Ways to make your room feel more cozy and less chaotic

Here is my confession...  I am OCD and like to have some order in my life.  Sometimes it feels crazy when your on vacation with all the stuff you "have to take" with you and the tiny space you try and cram it all into.  Value resort rooms are not large but how much time are you really spending in your room?

I have been gathering some idea to make a value resort feel like a comfy happy home.  So far here is my list of todos:
  • Hand soap pump dispenser (decorated in Disney style)
  • Pop up clothing hamper
  • Storage containers 
    • For stuff on the counter 
    • To bring food back to the room in (the to go boxes don't work well in a backpack)
  • Dish soap
  • Sponge
  • Laundry Soap (don't plan to have to use it but you never know if that one thing you forget to pack is going to mess with your whole plan also we will have some driving days in our trip so having enough may bet a little tough just due to the length of time we will be going)
  • Consider either a hanging shoe rack or sweater rack to help give stuff a place to call home 
  • Charging Station
    • Basket for all the chargers to be located
    • Pack a surge strip so you can plug everything in
    • Separate Battery chargers that will charge your extra batteries in the afternoon
  • Suction cup hooks for wet stuff in the shower
On a side note we will be spending 2 days driving down and 3 days driving back, I am planning on packing separate bags for all three sections of the trip.  Since it will just be the two of us and both of us tend to pack our toiletries in a backpack we should be able to have one night/day in the backpack and then maybe a separate combo small bag for the second travel night, then 2 bags for Disney and one bag on the way back.  That way we don't have to unpack the entire car just to find our socks.
After about 30 Seconds in the room with a large group not my preference .
