I lost my DIS button!

[cheyita]

I wore my DIS button on my bag every day, hoping to meet a fellow DISer last week. On Thurs. at MK I realized it fell off - I believe on BTMRR. Oh well - I had it with for almost a week and not one person noticed it anyway!

You'll have to get another one. I have mine hanging off my rear view mirror in my car. So if you see it, you'll know it's me!

They're cheap, so order another one (or 2 or 3) right now from the DIS shop while the shipping is free. I wore mine on my backpack strap (on the front where a name tag would be worn), and it seemed like everyone I walked by at WDW looked at it. A few DISers even spotted me - it worked great. After I put it on the backpack I bent the pin part so that it wouldn't easily accidentally come off or poke me.

Must be with mine!!! That's where I lost mine in December. I had to get a new one!!! I wonder if there is a collection of them someplace in WDW.

Yep, I'll have to order a few more. I was really bummed, because I kept hoping I'd run into some DISer. But, then again, I didn't see anyone else with a DIS button, shirt or a green ribbon. Saw lots of people wearing lime green shirts and I would look them up and down for some other sign of being a DISer, but no luck. And I forgot to pack my DIS T-shirt, but I might not have worn it anyway since I was only wearing sleeveless shirts in the 95 degree heat.

I like the idea of putting it on the backpack strap, but I've found that my hip pack works better for us than the backpack - I like being hands-free and you can take it on every ride. We don't really need more than I can fit in there - our sunglasses, my wallet, my cell phone and our tickets. My hubby has big pockets for water bottles. I suppose I could use a backpack for snacks, but we'd much rather buy ice cream at the park! And for cooler seasons, we just tie our sweatshirts and jackets around our waists if needed.

Just what you guys needed - a detailed report of what and how we carry things around the park. But, heck, maybe I'm giving someone else a tip...

My backpack is really just a small Eddie Bauer one that I use all the time as my purse. Anyway - you could just wear a DIS button on your shirt .

 

[cheyita]

I think I wore it on my shirt the first time I took it down with me, but I had a hard time remembering it each morning. That's why I thought it was better on my bag.

So I will order a few now and keep my extras in my bag so if I lose another one, there will be a replacement readily available!

Ah - even better - I also ordered a DIS lanyard for my pins. That's even more visible! Now I just need to plan another trip down to the World to try out my new stuff!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

I FOUND your pin at BTMRR and it was put with the lost & found stuff..... it would have gone to City Hall that night and then to Lost & Found over at the Kennels at TCC.

It was in one of the cars of the train........ I think it was either Wednesday or Thursday.

[KristaTX]

Wow April 76 - Too bad you don't have the pin, but that is so cool that the person who found the pin is also a DISer and saw this thread !!

 

[April76]

Yep..... and my first thought when I found it was "darn, I missed meeting a DISser!")

 

[cheyita]

How funny - and now we have matching tags from the Tag Fairy to connect us this way, even though we didn't connect in person. This story turned out to be so cool. Even my DH is amazed.

 

[April76]

Love the tag!!!!! Thanks TF!!!


I sent you a PM..... Hope you had a great trip!

Dont give up wearing your button. After atleast 3 trips prior to our last I wore my button on my lanyard every day. Never met a soul. Finally on this last trip may 29-June 12 I ran into 1 lurker from the boards, she had read some of my posts before, and I met someone from the Universal boards. I ran into an old Diser friend I met at Dis Con II and also had a couple of mini mets that we set up prior to leaving.

Thanks to you both. I don't know how I missed that.....

 

[mtblujeans]

WELL.....the first place I am going to stop at WDW is the Lost & Found and pick out a nice DIS button of my choosing!!

 

[gr8tpanther]

OH OH OH, I did NOT know that there was DIS stuff to wear in Disney

I am not going till NEXT Sept (2005), but you betcha I will be sportin the DIS!!!

Shirt, button, keychain, and MAYBE by then, they will have a hat?

 

[geffric]

strange as this may seem.. I wore my DIS button for the 2 weeks we were at WDW and never saw anyone look at my botton or recognize it.. I was surprised but then again.. I am sure that everyone was having so much fun with their own family on vacation that they didn't notice..
