Its still in season though.

I hated them but I did and still do ignore them. They'll never take them down and there's nothing I can do about it.
Decorate...or don't whatever...but as someone that worked in hotel housekeeping departments to put herself through school....at least 50% of you that claim you clean up are probaly lying
Now don't get all defensive and say that you are not a liar, it won't make matters worse or better or make me think you are a saint
The problem is that these mousekeepers by standard only get 20- 30 mins to clean each non-suite room> I have only seen people use window paint at hotels...in my case here in Canada they have been usually high school sports or bands tour, they take a lot of time to clean up! The window clings to leave behind a dirty window, and as does the gift wrap tape (I know as I decorate my windows at home for Halloween and Christmas and use them) so these hardworking people probaly clean alot of window paint in a day by those that don't clean after themselves. That is not fair.
To me it is a pay it forward kind of thing not to decorate and to leave the rooms in imaculate shape with stripped beds and bagged recyclables and bagged garbage. Its a lot of work for me but if it saves the mousekeeper 15 mins in my room it kind of makes up for the messy rooms. I also tip.
Isn't disney all about paying it forward?
Those that make the window messes and don't clean it up are making an unpleasant day for a mousekeeper....to me that is worth having the fun banned....as nice and fun as the decorating seems, it is soooo not worth the time and effort to make someone elses day more difficult in the end
That being said, I do feel that paint or markers is too much because it can leave residue. Maybe you should get the window clings storage book from Current that keeps them clean and flat until the next year. I love mine! 
Not to mention anything from a cling or tape would come off with windex, and those windows should be wiped with some windex after being covered in teeny tiny fingerprints, do you not agree? 
As I have said before, I have taken down others tape etc before putting up my own decor, so mousekeeping isn't doing that stellar of a job on window cleaning anyways.
Also, I don't understand how tape and clings are making your windows dirty?
And at my job I have to do all sorts of extra work for people, even above and beyond my job description. Do I whine and cry about it? No. Because that's life. Either suck it up and do it or go find a new job.
I had a great time reading both sides of the issue. I agree that some extreme decorating looks tacky, but I don't find it distracting or that it cheapens the place or ruins the ambience for us. We don't go all out decorating our windows, but I do stick a few LGMH's in the window and not with tape, I either balance them between the ledge and the wooden blinds, or you can slip them into the window frame itself in some rooms. A few Diser's have noticed them (the reason we put them in the window in the first place; to identify us/our room as members of the Dis Boards) and acknowledged by hanging LGMH's with their Disboard name on them, on our door knob. I've done the same to rooms where I've noticed the LGMH's. It is a great way to meet up with other Disers staying at the same resort at the same time. It was a lot of fun to walk back to your room and find a LGMH hanging on your door and seeing who it was from. In fact, last time we were at Disney, (Sept/Oct 2007) when we came back to our room most nights, I'd walk the entire property checking each building, each door for any LGMH's that might be hanging and when I'd spot one, I'd put one of mine on their door knob. It was awesome!!
