Of this, I am sure (see timelapse video of them assembling it) & it is undeniably cute. The Frozen Gingerbread display, however, literally falls flat (in videos and pics) without that reach-out-and-touch-it 3D aspect other displays have. I think most of us were just hoping for something more unique.

I really hope someone from TDO is paying attention to this. That guests DO notice the details and the details are why we all became Disney fans in the first place. Otherwise it's just another simulator, coaster, dark ride, drop tower or show.
If nothing else, this forum has gotten me to really examine the details in what I do (in a non theme park environment) closer and strive for BETTER. To realize that our guests/ customers do notice the details and if you're not sold out for your "product" don't expect anyone else to be.
People may not know what makes something great, or even know how to achieve it, but they know when they've seen it.

You know, wonder if they are doing something similar now. All of the lights on the exterior are currently dark. Was really strange and it really stood out to me.

Also, with so many imagineers, big wheels, and Disney legends (Sklar, Gurr, Baxter, others) at the Contemporary this weekend for the D23 event looking back at the past, I hope someone noticed the lack of exceptionalism that now exists there compared to the past. If those folks can't inspire them to remember it and go back to doing it, I don't know who can. (Yes, I know that they are all "retired," but they also still have connections and are admired by many of the young guard I would think.)

The initial build of the wreath was charged to BLT construction. I can only assume it may have needed a refresh for which there was no money in the budget.
Where have I heard that one before

Great, since that BAH is coming down I'm now imagining the Chinese theater with a Santa Hat. But that's for another thread.well they could put a santa hat on the BAH?
Don't worry folk, for every improvement made there is an equal and opposite reaction somewhere on property. The balance must be kept.

maybe we'll get lucky and they'll put the BAH on top of Spaceship Earth?

Everyone realizes. There has to be budget, time and most important, the will from someone to get it done. We'll see more decorations again in the future.

My local mall is more decorated than that.
And to think how well Christmas (um, excuse me, "Holidays") matches so well with "music" as for a theme. You would think that you would see decorations of carolers holding music books (or hymn books) in a music-themed resort... Maybe even a little drummer boy... or, for the "all star" theme, some framed pics or posters of famous classic singers' Christmas albums (say, Elvis' Christmas album, Amy Grant's, Bing Crosby's, Frank Sinatra's, etc.). Just my thoughts of what I might have expected in creativity and theming for that resort.

Of all the resorts, the Contemporary should update the decorations the most. A Mickey outline covered in outdoor carpeting is not very contemporary. Nor, I guess is Tomorrowland very futuristic. This points out a weakness in the company's or perhaps our own ability to have a vision for the future and the reaction to contemporary trends is slow.
