I love using the Disney Experience for making signs! They have some great backgrounds!

They do indeed!

I can't take credit for it. Someone posted this a while back and I reposted it when someone else was looking for it. I think I found it on the clipart sharing thread, so feel free to use it.

Hi All

I was hoping someone might be able to help me with a surprise sign for my daughter's 9th birthday. We were talking about signs last night, so I was able to pick her brain about some favorite characters. She really likes Stitch, the big scientist in those movies (Bumba???--not sure of his name), and Lilo. But, honestly she like Stitch and the scientist best.

Anyone have a little time to help? We leave in mid-August.

Thanks, Carol

Well, I'm a newbie here and I'm not as good as the experts here, but I can try. What is your daughter's name?

Here is my latest attempt. This is based on a design I found here but I can't find the original poster now. When I find it I will come back and edit this to give credit.

Carol,

Not sure what you had in mind. Would this work? I can add her name, of course, instead of XXXXXX.

I think I saw that design in rumblytumbly's Photobucket. I like what you did with it, especially the Disney people.

OK guys, gotta ask.

I've been looking at magnets and doors and have had some magnets made.

NOW why do we do this? Is there some incentive to having the most creative door. Do CM's pick doors and the guests get to do special things, or the most obvious--it's just for fun?

'C'

I'm too new to use the quote feature - but as to why we do this? For fun, for sure. For me, at least, the 'planning' part extends the whole 'vacation' and it's probably almost as cool for me as the actual trip - almost...not quite!

Barbara

You could use fabric, but using a cheap rectagular tablecloth works just as well and is lighter. Tape at the top of the door jam and under the door.

Many pages back, or maybe it was a different thread, a DISer got a best dressed door award from DCL. Their cabin must've been where DCL staff walked by frequently. But, you never know, your door might get noticed . We put up printed pictures on the front of our door for any one to sign (like an autograph page) and even Alice in Wonderland signed our sign. It was so neat to see what other passengers would write (all clean verbage too).

Sorry for the off topic tangent I took above.

Have a great cruise!

Hi TAE JA!!


For me it is a part of extending the fun and making the stateroom door recognizable in a long hallway of doors. It is so easy to keep walking right on by.

This last cruise I had some extras I had made but was not sure what to do with them as the door was COVERED--inside and out. A conversation with a gradeschooler and her parents in an elevator led me to take some and decorate their door.

Another time I opened my door and the little girl from across the hall was embarrassed to be caught looking at my pictures. Her door was empty. I asked if she would like some and she chose what she wanted from my "extras" and we put them on her door.

It was a way to make magic for someone else! And I loved it!

As to size--my favorites are colorful manilla folders with paper pictures glued on. Craft magnets are attached to the back. They fold to pack and open to decorate the door. 12 x 18 perhaps?

My other favorite is to use the free CDs that come in the mail advertising something and decorate the silvery side with stickers or cut outs of Mickey and the gang. I made HAPPY BIRTHDAY magnets like that with a picture of each of our kids (as large as I could get it that would fit) glued on the front. Craft magnets on the back hold them in place.

My front door is steel so I can test the magnets there and put some up from time to time (more like ALWAYS ) to enjoy at home.

Here's my first attempt at a magnet - I'm still playing with size and resolution for printing so it's a work in progress. Can someone tell me what sizes the door magnets generally are - I'm guessing the cool calendar ones in the thread are 8 1/2 by 11? How about other sizes?

I've posted this on my cruise meets thread, but I keep forgetting to post it here.

That is a good kind of magnet to make extras of to give away. Anyone on the ship would love that!! VERY NICE

Tasha! These are great.
Would you mind making one that says
CELEBRATING MY BIRTHDAY WITH STITCH AND MY OHANA

That way it is not limited to a certain age or person!
I would love to be able to use that. Our next cruise will be a celebration of four birthdays!

Someone else posted the picture of Hook (they said that they found it in a fan art site) and I added the words, some texture and the frame and then re-posted it.
