LOVE seeing all the wonderfully decorated windows. The purple above is gorgeous!!

I'm planning a pirate themed window at POFQ for our stay. It will be the first time we've decorated a window.

So far I have:

Pirate Party Birthday banner
Mickey Head paint chips from Home Depot
gold coins/beads
jolly roger flag

Any ideas are appreciated!!

This thread has given me a lot of great ideas! Thanks everyone! Never thought about using suction cups, will have to go out and look for those before we leave so I can use them for the window decorations I've made. :woohoo:

So many great ideas! I've never seen a door or window decorated while staying at DW. I'm definitely going to come up with something for my honeymoon and surprise my fiance'!!!!

We celebrated my DD's birthday on our recent trip (7/30-8/6) at French Quarter. We decorated the windows with a Tiana/Princess and the Frog theme:

We'll be staying at POFQ in a few months and I was wondering where you got the Princess and the Frog Window Decals? Your window display is so beautiful!!!!!!!:goodvibes

JessietheNCCowgirl

08-08-2011, 06:42 PM

Hi Brandi,
Thanks for the compliment. I actually ordered the decals from amazon.com (type in Princess and the Frog Wall decals in the search box). They are wall decals that are removable and reusable. We had to hang them from the outside of the window since they are only sticky on the backside, but they came off easily and didn't leave any residue (I checked with a small decal before I hung them all up). I was also surprised that they stayed on the outside of the window with all the Florida humidity - I thought they'd curl up and fall off, but we didn't have any problems.

I hope you have a wonderful trip! :banana:

Where did you find Mickey Pirate themed pictures? We are staying at the CBR around Halloween so I love this idea!

Wow some of these are so good looking how can you pass up an opportunity to decorate and make it that more special? Anyway, we are going in December and staying in a preferred room at ASMo- does everyone have 2 windows and are the doors metal?

we've always put the things we've bought at WDW on our trip in our window so by the end of the trip its full of all sorts of stuff. But now seeing this thread I have ALL new plans for this year!! Gotta get to walmart or something asap and start planning

I decorated our door and the patio door of our room at the Poly. I am not a very creative type of person, so I am looking forward to seeing other peoples pictures so I can do a better job next year. I tell you, having a decorated door / window makes finding your room much easier! Our last name is Giek (pronounced Geek). I figure, if you have a name like that, you have to have fun with it or your life will be miserable. I am also a school teacher so you can imagine the looks I get when parents find out their teacher's name is Mrs. Giek!! :rotfl:

Our patio door. I just bought Hawaiian decorations from the dollar store. Remember, I am not that creative!!!

what did you use to stick the mickey heads to the door?

These are awesome. you guys are so creative :D

We will be staying at BLT this time around... would it be "appropriate" to have a door decoration there? I'm not overly concerned about people stealing the stuff... if they do they do.

This is so fun! I've never stayed on the property and I think we are going to October/Novemer of 2012 (looking at the "new" Art of Animation resort). Do you think decorating a window and/or door there would be appropriate?

3 Happy Haunts are Disney bound in just over 2 weeks. :banana::banana:

I have a folder filled with our window decorations so far things are a little spookier than I want, I keep telling DH that we're searching for whimsy at this point. WHIMSY!!!:rotfl: Also lights.

Anyone happen to know the dimensions for CSR?

Just stumbled upon this thread! WOW You guys are rockin these windows! I just finished laminating and cutting out my window decorations that I made, but after seeing these I NEED more stuff!!! Thanks for the inspiration LOL Does anyone know the size of the windows at All Star Movies? Are they the same as at POP? What about the Grand Floridian windows? Is it appropriate to decorate the the GF???

The lights were purple and orange and looked cool at night. The eyes in the lower left hand corner also blinked. My kids are older and we don't do whimsy very well anymore. :laughing:

*sigh* So sad we're not going to be able to go this October. It's just not in the budget this year, or next year. :sad:

Here is my window from Pop. I also put some magnets on the door. The one on the right says My First Visit. We were facing the lake on the 4th floor at Pop so I don't think a lot of people saw my window but I still enjoyed it. The lights were orange, purple and green.

I read in another thread that someone was ordered to take down their window decorations or be charged $100 per day. Does anyone know anything about this? I was hoping to decorate at POFQ but know I'm wondering if it's such a good idea.

Really!?! I was going to decorate at POFQ when we are there 11/25-12/3, hopefully someone can clear this up for us.

Do you have a link to the thread? I tried looking but I'm a newbie and did not find anything.

I called POFQ and spoke with Blanche. She said all she could only speculate the decorations might have been considered offensive or they might have had the potential to cause damage to the window.

She checked with the front desk. Decorating the windows is fine so long as the decorations are not offensive, not permanent, are removed by the end of your stay and do not cause damage.

Hope that helps. If you find the post I'd love to read it.

I love all the pictures on here, I'm super jealous of how creative you all are. I'm trying to come up with ideas for the window when my BF and I go down in May. He wants to do something Star Wars related because we're going to Star Wars weekend for the first time. He's a star wars fan, I've seen a few of them. It's proving to be a challenge.

Quick question, is there anything else people use to hang things on the windows? It seems like tape is avoided and suction cups are the way to go.

We decorated our window at Pop in May 2011 et Port Orleans Riverside in October 2011 and had no trouble. I used static window clings and at Riverside the mousekeeper added things to our window. ;)

I'm always cautious about adding our names, as a single mom with her kids, I'm not sure it's a good idea. I might be paranoid though. LOL! :lmao:

Has anyone done decorating in a BLT Grand Villa. I am having trouble thinking of areas to decorate. I plan to attach a banner to the sofa table in the living room, but not sure what else to do. The room will be so high up that no one will really see anything on the windows, except for us when we are in the room.

Here is a picture of our window from our January 2012 Trip 2-8. We used the Cricut Expressions 2 to cut out vinyl lettering and bought our cute Disney window clings from the Dollarama. It was easy and quick to put up and even faster to take down and left no marks on the glass once removed.

This will be a first trip to WDW for over half of us and I want to make it as magical as possible. I was wondering where you go to get clinging vinyl to cut out? Thanks so much for the inspiration everyone, and keep the photos coming!
