In current cosmological models, large-scale structure grows hierarchically in a cold dark matter dominated universe. However, the details as to how spiral galaxies form their disks are still quite unknown. The Milky Way presents an ideal galaxy to study since we can observe individual stars within its disk. Recent studies indicate that the formation of the Galactic disk is very complex, and may include the direct accretion of stars from satellite galaxies. I will discuss new spectroscopic techniques that can be used to determine accurate fundamental parameters of stars within the disk. I will then show how this information can be used to answer the question, are there accreted stars in the Galactic disk?
