Christmas Tree Help.....
I was just looking at WDW Florist for a small tree for our resort room
and they had two but they were $200.00-$300.00 YIKES!!!!!!!!! Are there anyother sites out there for Christmas time stuff? Or is my best bet to buy a small table size tree and stuff to go with it and just ship it down there a week or so from when we will be there? Comments? Thank You Kindly.

Re: Christmas Tree Help.....
My opinion would be to bring your own.
You can get a fiber optic tree for $20.00 at Target around the holidays.

Re: Christmas Tree Help.....
I would just ship my own ahead of time Franco, save the money for other stuff, like some nice new Disney ornaments.

Re: Christmas Tree Help.....
Boy, I am so torn about this. I totally want to get the disney tree. It just seems like an opportunity that I can't pass. I don't know if we'll be going back during the christmas season or not, since DD will be entering school next year (I have no problem taking her out of school, but DH may).
But, in the end, I guess that kind of money is definately spent better elsewhere!

Re: Christmas Tree Help.....
Hi Franco,
Yep, it is a hard decision. We did decide on doing it. This will be the last time we are down there for christmas. My DD will start middle school next year and will be on a traditional schedule, so no taking her out for 2 weeks. With that being said, If you have the ability to buy one, then I would, but if you have ANY doubts, don't do it. They are pretty and I love the fact they will set it up and ship it home if you want. My kids will be so surprised when they walk in and a christmas tree has appeared. But you know your budget, so go with that. With whatever you choose, it's still Disney!!!

Re: Christmas Tree Help.....
OK-stupid question of the day....Are the trees real or artificial? And, they're about 4 feet tall right?

One little branch that bends over when you hang the ornament. It's a classic. And it AIN'T $200-$300 for cryin' out loud!

Re: Christmas Tree Help.....
Holy mama! That's an expensive tree!
Could you possibly buy one of the small $10 from Wal-Mart and stuff it in an extra suitcase?  Kind of a nutty suggestion, but it would sure save you a lot of money....and those small ones are just the right size for a tabletop. (I should know, it's all we had last year in our crappy Anaheim motel room.  )

Re: Christmas Tree Help.....
We bought a cheap fiber optic table top tree and used it in our room last year at Christmas. We even had room to bring it back with us. We will take it back with us again this year. If we have room to bring it home, we will, otherwise we will leave it behind. Hopefully someone else can use it and enjoy it. The way I look at it that we spent $10 on it the day after Thanksgiving. I couldn't even buy a real tree in Northern Michigan for $5.00 a year. They were usually $7-10.

Re: Christmas Tree Help.....
from what i was told, they are real. they are about 4ft tall, and you get to keep all the ornaments on it.
