I know this is probably a very dumb question, but here goes. I've read on these boards and in a few guidebooks about wearing either neon green tee shirts or neon green name tags. What is the significance of the neon green?

Oh, since I saw several posts mentioning neon green I though that color meant something in particular. Lol As for the uhhm inhumane leashes ...... I fully intend to keep my 2 year old on one when he's not in a stroller. I use a 6ft thin nylon dog leash instead of the traditional harness. It works great. My son loves wearing his, he knows it gives him the freedom of not having to be carried or having to hold hands. But it still gives me the peace of mind knowing no one will snatch him or he can't bolt for something out of my sight. I thought the same way until my neice managed to get loose from me at a fair. I was holding her hand and somehow she got loose and took off. Little children can run through crowds alot faster than a grown up. So after a near heart attack from that incident, I realized leashes weren't so bad.

Lol, my family has a rule: no one wears white t-shirts to the parks. This is very easy for me, since I go to Clemson and half my wardrobe is orange.

I think its cute when families make t-shirts especially for their WDW trip (the creative ones). I remember one family in particular where it must have been "bob's" 50th birthday- this was on the front of all the shirts, and on the back each person had a label (bob's girl, bob's sister, bob's daughter, etc). Yeah, that is really dorky and I would never wear it :lol: but its still cute.
The worst thing I ever saw though was a family came through, each person wearing a button with a picture of a decrepit, frail old lady that said "granny's last hoorah". It was so depressing, yet the picture was funny in a twisted way.

Another Disney board
I think you might be referring to http://www.disboards.com/
When we went on our Disney Cruise I was reading that the members of that Forum would go get the Neo green color match cards from Home Depot where they have the Disney paint. This would easily be attached to a lanyard so others could identify fellow Disboard members...

Have you ever lost a little kid?
I had velcro wrist wraps that were connected with a long nylon coil. Worked well until they learned to undo the buckle.

I hear that wearing a bright red shirt in June is a good way to get noticed. :lookaroun

When my kids were still young enough that I determined what they wore, I bought cheap t-shirts in the same colors for them. (Hobby Lobby--$2.99)
Each morning they got to decide if it was green day or red day or yellow day.
It made it MUCH easier to look for a kid in a blue shirt than trying to remember that one was wearing red stripes and one was in grey and one was in pink Hawaiian print.
Plus--it makes for really cute photos--here's my kids all dressed in red with Winnie the Pooh.

lol the leashes r inhumane imo..... my parents never had 1 of those things when i was little (went 2 wdw since i was 2 years old and until now, 17) n those leash things IMO make ur kid look like s/hes bin walked like a dog or something. I know these r a great invention but what if they unbuckled it and u thought they were bhind u, then u may never know when they got out. I also know it can b scary losin a kid, but as long as ur attentive (my mom was) have more than 1 set of eyes on them, allow them 2 stick close, and teach them not 2 run, they wont get lost. I donno personally i'm against human leashes, i'm not saying that some aren't attentive parents (because im positive that most of u all r), just i'm more in favor of the shirt thing, or give ur kid a walkie talkie in a back pack or a pouch thing n make it like a game if u cant find them u call them, n they call back or something...... :: hides from parents who start boo-ing n throwing stuff :: :lookaroun

I'm not going to boo and I'm not going to hiss.
What I will say is:
it's obvious that you are not the parent of a toddler.
It's really not practical to give a cell phone to a 2-year old.

When I first saw the leashes for kids i was a little mortified, but then I gave it some thought. When a kid sees Disneyworld for the first ( or second or thrid) time all of the stay close, hold Mommy or Daddy's hand etc goes out the window. If this gives a measure of security and safety to a parent, I say go for it. The children in Disney are probably safer than they would be in other areas, but it isnt perfect and to believe so is only kidding ourselves!! Enjoy your trip!!! Belle
Sorry, I guess it wasn't on here that I saw the neon green reference after all. LOL I admit it, I'm a Disney forum cumpulsive! I looked at other boards before wdwmagic. But I promise, other that Passporter, this is the only other board that I registered with.
I'm not a booer or hisser either so come on out of hiding. I would like to point out though that STOP is not in my son's vocabulary. Although I have deffinately tried to get him to understand this word. I never worry about him unhooking himself and not knowing about it because he is always dragging me in whichever direction he wants to go. Since he is always in front of my I don't have to worry. Also he has never tried to unhook himself. He loves walking with it. He stays with my grandmother and my disabled mom while I work. I require them to only take him outside for walks on the leash, because neither one could catch him if he got away. One day a police officer drove by then turned around and pulled up next to my mom and told her he sure wished he had thought of that when his children were younger.
All of my friends harrass me because I am so protective of Hagan. I am deffinately very attentive. But I'm also one to remove objects he can get hurt on or break when we go to someones house. I just feel like preventing a problem is much better than dealing with it when it happens. This is my reasoning for the leash.

If you ever go during a rainy season buy a blue poncho at Walmart, or Walgreens. That is a really easy way to find your group in the middle of yellow poncho season.
