Hanging Pocket Organizer (Use with Magnetic Hooks)

A simple way to keep small items off counters and easy to find. The over-the-door hooks that come with some organizers aren’t allowed on Disney Cruise Line and can be confiscated at check-in, so leave those at home. Use magnetic hooks on the cabin wall instead to keep everything organized without any issues.
