Jen and disneycruising, Where did you get your magnet paper? I've got the designs picked out, but I'm not sure whether I should buy magnet paper and print them on that or print and laminate them and buy the adhesive magnet paper.
Fortunately, we're surprising the kids or I bet my DD would pick out 10 of them for herself. I bought shirts to iron on transfers but DH saw what I was up to and nixed a personalized shirt for himself. He is a little alarmed by the magnets and FE too. Party pooper!! Think maybe I will find a Grumpy magnet for him and make a shirt with just the great logo that Marci did.
We just paid in full, and I am hoping that all of the Palo times will not be booked when we can finally do that this week! Still debating about shore excursions. Atlantis is soooo expensive especially since my older 2 would be considered adults, and there's not likely to be any Comfort Suites deal on New Year's Eve. Even if there were, there are 5 of us. Since this is our first cruise, I am tempted to just stay on the ship on the Nassau day.

Laurie, we got our magnet paper at Staples, 5 for $18 (CAD), I had another pack at home with 4 sheets on it - I'm thinking we will definitely need to cut down on the DISigns that we picked, I don't think I have enough magnet sheets for everything (and I don't think we'll have a door big enough to fit it all anyways!)
I'm planning on printing most of the magnets on the sheets, then I was going to do the door number ears on photo paper, then glue them to the leftover cutoff magnet pieces that we'll probably have from cutting out the shaped magnets.
I'm in the same boat - DH is rolling his eyes at all the stuff I'm doing (we're spending most of the Christmas holidays in WDW, so I have been planning all that stuff out too), but I have managed to convince him on the shirt thing, I bought DH, DS, and DD's t-shirts at Old Navy, they had some sales going on, and I got all my shirts at Value Village. I showed DH the DISigns I picked for him (one of them has Grumpy with a mug of beer and a mug of Guinness - lol), but for the most part they are not too overdone and mostly geared to WDW and Star Wars, so he seems okay with it.
Just remember to buy the iron-on sheets for dark shirts if you have colored shirts, they're more expensive, though.
Re: Palo - you shouldn't have a problem, I was still booking last week and there were lots of options. We're doing Palo brunch on Day 4 (Sea Day), then Palo dinner on Day 5.
Lastly - Atlantis - I checked Comfort Inn, and definitely not cheap when we're there, really expensive, actually (but cheaper than buying the waterpark excursion for the whole family). We've booked the Atlantis Beach Day, cheaper than the waterpark, includes lunch and transportation, we've never been there so I felt we should go check it out, I don't know when we'd be back again. There was another DIS post where someone suggested to me to book a day pass directly with Atlantis and just take a taxi there and back, apparently it's much cheaper that way, but I haven't been able to find any information about that online.
