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

[Zandy595]

Thanks for sharing that story Sandy! Not the kind of thing you would want to have to explain to a plumber 'eh?!

OK, so I decided to stop by Borders & get an instruction book for this PE6. I picked one called "The Missing Manual". It says "the book that should've been in the box"!! It is like a TEXT book! 537 pages!! So I've got some reading to do and I think it will be awhile before I finish my first sign! But if I ever get it figured out I will have to post them for sure! Meanwhile, I am scouring all over the internet for images to download so I will have a good stockpile of stuff to work with by the time I'm ready to "play"!

Not sure which one(s) I will be using yet. I still have a few weeks to decide.

Here is what our door looked like:

I changed it a bit depending on the occasion. Added a pirate hat and such for pirate nights, a bunch of hearts for valentine's day, palm trees and so forth for the day we were in port, and a sailor hat on at sea days.

I also posted a magnet outside on the veranda against the wall and way up high, so we could see which stateroom was ours from the port.

Could you please post the minnie ears sothat when I print them out they will be the correct size for the door. I really appreciate it.

I can't remember where I downloaded it from, it was years ago. However, someone posted a link in one of the first few pages of this thread.

ETA: Looks like maybe that link doesn't work anymore. Try http://www.fontface.com

You don't know how long I have been waiting to do this...Here is a pic of our door from our first Disney cruise which we just got back from. I am thrilled to finally have pics to post. There is also a pic of my parent's door. As a surprise, I made magnets for all of our family that went with us. Everyone loved them. Said it made it really easy to find their rooms. Thanks for the great idea. We were the only ones I notices with door signs, but on a 3-day cruise, there isn't much time to roam and see others.

ours

Can you tell me where you got the graphic on the sign that says wonderful vacation or share the blank graphic with me. I love it!!! Thanks

Does anyone out there have any experience with adding fonts to Vista?

In earlier versions of windows it was as simple as dragging and dropping the file intot the fonts folder. In Vista, this won't work. I tried doing it the "real" way, which is installing the font in My Computer...but it still does not show, either in the fonts folder or in programs (Word). Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong????

It doesn't seem like it should be this difficult......

Mickey and Minnie deck chairs? Or Mickey and Minnie IN deck chairs? You're not talking about the one that DisneyMom92 just posted on this page, are you?

One more favor please now that you did the hannah montana one. COuld you do one that says something about the WONDER instead of the MAGIC and Dec 2008 THe girls names that will be in that room or Taylor and Lacey. If you can I would be truly grateful. I already really appreciate the one of Micky and Minnie on the Beach. I looked for that one for hours

Yeah, it's strange in Vista. Let me see if I can remember how. I have installed fonts 3 times in Vista and every time I have to go through several steps of trial and error.

OK it's start>control panel (change it to classic view or you have several more steps to go through)>fonts then right click. The last option is install new font.

Let me know if you have questions.
