IS Resort's Window Decor outdated??S?

[Miriade]

Hello, fellows DISers!
I was and I noticed there are few and fewer pics of guest decorated windows and doors...
As I'm going to WDW for the very first time in next September I really wanted to do everything I can to make these 20 days more magical than ever... and creating a personalised window and door decor for our rooms in the PO riverside , maybe with a change next to the MNSSHP at 09/14 was a thing I was considering...
Guests decorating rooms, doors and windows became demodèe and outdated???
TIA!

I've only heard of this practice, never actually saw it while staying at CSR, the Poly, ASSp and BLT. We saw the cutest towel animals in the window of an ASSp resort but I don't think a guest did that. What types of things do people put on their doors?

We were at Pop July 2-6 and saw many decorated windows. In fact, we decorated, too.

Hello!
Well, there's an old thread about photos of guest decorated mdoors and windows. I was so sad no new updates so I ewallt thought it was a past and abandoned trend

I am glad to know there are ppl who still try to make their rooms more like home and different from those hundreds of 'same' rooms!

Weren't they(WDW) purposing extra cleaning fees to those guests who left with heavily decorated windows?

We'll have 2 rooms at POP during Thanksgiving week and I'd love some ideas combining a Disney & Thanksgiving theme.

When we decorate our windows and door, we use gel gems, window clings, suction cup hooks, and magnet strips. None of those leave any marks or residue.

They were, but the only one I heard of getting it was someone who used a washable marker to write on her windows. They were meant for that use, but Disney did not like it. Probably too easy for some ding dong to get the same idea and use regular markers.

There were a TON of decorated windows at Pop last December!

We have gone the last 3 years and we have decorated our windows each time.It was fun to see people's reactions as we walked into the room. It was also very quick and easy to locate our room!
We will be there in Sept (CSR) and we plan to decorate again!
Good luck and happy planning.

I decorated my room at POR for the 4th of July! Mousekeeping even added to it, taking my American flags I had left on the table and having towel animals hold them! So cute!

This is what it looked like when I first did it....

Me with my window on the 4th!

And this is what it looked like after lovely Georgina (mousekeeping) added to it!

P.S. I thought I read somewhere on these boards that people were getting "in trouble" for using tape to decorate so I managed to do all of that with not one piece of tape, just in case! Didn't want to break the rules!

NikkiLovesWDW, You did a great job! What a nice tribute to our great Nation on it's birthday.

We have done our windows for the past 4 years and will do it this year too. Here is a more "active" board

When I do see this, it's usually at the value resorts or Fort Wilderness. The people at the campground can really decorate. They do a great job especially around holidays.

My aunt and uncle decorated their window when we were at Pop in June.

Lovely to hear and see ppl still decorate windows and doors!
I was planning to use suction holders in the glass and maybe some magic tape, easy to take off from glass, some magnets and strings to hold things and that's it...no hot glue or superbond
And I fully intend to take it all apart before leaving the room, no such thing as leave 'the mess behind'
As I never ever had the chance to celebrate Halloween I want to use this September vacation and our MNSSHP at 09/14 as the theme!
Thanks you all for the incentive!
