 by
Totsypooh
If not do i just ask for it to be transferred to the next hotel in the name of the next guest? Thats kind of a big gap though
12:34pm on 8/16/25 by
Totsypooh
If no one else takes it, I am arriving at WL for Saturday night (moving DD into college before then). I can briefly take it into my custody and drop off for @ejhn again, just to shorten the time at a bell services.
12:40pm on 8/16/25 by
Jennyhirsch
Do you want me to send it to WL for you? You mean this coming sat right?
3:17pm on 8/16/25 by
Totsypooh
That would be great, to send to WL. Saturday, the 23rd!
3:41pm on 8/16/25 by

Ok ill text you the card tag
4:53pm on 8/16/25 by

I'll look for it! Thanks, @Totsy!
7:42pm on 8/16/25 by

Oh man!.I'm late to the party; my December dates are already claimed. If it's still going, I'll put in for next year.
10:26pm on 8/16/25 by

I would love to take it over Christmas! We won't have a car...how do I get it to OKW for DestinyCalled? Will bell services transfer?
