When you set sail on a Disney Cruise, part of the fun is most definitely decorating your door!! Many many cruisers decorate their doors on a Disney Cruise!
Disney Cruise Decoration Ideas
Similar to how campers decorate their campsites, many cruisers decorate their cabin doors! We have seen many cruise door decorations on many different cruises, but Disney Cruise Line ships definitely seem to take the cake.
You can decorate your stateroom door with magnetic decorations (all doors on Disney Cruises are metal, minus the wooden doors on concierge staterooms on the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish). Scotch tape would work too, if your decorations do not have magnets on them.
Our fellow Disney cruisers had door decorating down to a science!
Common Cruise Door Decorations
Some of the most common cruise door decorations on a Disney Cruise:
- Dry erase board
- Magnets (store bought and DIY)
- Fish Extenders (these hang on the fish hook NEXT to your door)
- Signs or pictures hung on the door with tape or Command Strips
Where to buy personalized magnets for your cruise
One of our favorite things to take on a Disney Cruise are personalized Disney Cruise magnets. I actually make our own magnets. I use my Silhouette Cameo to cut them, design them in Canva or PicMonkey, and laminate them before placing some adhesive -backed magnets on them.
You could also use printable magnet paper and print your own images on simple magnets using your home printer.
If you don’t have the time or the desire or the know-how you make your own magnets, you can find a wide variety of them for sale! Etsy has hundreds of personalized Disney Cruise magnets to purchase.
You can also search online for blogs that offer printable magnets.
I made these Mickey Ice Cream Bar Magnets – hop over to that post if you’d like the template and tutorial!

Check out the pictures below for some fun ideas for your next cruise. Decorations can be a fun way to show off your favorite characters, any special occasions you’re celebrating like birthdays and anniversaries, etc. If you don’t care about having personalized Disney Cruise door magnets, look for Disney magnets (or cruise ship, beach, etc magnets) at the Dollar Tree and on amazon.
We took these pictures on our family vacation on the Disney Magic.
Check out the super cute lollipop holder on the door below. Looks like you can buy them online.
Can you tell what time of year these cruise door pictures were taken? If you guessed Halloween, you are correct! This was on our Halloween Disney Cruise to Bermuda! (Disney calls these cruise itineraries “Halloween on the High Seas.” Many cruise doors reflected the Halloween theme.
We had such a fun time wandering up and down hallways with the kids, looking at the unique and creative stateroom door decorations. Our fellow cruisers put on quite a display!
Free Printable Disney Cruise Ship Door Decorations
I made up these free printable Mickey-inspired signs that you can save, print and personalize for YOUR Disney Cruise! You can even save them to your computer and open them in a photo editing software (for example Photoshop or PicMonkey) and add your text before you print.
There are 3 designs to print on – you can have any or all that you’d like!
I recommend printing them on white cardstock. To reinforce them even more, you might want to run them through a laminator (I have this one!).
