Unlimited Toy Rental for Christmas

I received a free trial membership to Pley to facilitate this review. All opinions are mine alone.

Can’t decide what to get our kids or grandkids this holiday season? Not only are we sharing some AMAZING gift guides later this week to give you the hottest ideas, but here’s an idea that doesn’t make you choose at all – how about an Unlimited Toy Rental for Christmas?!

Unlimited Toy Rental for Christmas / by BusyMomsHelper.com #ad Pley.com Toy Rentals

With the gift of a monthly subscription to Pley.com, your kiddos can choose different sets all month long! Imagine not having to store dozens of toys or spending hundreds a year on toys just to have them play with them once or twice then shove them aside for something new. Once you sign up, you can create your own ‘Pley List’ of toys your child(ren) would be most interested in, then go through and select some you’re wanting soon. There’s more than 400+ toys to choose from, such as simple-to-ultra-complex LEGO sets, hot robotic toys like BB-8 or Dash, or even Knex sets. We can’t wait to try some of their exclusive LEGO sets!

When you get your first kit, it comes in a nifty box – perfect for holding all your loose pieces in! It also includes a mesh baggie that holds and kit and manual, a bracelet (as you’re going around picking up pieces you can stick them to this instead of in your hand), and nifty tool that helps taking apart the kits. There’s also a sealable baggie that’s already paid for and addressed so you can pop all the pieces, tool and bracelet back in there to send it back!

My kids were THRILLED to get their first set, and had a blast working together to build it – even Hubby really enjoyed himself!

Unlimited Toy Rental for Christmas / by BusyMomsHelper.com #ad Pley.com Toy Rentals

It was so nice seeing their sense of accomplishment when it was all complete and ready for playtime!

Unlimited Toy Rental for Christmas / by BusyMomsHelper.com #ad Pley.com Toy Rentals

When they were done, we took apart the set, placed everything in the bag, sealed it, and away it went in the mail. As soon as Pley gets the notification that it’s on the way back to them, they send you an email so you can select the next set to come your way!

Unlimited Toy Rental for Christmas / by BusyMomsHelper.com #ad Pley.com Toy Rentals

With memberships starting at just $19.99 a month for a 6-month, you can receive, return, and repeat all month long! The Builder and Master plan offers unlimited toys per month. Children keep the toy as long as they wish, then place everything in the return package. Drop it in any US postal mailbox. Shipping is free (LOVE this part!!!) with all memberships.

Which playset from Pley.com would YOUR kiddos pick first?

Our Disneyland Rental House

May 22, 2019 by Kelly Dedeaux

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

I’m already missing our fantastic trip to California last month, and wishing we were to the point of planning another – like NOW! So much fun was had, and a large part of why was Our Disneyland Rental House. Plenty of space for 19 people, lots for the kids AND adults to do, conveniences like washing machines and extra towels, plus a huge resort pool made this a truly magical vacation!

Star Wars Galaxy's Edge

Now, Dea (the owner) has FANTASTIC photos of the house right here on the booking site – much better than my own photos! I wanted to really show it from my own personal experience, though, so am only using my own pics. Seriously, if you’re planning a Disney vacation, or just any Anahiem-area trip you will LOVE this home! Let’s start by looking at the bedrooms – there are EIGHT! Here’s the Cars room, with 5 twin mattresses, plenty of toys, it’s own TV and a little Mater play area. You can also follow the listing link to see available dates, and see the nightly rate for the dates you’re considering going.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

Again, please excuse the mess because we were on VACATION, meaning we let the kids play more than clean sometimes! There’s also a Princess-themed room that are girls truly enjoyed, also with 5 twin mattresses….

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

Those are both upstairs, along with this master bedroom that hubby and I slept in. It wasn’t huge, but the bed was plenty and the closet was just what we needed. No TV in this one, which I didn’t mind in the least.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

One of my sisters, being 19 and not married, was thrilled she got a room for herself – and it wasn’t all ‘kiddie’! (not that she’d mind, of course). No TV, but a really fun Hollywood theme for her!

