Disney Updated Policies: Door Décor
Disney has had to crack down on the elaborate door and wall décor cruisers have been putting up to while on their stay on the ship. While most people just had magnets many people have been doing wall décor on both sides of their door even extending it to their neighbor’s side many feet away from their door.
Examples pictured below.
Disney states that have been a safety issue with décor sticking away from the shorter hallways, complaints from cruisers that something was taken down. This also hinders the cast members cleaning the rooms, hallways and exiting safely from rooms.
Some of Disney complaints are cruisers damaging the paint, wallpaper or décor on the walls, by guest using tape, stick on vinyl adhesive, sticky jelly adhesives, Velcro and addition items that scratch or dent the walls. Moreover, blocking the hallway at anytime is prohibited even at 3 to 4 inches away from wall.
Disney states, “they will find you $100 for every damaged area.”
Will Changes Come in an Effect?
Disney states these are the dates of when the policy will change on each ship:
- Fantasy June 3rd
- Magic and Adventure June 4th
- Wish June 5th
- Treasure and Destiny June 6th
- Dream and Wonder June 8th
Additional, Fish extenders are allowed and only hung on the provided Fish extender décor only.
Statement from Disney Below:
You are welcome to personalize your stateroom door with a tasteful magnetic sign for a celebration—or simply to add a touch of fun! To ensure an enjoyable experience for all our Guests, please take note of the following guidelines for decorating your stateroom door:
- Please avoid using tape and other adhesives, including gel adhesives, to affix items to your stateroom door, as this can damage the door’s finish.
- Using over-the-door hanging organizers is prohibited, as they may cause scratches or other damage to stateroom doors and trim.
- Items of value should not be used to decorate your stateroom door. Disney Cruise Line is not responsible for damage to or loss of these items.
- As a courtesy to other Guests, sound or video elements should not be used.
- Decorations should only be placed on doors and are not permitted on corridor walls or ceilings.
Guests who damage doors in violation of these guidelines will be assessed a $100 fee per incident to cover the cost of repairs.
Note that magnets will not adhere to Concierge stateroom doors on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, as these doors are wooden.Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
