Is this too "in your face"?

[AJKMOM]

While at a local fast food restaurant today, I overheard a mom talking to her son who about 5 or 6. She said they were going to DisneyWorld in the spring so he could see Winnie the Pooh and all the characters. At that point, I wanted to interrupt her and tell her about the DIS, but cooler heads prevailed .

Then, I really had to bite my tongue because she said "Mommy is going to call a travel agent so we can get a good deal". I wanted to then tell her the pitfalls of travel agents, and that she could do it herself, about ME, the whole nine yards. It was so tough to keep quiet, I need a life!

I would've said, "excuse me, but, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. I know of a really good website. If you want to, I can give you the name of it."

I also wouldn't feel badly if I didn't give it too her.

I refer folks to the Disboards all the time. Don't be imbarrased or ashamed - we're an awesome fraternity!!

I always tell people about how to save Money going to WDW or DL. I do not believe anyone should have to pay full price. DH always laughs at me as I tell people I over hear in restaurants etc. Share the Magic! LOL

I never ever hesitate to tell people about the disboards or the other great disney travel related web sites. If someone would not have told me I wouldn't have known to even look.

Feel free to share your disney knowledge with the stranger, you are helping spread a little pixie dust when you do!

Oh, I would have talked to her -- by the time I was done, she'd be headed off to Home Depot for some LGMHPCs!

It's not in-your-face at all, IMO.

I think that it would have been fine for you to tell her about the DIS, but I would not have mentioned the "pitfalls of travel agents." That is an opinion (with which I happen to agree) that may not be appreciated, especially when offered unaksed by somebody unknown.

I only WISH someone would have told me about this site years ago!!

I can remember when we thought we were the Disney experts because of how many trips we had taken. We were always able to give friends information and tips.

Then I found this site and was quickly humbled

I say to spread the word!!

And

Tell the world about the DIS!! But then again, I'd never get offline reading all the new posts!!

Just wish there was a "dis" for all my cruises and other vacations!!! I may have to come back to the DIS for pointers when we plan our Australia trip (not until 2008).

It's wierd. I haven't learned much here, but I help people a lot. Maybe it is because of my obsession with reading park maps over and over fo rthe past 15 years.

I always spread the word as well. I love the dis
