This thread has been so helpful for those of us who truly enjoy decorating and personalizing our rooms at Disney!! Last fall we stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter and one of our granddaughters favorite memories was helping to decorate our windows AND coming back to our rooms after at a day at the parks and being able to spot our rooms right away due to the halloween lights. In fact, when we traveled to DDD on the launch we would see many rooms lite up at night in festive halloween colors.
We were very careful to use no tape or problematic adhesives and to leave our rooms and the windows as we found them. I had read about using timers on the lights on the DIS and this worked wonderfully! We timed our lights to be on for the time when we came back from the parks and off during any other times - our rooms were facing the garden and folks walking by would comment on how much they really liked our window decorations and halloween lights. In fact, some people heard about our windows and would take a detour to check them out! We had two rooms decorated - our room and our daughter and her family's room. I know some folks disagree and feel that it impacts the "ambiance" of the hotel - each to their own...
The very talented folks from Creative DISigns (special thanks to RustManFan/Marion and bababear/Mel) played a huge part in making our windows look as wonderful as they did - how kind and generous of them to take time from their day to add so much
pixie dust to so many DIS enthusiasts WDW vacations!
