How Trashy Do You Let Your Room Get?
I'm kind of a neat freak when it comes to my resort hotel room. But I've seen rooms that look like a tornado went through them. OK, I admit I peek when doors or curtains are open. How many of you neaten up your room before leaving for the parks each day? And how many just let the dirty socks fall where they may?

I can't stand to live in a messy house so the same goes for a hotel room. I'm not saying I scrub the place down but we certainly empty our trash and organize stuff as we stay in the room to make sure 1) we don't lose anything important and 2) it just looks nicer.
I'm thinking this year about taking a foldup laundry hamper with us - it only cost $5.00 at Walmart and it folds flat. That way we can throw our dirty clothes in it all week and not just keep throwing it in a suitcase on the floor.

It makes me nervous to live in clutter, so I've gotten to organize and straighten up each day. It makes it so much easier to find things

We straighten up somewhat (nothing like what I do at home). The biggest mess is on the small table in the room. All the check in papers, park maps and useless receipts seem to collect on the table.

The kids always want to bring their Disney stuffed animals on our trip. So I bring them down in the laundry hamper, and then empty it out and that's where our dirty clothes go.
Then the animals always end up in the window/ curtain or watching tv when the maid visits.

I must confess that I like a neat room too. The only thing left even slightly messy is the bed because one of the best things about being on vacation is that someone else makes the bed!

We have traveled several times with my sister, her husband and 3 boys and their room is always a mess! You cannot see the floor in there. That would drive me crazy!!
I try to be as neat as possible on vacation, but we are not extremely tidy. I guess we just try to keep everything in its place. Since we always drive and I do laundry mid-week, I bring a laundry basket and all dirty clothes go in there. We try to keep the bathrooms counters clear so we bring a hanging organizer to put personal items. Usually all receipts go into a folder and spare change goes into my husband's clothing drawer. I try to straighten up the room each day so that the housekeeper can get in and vacuum the floors.

Good idea. We always travel with a fold up hamper (it folds to nothing in the suitcase). The room is always organized and relatively clean (you can tell that there are people staying in it) -- often there are towels or swimsuits hanging either over the shower, or the coat rack...But we leave the room the way that we would leave our home. I certainly don't expect anyone to be collecting my garbage, or moving my dirty clothing out of the way. Other than making the beds and cleaning the bathrooms, I think there is very little to do in our room as a rule.

I always straighten up the room too. When we first get there, I empty the suitcases and put all the clothes in drawers or in the closet. Our dirty clothes go in a bag in the suitcase every night. We always stay at the Poly, and it seems like the couch ends up being the catch-all. I always take a sweep for garbage before heading out too. I don't make the beds though-like others, that's the only week out of a year that I don't have to make beds!

We always straighten up the room before we leave for the day and again in the evening, mainly to make sure that we don't lose anything. It's easy for personal items to get taken away with bed linens by mistake. So we make sure nothing but the bedding is left on the beds (but I never make the beds). We put our personal effects away, in drawers or suitcase. We tidy up a bit, toss away trash and recycling, etc. I'm not adverse to clutter, but you're already living in a small enough space in a hotel room, so why not keep it neat and make it seem like more space?

1) We normally keep our rooms neat and usually tidy.
2) However, the "clean gene" never made it to the kids and grandkids.
3) They have raised Messy to an art form.

I am a neat freak...but I also try to keep in mind that I am on vacation and I do not need to stress my family out with be overly neat. I do keep the clothes in a hamper bag when dirty and in the dresser when clean. We also keep out toiletries all nice and neat on the counter with toothbrushes in a cup. Other than that there may be a few toys here and there...I mean come on it is a 400 square foot room that I cram 5 people into...how neat can it really be?

In general I like tidy living areas but on vacation where you have to put more people in smaller spaces being tidy is an absolute must.
But there is no way, no how that I'm making the beds. That's why I take Mousekeeping envelopes with green stuff inside.

That's a good idea, we would always bring an empty garbage bag for dirty cloths but that sounds good too.

I can't stand a mess, whether at home or away, so I always straighten things up before we leave. We bought a travel hamper before our last trip and I loved it, although I think I'll need two this time.

We are neat freaks and even when we go away on vacations. So our room in wdw is always neat and straightened up. We always have everything organized and we leave NO trash around anywhere but the trashcans. I can't live in a messy house, let alone a small hotel room.
Been there, Haven't done it all...GOING BACK!!!
Next trip "Home" - September 3-10th 2016 at the Beach Club Resort! Giannas 1st trip to WDW!!!

I am probably more organized and neater in my room than I am at home!! I always have my DS's pick up after themselves with the warning that they don't want to lose/misplace/leave anything behind upon check out.
And before we leave for the parks, the sofa bed is always made and put away and our bed is quickly made.
