What Does YOUR DCL magnetic door sign look like? With other great tips for your sign

[scottishwee35]

Where do I get a magnet? Or how do I make it? Is there a special store or website?

try look at ebay as where I bought it from.

I just make my own sign, and put magnets on the back! I never thought of that. I am kinda silly sometimes!

I have my door signs completed for my 09/16/06 Double Dip Cruise. I borrowed ideas from many on this thread. I tried to PM each to let him or her know that I was borrowing. If I missed anyone, I am sorry. Thanks a million for this thread and for sharing your ideas with those of us who are less creative.

I got my magnetic tape at either Walmart or Hobby Lobby.

These are very late since our last cruise was October 22, 2005 - We were a Western that was turned into an Eastern at the last moment...

We had 2 connecting rooms - on for DH, DS6 & me and one for my parents. The door pictures aren't too good, but I also posted some of the magnets so you can see them better.

The first is my parent's room. The 2 near the top are from the "T-Shirt design thread" - one is a Chicago Bear's and the other is White Sox. We sailed during football season and the world series.

In the middle of the door is one I made for our cruise in 2004, but since it wasn't dates, I reused it.

This is our door. DS6 made some mostly by himself - 1 for each island (that we didn't end up going to!) and a couple others. His were near the bottom and mine were up top.

My main magnets were:

And I had a Mickey head for each of us. This is mine ...

Lastly, I had a Pirate Night magnet.

Great signs pdarrah!! I am glad to see that you reused your signs from your last cruise too. I did the same thing with the ones that didn't have specific dates on them.

What is the big deal about using someone elses sign? If you want to go down that road, how do you think the artists who drew the pictures you are all using in the first place feel? Or the companies who own the images? Umm, can you say 'copyright infringement'? I work at a library, and this is a very real problem. And yes, I know that some of these images came from Disney sites, and there were there for downloading - but not all of them, and not even most of them. Most of these images are 'right click copy' images, which are unregulated.

The reason Disney isn't cracking down on this (like they did at that nursery school in Florida) is that it's more trouble than it's worth to prosecute. They would be perfectly justified, however, in taking down any signs that get posted in public places with copyright protected images on them. But don't mistake Disney's silence in this matter as implicit approval - we're just too small potatoes for them to bother about.

Bottom line is, if people are going to get upset because someone is using 'their' signs, they should really be reminded that they are using someone ELSES images, as well.

Sauce for the goose, ya know . . .

I am seriously lovin' that Mowgli/Baloo sign there, pdarrah!


I got hooked on making these signs on our cruise last September... I've got a Disney Print Creations program that has tons of great clip art images (not to mention the great Disney clip art sites on the web) and had a blast doing them!

What I enjoyed doing the most (much to my DW's chagrin at times) was taking pictures we had taken on previous trips to the cruise's destinations (and/or on earlier Disney cruises) and throwing in a Disney character along with a caption or two -- like these that deal with Grand Cayman:

The 'gray lines' are there because Disney Print Creations is understandably a bit uncomfortable with people saving their images for possible re-use. These are screen captures of the files complete with item borders.

Since I just found out about our going on this cruise night before last, I haven't thought up of any good ones to make this time around. Hopefully I'll think of some while on my store visits today...

We will be cruising on Sep 11th, this is one of my patriotic signs for that night..... simple but to the point!ps. thanks verandah man I was able to get to a jpeg

 

[reneritch]

Here are a couple that I plan to use next year. Hope the pictures will help our 3 year old grandson find our cabin. He will just be next door!

Made these with the help of Cruiser1969 and poohbear627 in the Creative Design area.

Nice Work Birdmom

I suppose my question is somewhat random, and specific but here goes!

I noticed that in some peoples lovely pictures of their door magnets, they had added Mickey ears to the circle on the door that says the room number. I thought it was very cute and wanted to try and do it my self. Here's my question: What should the proportions be for the ears. I don't want them to look too small for or big for the circle that says the room number.

If anyone knows, please share!

P.S. Sorry if my question is confusing. If you would like to rephrase, be my guest!

I just posted my mickey ears for anyone to print. Here is the link to that post. I decorated 80 cabins on the ship with these ears. I tried to do it anonymously, but I got caught in the act.

Here is a picture from last year's cruise with the Mickey Ears:

I still haven't downloaded my pictures from this last week's cruise.

These were some of our door signs. Some I made and some I borrowed and changed.

Wow!!! Great signs!!!

I had a blast making signs this time around, though I got a late start -I think I'll start on my 2008 signs this weekend!

I found this worked great in keeping the signs sturdy while travelling: I used regular paper for the signs, and glued the backs to some old file folders (or cardboard). I got some 5x7 glue-backed picture magnets at the dollar store, cut them into smaller squares, and glued a square on the back of each corner of my sign. Worked great, and I got lots of signs out of those strips!!

Also, one of our Dis group (Thanks Anna!!!) surprised everyone with great Mickey ears around our door number; she also made fun nautical letters for everyone's names:

Edited to say: Duh! Anna (Dsnycrazzy) posted above! Hi Anna!!!

This was our door sign on our August 5th cruise. It's similar to one I saw on this thread before.
On the second to last day someone took the Captn' Jack one but I made another when I got home, and then we put the whole thing on our refrigerator, it helped with the withdrawl. Hope ya'll like it

I love the door ideas. I can't wait to decorate our door when we go. I've already warned DH and DS (13) and they both rolled their eyes.
