Returning DISer going back to WDW!

[WeirdTigger27]

Hey all!

I was a frequent DIS board poster long ago. Back then we used to use green Mickeys as as a way to spot each other in the parks. Some of us would even decorate and exchange them when we saw each other in the parks. Do people still do this? I’ll be going soon, and still have some and didn’t know if I should bother bringing them with me.

Does anyone else remember this?

Welcome back! THe lime greem Mickey's were just a tad before my time, but I have heard of it. I don't think anybody does it anymore though. Then again, you never know. If I ever saw one in the park, I'd probably say hi to a fellow DISer.

Welcome back! Enjoy your epic return!!! Don’t let outside issues get in the way of your Disney experience.

Home Depot doesn't have the samples any more. I still have mine attached to my bags!

I remember people bringing them (not exchanging them), but I don't think anyone does that anymore. It has been replaced by using the internet to pre-plan meetups! There is a solos message board here where you can look for others who are going during the same time frame.

I remember those days. Green ribbon or Mickey from Home Depot I think? We used them on our cruises also and had a few great meets - before FB kicked off.

I have not paid any attention to it anymore. Have a great trip back!

Unfortunately that's not a "thing" any more. I still remember the day when I was sitting in the last row of a car at the Sci-Fi for lunch, and when the people in front of me got up to leave, the lady picked up her purse and there was the Mickey Head! We laughed about how if we'd only known sooner, we could have chatted.
Welcome back!
