This is a CULT, leave now!

Man, if I didn't know any better, I would think this was one of my midnight posts.

LMAO

My wife is concerned that after our trip I'll go into a depression.LOL I told her not to worry, but I knew where I'd be taking a vacation each year (at least part of it)

I'm new as well and we too are taking our trip in Sept. (7-12) My DH too
thinks I'm insane. But honestly, I'm a stress-aholic! The slightest little thing can stress me out and make me not enjoy what I've been waiting for ie~ Our first trip to WDW. So, I've bought a few books, written, highlighted and cut pages out. I've stayed up till midnight some nights, copying and pasting menus, tips, and packing lists into a Word folder to print out for later to use. And I read boards like this to help me gather up all the amazingly wonderful tips and suggestions from folks like yourselves to help me NOT have a temper tantrum in the park and leave that up to my toddler. So now that i've learned that lime green is the official
color of DISers, I too will be on the look out for some tees and tanks that
color to proudly wear thru my stay.

Oooohhhh, you sound like me.









Planning trips become a full time job for me and I do tend to freak at times.

Welcome and if there is anything or any question that you need answered or help with please just ask.

there will be a bunch of going down on the 7th of Sept for my Bachlorette party(pretty tame) I have some space for dinner open at Chef Mickey's if you would like to join the gang (men and woman and kids).

My family and friends think that I am crazy, and now I see why.

Today ALL of my chores were centered around things people on THE DIS told me to buy: Super-Duper Sized ziplock bags, drink and go water filters, moisture reducing socks (but not the no-show ones because you'll walk them down into you shoes, says THE DIS), lime green Mickeys for the room's window and backpack, lime green string to attach to the Mickeys, lime green shirts (got one and I'm not a fan of the color), stick ups for the room in case the previous guests decided to smoke in there anyway, etc . . . . I actually got upset when I thought I had the right shade of green "thingy" to hang from my backpack, only to realize it was too dark. So the DIS voices told me that I had to go to a party store (where I still couldn't find "lime green" anything), FINALLY I found lime green curly ribbon that you would put on a present. WHEW!!!! OH! and don't forget the clear tape to attach the Mickeys to your window (said the DIS Voices)!

To all you newbies, GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!!!!! Your life will NEVER be the same.

Wait - you mean the lime green mickeys tell folks at the world that you are a disboarder? Sorry if this was already covered, but how do you get them, please? (the mickeys)

 

[Jeanine3kids]

You are right this is a Cult. Today my kids destroyed my whole house while I was busy on the dis, my husband thinks I need help. LOL

 

[Liann]

I'm not sure why or where I read it but I now have a stack of Alien green Disney paint swatches my Dad and friend swiped for me. Now what?

(There really must be some sort of subliminal messages floating around here, I SWEAR I have no idea why I JUST HAD to have these green Mickey heads!)

I'm positive it means something more than just telling people "HI! I stole these from Lowe's!".

 

[JMADgrad]

Yours and mine both! I offered to start a support group thread for spouses of Disboarders...didn't appeal to him, though. Although my kids haven't completely destroyed the house (yet), but my laundry pile is not shrinking and I'm checking my threads more than I check my emails!

What about the lime green mickeys???! Enlighten me, please...

 

[turtlegirl1]

My DH is very concerned about the withdrawal symptoms I may encounter after our trip in August. He's worried that I will not know what to do with myself when all the planning is done and there's no reason to be on the DIS anymore.... silly silly man, there's always the NEXT trip and it's NEVER too early to start planning!!

 

[Glendamax]

This is the best cult I have ever been a part of . . . well, it is the ONLY cult I have been a part of. But if I had participated in other cults, this would still be the best one.

This is sooooo funny! Well worth posting again!

So, Glenda I noticed in your siggy that you are planning a trip Sept. 6-13th. Well that is when our trip is, so if you see someone (a family of 5.) walking around with a bike trailer that has lime green on it, it is probably me!

OK! I'm going to have my Mickey on my backpack! I hope we spot each other!!!

As for the Lime Green questions: It's the non-official color for the site. Some of us try to wear lime to be easily spotted in the parks. We also go to Home Depot and get the Disney Paint Chips in Alien Green since they are shaped like Mickey Heads, and attach them to our bags, strollers, etc so that we can spot each other. Mine has Gmax or Glendamax written on it. Here are some that I had in my window at Port Orleans French Quarter in 2006:

The one on the bottom left is from a DISer who spotted my window, and left her's on my door knob. So you can also make a few extra to give to DISers you run into. (I STILL haven't done this!)

This one is from another DISer who attached glow sticks to hers.

Since there seems to be quite a few Cult members going in Sept, I'll post my dinner reservations that I have so far. If you havent done yours yet, maybe you can make yours around the same time/places so maybe we'll run into each other! Also, I do plan on seeing Illuminations, Fantasmic, Wishes, Spectro and going to the Halloween Party (on Tues. Sept 9th). So maybe we can see if our schedules match up!

Sat. 9/6 - Boma @ 4:35

Sun. 9/7 - LeCellier @ 6:15

Mon. 9/8 - Boma @ 6:15

Tues. 9/9 - Tony's @ 5:35 (then onto the Halloween Party)

Wed. 9/10 - Sci-Fi @ 6pm (may change)

Thurs. 9/11 - Nothing

Fri. 9/12 - 1900 Park Fare @ 4:30 (may change)

Sat. 9/13 - going home

Yeah! So where is the Tag Fairy when you need her??!!

 

[cowboy]

LOL! I love cults.... that is... if this is the example of one!

I know I've only been here a short time, but I've never felt so warm and fuzzy....

Everyone should join one! hehehe....

pull up a chair and enjoy the cult jacket.... I mean hug!!!

 

[truegirl]

This thread has been hysterical!

I'll drink that lime Kool Aid!

Never would I have felt the need to make a trip to Home Depot before a vacation, but it looks like I'm on my way! This whole alien green Mickey head stuff is just too good to pass up!

And I'll bring extras! true

truegirl, whatever you do, don't go down the nail polish isle - or you'll notice lime green polish. . .

Spectromagic ringtone..........

where can I get one?

 

[truegirl]

Before we went to bed last night, my daughter and I were trying to figure out how much lime green we could incorporate into our trip! Now I'll have to tell her to keep an eye out for nail polish, too~ now there's something we hadn't thought of!

Wonder how long it'll take to find a lime green waterproof watch? true

 

[willwriteforears]

I'm new to this thread and new to the boards in general. Unfortunately I won't be out there in September (I'd lobbied for a Sept. trip, actually, but my friend who is starting her med school residency was all, "I don't know if I'll be able to take time off then!" I *guess* that's a good excuse ) But by a happy fortune, I already have lime green toenail polish! I'll have to see about heading to Home Depot for those paint chips, though. And about convincing my friends to wear them...

Anyway, hello all!
