Things I would never have done without the DIS

[maxsmom]

Go to the creative DISigns forum there is tons of great info on making the tie dye mickey shirts there -
here are some of ours from december

Photopass shares aren't allowed on the DIS - check facebook for a group.

Those are awesome! I'm heading there now. Thanks!

I would never have overslept work because I was reading a Twinkiemama trip report. I would never have shot Diet Coke out my nose on my computer after reading one of Robo's posts.
Ok, there are a million things I've done at WDW such as the parties, character dining, dining at resorts, etc if not for the Dis.

If not for the Dis, I would never have had the courage to go on my first solo trip to MNSSHP. Thanks for all of the great tips and tricks! Hope to see some lime green mickey heads in September!

THANK YOU!!!! I can't believe I joined the DIS three years ago (I feel like an old pro now!!) and knew none of the little tips and tricks that can make an already magical trip even more fun!!

I would have never thought to plan a split stay vacation or have the kids rub Humphrey's nose at WL

I need help with some of the abbreviations. The OP for instance confused me. Maybe there is a website or something somewhere I can read.

Here's a site for your abbreviations. It hasn't been updated in a few years but it should get you started. Good luck!

I love the DIS and if not for it and the wonderful DISers I would not have;

Known to take a cab from POFQ to the Poly for an early morning ADR, saving major time and patience.

Known to arrive for the RD ceremonies, especially at MK and then later on at Toontown.

Known to arrive at Tink's store at opening in order to wake her up!

Known to ask the Photopass photogs to take our pictures with the balloon sellers. I love these shots!

Known to ask the Photopass photogs for the fantasy shots, with Simba, Tink etc.....

Known about the Kim Possible Missions. My DD and I had a blast with them this past December.

Known about both the BBB and Pirates League. Best time with my DD and wonderful memories of her getting her first crown!!

Known about Hidden Mickeys which we just love to look for. My DD evens looks for them at home now!!

Known about the wonderful Character Meals that are all throughout the World.

Known we could order a cake for the kids birthdays.

Known about trip reports and how addictive they are!!

Known about my newest obsession, the Disney Dooney and Bourke bags!!!

Love this thread..

Lime green mickeys you can get at Home Depot, they are used to find Disers at the Parks.

The shirts are super easy to make!

Rope Drop
All the yummy food from the Food Porn Thread
Divine at AK & PUSH at MK
Rider Switch Tickets - the best tip I have learned about!
GF Afternoon Tea - will be doing this the for the 1st time in Dec!
How addicting Trip Reports are!
Getting my boys' hair cut at the Barber Shop in MK
Using FastPasses after time as expired - although I haven't done it yet.
Eat at Cali Grill then watch Wishes from the Observation Deck
The "secret" trail at MK

L-O-V-E the DIS!

After reading most of this thread I can't think of anything I've learned from the DIS that hasn't been addressed. You guys are the best!!! You rekindle my inner child and remind me that people are very loving and caring. Thank you all.

The promise of a happy family vacation, and the overlying factor of guilt placed on you to plan every thing down to the last detail so you don't miss things like Rope Drop's, Tonga Toast, and Dole Whip is what sucks you in. Robo's maps and humor are what keeps you around.

What is the "secret" trail at MK? Is that the tear drop or something else?

Also, can someone tell me for sure if the school bread is sold in Norway or somewhere else? I must try that!

The secret trail in a fairly unknown walkway from Tomorrowland to ToonTown.

I never would have had a Dole Whip Float either.

I will blaim this board the rest of my life for that traumatic experience.

 

[eagillinois]

These are the things I learned about on the DIS:
Asking for the Cowboy scene on the Great Movie Ride- we asked & got to ride in front and see it (AWESOME!!)
How to get picked in the Indiana Jones Show (embarrased my 15 y.o. but I got to be a volunteer)
Grey Goose Slushie (YUM!!!!)
Dole Whip
Mickey Tye Die
I love this board!!
