MouseFest Cruise

Cabin Door Decorating Contest

Decorating your stateroom door on the Disney cruise ship is one of the fun things you can do!!! It not only personalizes your door and makes it feel more, well, like home. But it also helps you (and your kids) locate your cabin more easily.

Contest Guidelines

Decorate your metal stateroom door, incorporate MouseFest in the design, and register to enter our decorating contest! You must have your door decorated by 5:00 pm on day 2 (Monday, Dec. 3). Deb and Jennifer will cruise the hallways and judge doors based on creativity, originality, and your ability to use MouseFest in your decor. A "MouseFest Door Judged by Deb and Jennifer" will be placed on your door letting you know the judges have seen your entry! No tape or glue on cabin doors, magnets only please! Prizes to be announced.

You must register (free) to participate in the contest.

Helpful Information
as you decide on decorations.

First, Disney only allows MAGNETS on the doors. Tape (even removable tape) is no longer allowed.

Also, do not cover your stateroom number!

So, where do you get magnetic paper.

Avery sells 5 Magnetic Sheets (8x10) for approx $12. Staples has them online.

Walmart also sell Magnetic Sheets for printers.

What about Magnetic Tape?

This is great too! Check out Walmart, Target, etc.

What size are the cabin doors?

Approximately: 27 inches wide and a little over 6 feet high.

What kinds of things do people put on the doors?

Just about anything and everything you want (remember it's a Family cruise line :)

Photos of those sailing, photos of previous cruises, Disney characters, Magnets from previous cruises, Disney postcards.

If you are DVC member and did not receive a DVC magnet when you arrive in your stateroom, be sure to stop by the DVC desk. Sometimes they have extra.

Themes - MouseFest, Pirates, Christmas, Holidays, Ports of Call.

Other Tips

If you have a verandah room and your verandah door is open, do not open your decorated stateroom door until you close your verandah door. A wind effect between the two open doors may cause some of your door decorations to come off.

Do not put anything of value on the door. While it is rare, sometimes magnets get removed or disappear.
