Hi Jill, and welcome to planDisney!
Disney World is the most magical place to celebrate a birthday and decorating your resort hotel room adds that extra bit of pixie dust!
I some digging, and there doesn’t seem to be an official rule on decorating windows and doors at
Disney World Resort hotels. But when I stayed at
Port Orleans Resort - Riverside in the past, I saw many windows and doors decorated for birthdays and
runDisney races. So, when you arrive, you might want to check with the front desk just to be sure.
Seeing those festive decorations always made my stays more magical… and also helped me find my way back to the room on more than one occasion! While I haven’t decorated my resort hotel room, I have added flair to my
golf cart at
Fort Wilderness. If you decide to bring decorations, I’d suggest making sure they can be removed without damage. Painter’s tape and suction cup hooks have worked well for me in the past. I’ve also seen guests use window clings or line up their plushes on the window sill.
Since you’ll be at Port Orleans Resort, I have to mention the unique entertainment! I love catching
Yehaa Bob Jackson at Riverside’s
River Roost lounge and the jazz performers at French Quarter’s
Scat Cat’s Club. And you can’t stop by
French Quarter without grabbing some
beignets!
Wishing you a memorable birthday celebration at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