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

The other ‘adult’ room upstairs is HUGE, with it’s own en-suite bathroom and open area with sofa. This was perfect for my adopted sis and her hubby, along with their two in playards/cribs.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

There’s a hall bathroom upstairs, as well – pretty basic, and I will say the shower head was super low making it a bit ‘eh’, but completely fine overall with plenty of cabinet space, and a stool for the kiddos.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

Here’s the view from inside the front door AND top of the stairs looking to the front door – so you get an idea of the layout a little, and see the nice open foyer.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

Downstairs there’s 2 more bedrooms – this one does not have a bathroom en-suite….

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

….this one does.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

There’s also a hall bathroom downstairs, but I didn’t get a picture – sorry! When you first walk in the front door, to the right is a media room that houses plenty of sofa space, a lounge chair PLUS a daybed (so could be used as a bedroom – just no ‘closing doors’). The video selection was excellent, plus games and gaming systems!

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

To the LEFT just inside the front door is the garage – which has been turned into an awesome game room with Foosball table, pool table, and couches.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

Since it came out the day before our trip, we HAD to have an Age of Ultron family movie night! Luckily straight inside the front door is the giant family room, with a huge and VERY comfy sofa, table, and even more chairs with rolling ottomans! Lots of quality time was spent here – as well as working time!

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

The kitchen wasn’t enormous, but plenty big for a few of us to maneuver around cooking meals. The dining room table could fit the vast majority of us (we had 19, if you include the babies) and highchairs.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

They also have a computer with internet (and wireless), as well as a printer. They make sure that the 2 linen closets are fully stocked with towels (downstairs) and linens (upstairs). Plenty for everyone!

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

And we had no problem doing laundry with the TWO sets of washer and dryers!

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

Now, how dare I mention a RESORT STYLE POOL without lots of pictures, right? I got a few when we weren’t using it….

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

…but you really can’t tell the size without people actually inside so….

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

The lazy river has plenty of room to float around in, and they have water shoes you can wear to protect your feet. There’s also LOTS of water toys and floaties! The floatie jacket/life vest type things you see our younger kids wearing in the pictures were ones WE brought, though, not provided by the house.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's HelperSee, it’s HUGE! We spent many, many hours in there – even took a day off of Disneyland/Legoland so we could fit in plenty of pool time. The kids were on the slide constantly, and the adults enjoyed it just as much as the kids! There’s also a nice hot tub to the side, which was great for evening relaxing.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

I love that the pool area was safely fenced off, especially since we had SO MANY kids with us!

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

There’s a nice little table/seating area just outside the kitchen (fenced off from the pool, so no worries about the kids) and an adorable playhouse! I don’t know how I didn’t get pics of that – but go look at Dea’s on the site.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

The neighborhood is very quiet, with nighttime ordinances, so don’t plan to go here and make lots of noise at night! We easily parked our 4 vehicles out front (including our Kia Sedona we got to try out!). We all loved the decorative touches, like the fabulous chandelier in the foyer that I wish I could find somewhere!

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

Dea, the house owner, was fabulous with responding to questions or concerns we had. She even set out the CUTEST welcoming gift for our family!

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

The kids are already asking to go back to this house on our next trip! The girls had plenty of room to do their homework while in their princess room.

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

We added our own ‘fun’ while we were there – creating these cute door markers for the bedroom doors! Yes, we’re a tad dorky, but we love it!

Our Disneyland Rental House / by Busy Mom's Helper

So here’s what you need to do now – go HERE and reserve your dates for this truly amazing house, then head to Get Away Today to set up your magical Disney (or Legoland, or Sea World – whatever!) vacation! Use Promo Code: BustMomsHelper for $10 off your vacation package. You’ll love it – just like we did!!!

Thanks so much to Dea for the fantastic vacation we had – can’t wait to stay here again!
