Where is the best place to get magnets for cruise doors?

There are a plethora of people on Etsy that make custom ones. If you're looking for something more generic, they do sell some onboard.

I make mine. Print pictures on photo grade paper, put magnetic sheets on the back, voila!

I make my own, with help.

There are lots of DISers that make customs for people. Just ask nicely, print out (I use card stock), cut out, laminate (I use clear contact paper), glue a magnet the back.

I use Avery magnet "paper" and wonderful, creative, and generous people from this board create very cool designs. They provide their services for free, and then I print and cut out the magnets.

I did this as well, and found inexpensive solutions at Walmart, craft aisles I think. They had magnetic sticker sheets and dots and longer thin rectangles. I also used these to put a small fabric flag on our door for July 4th. They packed easily since I didn't use them until we unpacked in our cabin.

When printing and making mickey head type magnets what size do you typically make them? I don't want to go too big or too little!

Around 2" diameter works for me. Could even do 3".

I already have my pictures laminated and ready for magnets. I thought I read somewhere that the magnet sheets of paper were not strong enough for the doors on the Dream/Fantasy. Anyone have any idea on that? I have small magnets I was going to hot glue on the laminate.

If you're in Concierge, the doors there have a wood veneer on them. Typical fridge-type (black rubber) magnets aren't strong enough for those doors. You can use stronger neodymium magnets that will work.

That Avery paper is great! We've put pictures of the family on it, was fun to have on the door (and made it easy to find). Once traveled with elderly parents, made it very easy for them to find the room. Just keep the size 3 inches or more, anything smaller look good when you're holding it, but tends to diminish in size on the door.
