Missing Mickey Christmas Wreath at Contemporary?

Such a horrible reason behind this.. Looks to be a cheap budget cut from the Resort's GM. Apparently the wreath takes a few rooms out of inventory for support and the resort would rather have the income. (Yet I cant figure out how this could be true..) Believe it or not, up to you all. :-/ Disappointing though..

I could be completely wrong here, but, just from memory the wreath isn't anywhere near a room. All the rooms face West and East. This was located in the center of the side which contains nothing but air. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It's tethered to guest room balconies. Which then renders those balconies uninhabitable, therefore the rooms have to be take out of circulation.

Oh please. No one was offended by the stupid wreath!
Yes it's a shame the wreath is not there but there are no PC reasons behind it. The whole place (WDW) is brimming with Christmas decor everywhere! I hardly think one big wreath makes a difference.

Actually, this article shows the tethers and they are connected to the exit stairways, not guest rooms.

At first glance I thought those were guest rooms. Hmm, check another excuse off the list then.

The quote below is post #7...
What part of that application requires working from the roof. Didn't I see pictures of staging being used and that it was fastened about half way up the building? If they couldn't put that up, then they couldn't wash the windows or replace broken glass or do maintenance to the window assemblies. Nope, not buying it. It is a convenient excuse though. Blame it on the State of Florida.

Halfway up the building is still working at heights...

Honestly it just sounds like the typical find whatever excuse they can that sounds good and say it's that when it probably isn't that at all. If it was about not having the funds, seriously? This company not being able to afford ANYTHING boggles my mind. I know they're cheap but no one can seriously ever buy they can't afford to do something.

Interesting you mention washing windows, the new Health and Safety rules were the reason that window washing was significantly delayed at BLT. It's very believable that the same issues were involved here.

Yes, I know but people have to work at "heights" all the time. No law can prevent the need to maintain things that are above arm level. It might be an excuse, but it isn't a valid one.

As I said in a previous post, it may be an excuse, but it isn't valid. How do they put or take down the decorations on the castle? That is higher then even the top of the Contemporary.

Even though this company has an insane amount of money, resorts have their own budgets are rarely get supported funds from any other accounts. There have been severe budget cuts among the resorts Line of Business and the effects are showing in the resorts' monthly performance scores. But will anyone do anything? No, because the company has enough money overall that its not enough of an issue to make a negative impact. But that's another topic to discuss elsewhere..

That's very true. I sometimes don't consider each resort having their own budget and having to work within that.
