To sign "disappointment", form a "1" handshape with your dominant hand, extending your index finger while curling the others. Bring the tip of your index finger to your chin and tap it gently. Be sure to include a disappointed or let-down facial expression to clearly convey the emotion.
Sign "disappointment" by tapping your chin with your index finger, then use signs for "hide" and "cancel". Your facial expression should shift from disappointed to neutral to show hiding the emotion.
After signing "disappointment", you can emphasize the intensity by making the movement slightly sharper and exaggerating your let-down facial expression to show it was a "huge" letdown.
Point to the person, sign "disappointment", and then point to yourself. Make sure your eyebrows are raised and your head is slightly tilted forward to indicate a yes/no question.

No, they are different. While both convey a sense of something not happening, 'miss' (as in missing an event) is signed by grasping at the air in front of your face, whereas 'disappointment' is signed by tapping the chin.
You can tap your chin either once or twice. A single, slightly heavier tap often emphasizes a strong, sudden feeling of disappointment, while a gentle double tap is commonly used in general conversation.
You should use your dominant hand. If you are right-handed, use your right index finger to tap your chin, and if you are left-handed, use your left hand. Consistency with your dominant hand helps keep your signing clear.
