Hey fellow Long Islanders! We're in Hauppauge!
Just booked a getaway to the Poly next month.... we just got back in June (our first Disney vacation) and we couldn't get enough. We booked again for January but needed a fix before then!
Hello from Holtsville
Glad to see you here
It sounds like there are a handful of us coming during the same time period - late August... we will be there the 17th-23rd!
We sould all wear a red rose on our shirt so we can recognize eachother
DIS'ers wear a LGMH (Lime Green Mickey Head) somewhere on their body, stroller, etc. to identify you as a member of the DIS boards.
If you go to Home Depot and look in the Disney paint section, you'll see paint chips with Mickey Heads. The neon/lime green is the one DIS'ers use. You write your DIS Handle on the LGMH to let other's know who you are.
You can also print out large ones to put on your stroller. I know I have the link to the large LGMH on here somewhere. I'll find it for you if you would like.
On our last visit to the parks, I wore my LGMH on my fanny pack and I met a bunch of DIS'ers. People just come up to you to say hello. No one interrupted my day, or followed me around the parks or anything stalker type like that. When I saw a LGMH I would go over and say, Hey, are you a DIS'er! and of course they said yes or they wouldn't have the LGMH

and we would introduce ourselves, how's your trip going, where you from, your kids are cute, have a great time, goodbye..... It's just nice to meet the people you interact with all the time
In fact, some DIS'ers Decorate their resort room door and windows to show everyone they're a DIS'er. It's just innocent fun.
On that same trip, my SIL/BIL's BF, who works at Disney, mocked me and my fellow DIS"ers. He could not believe how much power the DIS has! Well, after running into a few DIS'ers and speaking with CM's who also know all about the DIS, he changed his tune and admitted to me that he owes his job to DIS'ers! Believe it or not, We have strength in numbers
