Thank you Showe!! I just need to put something of DIS in my sign, but I'm waiting for a clipart to finish it!!

Hi

This is the door sign I've made. I don't think it looks as professional as some, but hope its alright.

I dont think the photo does it justice, but I didn't know how to put it on web

Great sign, but check the spelling of Caribbean. Have a great trip.
I'm about to book the 2007 Christmas cruise, and am already thinking about my door signs. For my last cruise, I made signs for all my Dis friends, and unfortunately waited until the day we were leaving to print them all out, and found I had a broken printer.

Hi

I used Microsoft Publisher to create the sign. The background is dark blue @ the bottom and goes up in different shades until its white @ the top.

In publisher you go to format and then background and select the one that you want. It fills the entire page. The sign is A4 size.

You can then cut and paste the disney clip arts ( I found on variuos websites) and use word Art for the writing.

Hope that helps

[MrsJobba1]

I took a placemat from McDonalds, cut the square with Jack, Elizabeth and Will off the ads, "laminated" it with clear contact paper, glued a magnet piece to each corner and VIOLA a POC DVC door magnet!

Hope you found the answer, if not try the following. When you are saving your pictures, make sure you save them as a jpeg or gif. HTH.

I went ahead and made one. I personalized it, so hopefully it won't get stolen. I am not going to actually print it out until closer to our cruise, in case our cabin number changes due to an unexpected but welcome upgrade!

Here's mine for Cozumel, but duh, you coulda figured that out

The background is black from the upper left hand corner and fades to white to the bottom right, but it's not showing up. Go figure.

Thanks! Hopefully no one will want our pictures or room number on their own cabin, so it won't get stolen.

Great signs everyone! It is sad just to think that some people come along and are taking signs.

LOL!! Maybe that will prevent someone from stealing it.

Hi everyone

your pictures are great

Just to let you know, I just came off a 7 day cruise on the Magic and had door signs all over -

some with names and room nos. and some with neither one on them.

Nothing at all was taken off - even the ones without names or nos.

But on the other hand, I made POC door signs for everyone on my floor that was serviced by our room cabin steward. And I went and put - in black markers - their room numbers - so that no one would take theirs.

There were 13 rooms involved and everyone loved their sign.


I think that on the most part, no one takes them, but on the other hand, there is always that chance.

Thank you for the positive report. I never thought about making signs for a whole floor/section before. That's a super nice and easy thing to do. Did you laminate all of them?
