J&J I believe msim was referring to AP rates on the Monorail Resort hotels.
As for the decorations--there is a BEAUTIFUL gingerbread carousel in the lobby! The decorations are quite nice and I definitely recommend the Beach Club. It's one of my favorite locations--right at Epcot and MGM, just a short bus ride away from the other parks and just oh so convenient! Once you stay at one of the Epcot resorts you may find that you don't stay at a monorail resort quite as often!
