Animal Kingdom Element Swap
Whoo-hoo! :woohoo: It’s swapping time again!! Here is the info for the AK half of the AK/MK Element Swap—KAMommy has started another thread for the MK half. I totally copied her directions, but she’s good with that. . .what are friends for? Thanks, too, to AWM for the sign-up guidelines that we used to set ours up!! You’re awesome!! :thumbsup2
The due date for this swap is February 28th (that is when I need to receive your package). Please mail packages to me by February 21st. I will be mailing everything I have back to you on or before March 5th –this is a FIRM date, since we will be leaving for WDW shortly after that.
The Details
1. Choose a group. There are four to start with. Two are divided into sections of Animal Kingdom (you’d pick one of the listed sections) and two are generic Animal Kingdom (you’d pick a ride or area of interest). (I will open a fifth group if there is enough interest—it will be general AK). For starters, please limit yourself to two groups, so that everyone interested can swap. If I have extra slots, I will, of course, open them up.
2. Choose two elements for each slot you select – see the list below. Post your choices of elements and topic/land. It will be fine if some of the elements duplicate within a group. For example, in the 2 groups that are about the “sections”, it will be great if everyone did a topper for their land (but in the general groups it might not be necessary). Just think about what you want to receive back as you make your element selections.
3. PM me with your DIS name, name, home address, email address, and phone numbers. Email and phone numbers will only be used to follow up if I have not heard from you.
4. Post your weekly status on the Progress thread - which will be posted after the slots are filled.
You must check in 2 weeks prior to the due date. If I have not heard from you by then I will send you a pm or an email. I WILL ANGEL YOUR SPOT IF I DO NOT HEAR FROM YOU WITHIN TWO DAYS OF THE PM OR EMAIL.
5. Check the progress thread for your status - it will be updated with ship info and received info.
6. Packing Instructions - use a Ziploc for each person and put everything for that person into their bag. Please label each bag with your name so we know who made each element. You‘ll have 5 bags to enclose in the larger (gallon size) Ziploc bag for each group you are in - be sure to include your name, your DIS name and your group number. Include $4.05 for postage (or stamps if you don't want to send cash) to return your items. Delivery Confirmation is $0.50.
Please don’t send metered or click-it/ship-it postage – some hostesses have had issues with these.
7. PM me if you have problems and need to drop out or if an emergency happens (we all know things happen beyond our control sometimes), let me know so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help if needed.
8. There will be 5 people per group. There will be a total of 4 or 5 groups.
9. HAVE FUN!! :dance3:
