Dis'er Spotting!

[CathrynRose]

Very cool thread!

Ok, I've been around awhile but am I the only one who doesn't know what a *Focker Watch Lanyard* is? (I do know what a lanyard is though! )

The Focker Watch people.... there was multiple threads for awhile. That if you spotted a DIS'er you'd do that "Focker" dad thing:

So the lady had on a lime green lanyard - with FOCKER WATCH printed on it.

Could you imagine if you "Focker Watched" a person who wasn't a Dis'er? Creepy. I'd be scared!

I've seen Disers and usually walk up and say hi. I've only had one who acted like she didn't know what I was talking about. The woman was dressed in lime green from head to toe with Mickey heads AND her Diser name on several of them. To say I was confused is an understatement.

The last one was while I was in DL last May. I was chatting to the couple in front of me in line at Toy Story Mania, when I noticed their LGMH. She didn't have a clue who I was since she hangs out on the DVC board.

BTW I just love introducing myself as Evil Genius, people around you give you different looks : and then try to pretend that they weren't eavesdropping.

I'm going 7-11 through 7-18. Anyone else?

I totally forgot about the lgmh. I was thinking of getting lime green ribbon, but will now be heading to Home Depot.

Stupid question... I am assuming you have to cut out the Mickry heads yourself....what are you using to attach them to back packs etc.

I ran into Angiebelle in Epcot once. I knew her right away! We chatted a few minutes.

I also was in the check-in line at Pop Century once and who was standing there but the beloved Ray Sharpton in his DIS shirt. He was such a sweet man--I walked right up to him and started talking because I knew it was him and I knew he would be nice back to me!

I met Dan Murphy in front of the Castle (the first time). I wonder if he remembers that? That was such a fun day filled with so many wonderful memories! He met my family including my parents, we did Splash and CoP, HM, BTM, Wedway Peoplemover, etc. and ate at LTT with the characters and birthday cupcakes and table decorations for our b-days.
I talked on his cell phone to moderator LisaTX who was as sweet as she could be. We watched the parade and Dan bought me a 100.00 roll of film for my camera (well, maybe not 100.00 but y'all know WDW film was $$$) and we bought the photo on Splash. H had the first digital camera I'd ever seen and I was fascinated by it. We watched the Kiss Goodnight at the Castle and he shared tidbits of a tour he'd done. He showed me the tap dancing place on a side street and I always visit there and look up and listen and then say a prayer to bless dan because he is such a wonderful friend to me.

I met UncleKyle who was a hottie doing the CP. Met him through Dan but had talked to him a lot here on the DIS. Wonder what he is doing nowadays?

I met SideShowBob and tried to bow at his feet but he doesn't allow that. I think he offered me a lemonade.

And I met Pete. A meeting I will not soon forget. And...I'm glad I've watched the movie Bambi because you can learn a lot from that movie.

I met Dan, too, but it was at a Chicagoland area Dis-Meet!

As far as LGMH prep, I peel them off, glue stick 2 back to back, then laminate them with the wallet size laminating sheets. I then hole punch a corner, attach to a key ring, then attach to my bag.

I'm rather new here, and the LGMH I think the LGMH thing is pretty incredible,

My DH is on a bunch of music messageboards, and apparently, on one of them, someone made T-Shirts with their usernames and a number on the back. I never knew what it meant, until we went to see REM a couple months ago and some random man ran up to him and started talking to him. I was so confused!!!

Way back when I was rather new to the DIS I got all excited in EPCOT. Two ladies decked out in lime green. *Had* to be Disers...right? I ran over and introduced myself as a "Diser" and they froze with their mouths open. They looked at each other, began flinging their arms around,then began fussing at me in Spanish. They began walking away quickly but looked back at me several times and shook their finger at me and continued fussing. Guess I was mistaken. DH still snickers about that till this day.

The next time I spotted a DISER (a real one) was while sitting on a bench outside the Boardwalk. DH had gone to get our car and I was "people watching". Suddenly I see a lady with a young girl starting inside to the lobby carrying a basket only a DISER would recognize. Feralpeg! I jumped up and followed Peg and her daughter inside and ambushed them. I hollered out, "I know who you are! You're on the DIS and that's your DD". Poor Peg!!! She must have thought some loon was stalking them. I was able to explain I was a Diser and had seen she and her daughter online and had even seen pics of her baskets. They were both extremely nice.

Dh kept pointing out people in lime...lots of people wear lime, even head to toe lime! I would only approach with a lgmh clearly visible, though!

I remember that! You were very nice. It was a pleasure meeting you!

Thanks for the explanation as i wondered what that meant, too!

My DD and i met a really nice disser on a bus last may. We were headed to POP and she and her family were headed to the GF. Anyone remember that? I didn't write down her name but it was fun chatting with her!
