Here’s How to Make Disney Cruise Door Magnets

I get this question more than any other: How do I turn instant downloads into cruise door magnets? Well, it’s easy, and really a lot cheaper than you think.

✨Best Method: Download an Inexpensive Design That Can be Printed on Regular Paper

You don’t need fancy magnet paper or special tools! Grab one of the following PDFs and continue these instructions to make your Disney Cruise door magnets.

✨Easy and Cheap: Add Sticky Magnets to Your Paper Designs

Add sticky-back magnet tape to the back. This can be found at Walmart for about $4 a roll or try these sticky magnet dots from Amazon for about $10.00:

This is the easiest and most inexpensive way to create cheap Disney door magnets, but the paper could get damaged in luggage, so put them in a folder when you pack.

✨ Durable and Still Cheap: Add Contact Paper

Print and sandwich between sheets of clear contact paper. This will help protect the edges and keep them from curling. Add magnet tape to the back of the protected contact paper sheets.

✨ More work, But Will Last Forever: Laminated

Print and add tape to the back to join pieces (if needed on a multi-piece design). Take your magnet design to an office supply store to be laminated, or if you are an office nerd like me, on your home laminating machine. Staples and Office Depot both offer laminating services.

Add your sticky magnets to the back. I personally don’t like laminated designs… they are difficult to photograph due to the hallway lighting reflecting off of the shiny plastic.

✨ Aaaaand ... Probably Unnecessary Magnet Paper

You can buy magnetic paper that will feed into your home printer. These printable magnet sheets from Amazon are about $15.00:

Why I don’t advise to print your Disney Cruise door designs on magnetic sheets:

• Some home printers don’t like to accept this kind of paper

• It can be pricey for just a few sheets (think of oopsies and reprints), and

• You don’t have to have magnetic material all over every inch of the back to make the design stick to the door.

I say go with one of the methods listed above instead of using magnetic paper. A few strategically placed sticky magnets are more than enough to do the trick.

Have a magical day and a beautiful vacation.
