I find the lack of decor at Whispering Canyon particularly appalling because it’s basically in the WL lobby, which is lavishly decorated in December. The restaurant suffers AND anyone entering the hotel is distracted by the entire left side being barren. Bad show.

Exactly. The fact that it is so visible from the lobby should be more than enough reason to decorate it. Although it shouldn’t even matter. It should be decorated regardless.
Poly has the same problem with Kona, Ohana, and Tambu. And even Riverside where everything is missing down the corridor beside the lounge and Boatwrights and in the food court.

I’m just trying to figure out where they’re trying to save money with this. Less labor hours for install nights? They have a whole warehouse full of decorations they buy in bulk so I can’t imagine the savings there is significant, but who knows. Just sad they got rid of EVERYTHING instead of just scaling it back a bit if they really thought necessary. This extra bits of garland can’t be breaking the bank.
Ill write my yearly complaint to GR if anyone wants to join me guest.services@disneyworld.com

Is there nothing for Blizzard Beach this year or am I too early?
They don't even have the present themed floaties and I can't imagine why they wouldn't at least have those so I'm guessing I'm too early but can't find anything about it coming up.

It’s definitely going to be manpower/overtime savings. If it’s not behind a separate paywall or microtransaction then they really have no incentive to do it.
People, people… you have to stop holding Disney to the standards they used to have, the ones they themselves set. Stop complaining about what they used to do vs what’s going on now and being so stuck in the past.
Just be happy Disney is graciously providing you the opportunity to be activated and spend an additional $169+ for a Christmas party at MK or an additional $149+ for “Jollywood Nights” at DHS.

They haven’t really decorated the water parks in years…

I'm not expecting decorating. Last year they had Santa, the present floaties, and gingerbread decorating, though.
And I could swear there was at least one more specialty food item (not the peppermint milkshake).
Edit: There was also snope near the "sled shop".

Decorating Blizzard Beach, in particular, seems like a missed opportunity to me. 
They have the themed mini-golf right there, snow/winter themed water park…

sent in my two cents to the standard guest relations email...but how do we write that particular person directly or the resort itself directly?
I think it’s Jeff.vahle@disney.com.

I wouldn’t call that baffling. It just means you have no idea what they’re going to do with that space.

based on the last 4 years other than sometimes being used as an activity space it’ll sit roped off 95% of the time
Was it decorated last year? If not, I think it’s fair to assume they have some kind of plan for the space, at least for the holiday season.

We know exactly what spaces like Whispering Canyon Cafe and Grand Floridian Cafe are going to be used for and we know they can’t be bothered to decorate them anymore.
