Hey! On the fall/fall advantage thread we discussed a box. The box gets sent around to everyone who is participating and in it is a journal and various things that everyone adds in. In the journal we describe ourselves and put in pictures to get to know each other!
This box is for people doing the Fall program. Anyone who is interested should post and pm me their address.
If anyone has ideas or rules that we should use (only keep the box for 3 days, etc.) let us know.
:cool1:

this is the box idea from sweater in june. It was on the faq thread, but i thought i would post it here for people to understand better.
I don't know if this is something that interests you, but 7 of us from Spring '03 did something called "The Box". It wasn't an original idea among us, as someone else had done it prior...anyhow. One person starts it and compiles a list of addresses of the participants. He/she also buys a journal or some sort of blank book--hardbound is a plus, but nothing too big or bulky...dollar stores are great for this. Each person will take 1-2 pages and put some photos of themselves, a brief bio and description of where you live (picture!), and a favorites list about Disney related things, etc. (Ride, Park, character, food, color,...). We filled the box with a few Disney related gifts, DVDs, CDs, books,etc. Ours, by the end included:
-pencils, pens, erasers, stationery, princess bubbles, candy(NO CHOCOLATE! It melts!--use good judgement).
-DVDs: MMC, DL Sing-A-Long, Modern Marvels, Travel Channel Specials, etc.
-Books: Imagineering field guides, Mousecatraz, park maps, etc.
-CDs: Soundtracks, park music
-Gifts: Socks, Disney bubbles, stickers, any other gifts for your new friends!
Be sure to tag certain gifts for each member, if it matters what they take. We also included a postcard or letter...to be opened first which explains what we included, why, and what each person could take, if it wasn't tagged. Some were obvious, if there's a pack of untagged pencils, you get one. Multiple erasers? Take one, etc.
Finally, after filling the box, and the first few should not fill it all the way, he/she sends it out to the person below them on the address list (in a flat-rate box available at your local post office--this way everyone pays the same amount, regardless of weight). DO not forget to include the address list and rules sheet when you pack the box (and have a copy of the address you're sending to outside). The rules list includes many of the guidlines here...I can send a run-down of our if you're interested.
We had one major rule: everyone gets 2 days with the box and it MUST be sent off!
This way everyone has a chance to get it at least twice, to put their offerings in, and recieve gifts/materials from those below them. Again, keep the group small. Whoever has the box last, closest to leaving brings it down with them.

That is pretty cool. So, that last person brings it to Florida and then what? Do we all get together?
CelticBelle
03-12-2008, 12:30 AM
i think that the last person that brings it should be someone who is driving so that someone that is flying, or coming from really far away doesn't have to try and bring it.
CelticBelle

Is anyone else interested? We have plenty of time before our Cp but we can start compiling a list of people and start our box so it can get around several times.

Hi!
I'll do it!! However, I don't trust the mail system here so maybe I should wait until summer break to join in. I live in a secure building down at school and the delivery people can't get in.. so they just don't deliver packages!---it's sweet :mad:

I think that would work if thats what you want to do. When do you get out for summer? I know everyplace is different.

CelticBelle
03-27-2008, 11:19 AM
I have a notebook we can use. Its one of those composition notebooks. and ive started looking for some stuff to put into the box. I think right now we have 4 people: Carlos, sam, piglet, and snow princess. (sorry i didnt know your names:confused3)
Since we have so much time I think we can wait for a few more people and then start it.
Does anyone have any other cool ideas for the box? I thin k it would be fun if we each decorated the front of the notebook too. Like you can add stickers or whatever on the front to personalize it before you send it on.
Here are some of the rules that were discussed on other threads:
1. The person with the box can only keep it for blank number of day before having to send it off again. (4-5 may be good)
2. No chocolate or anything that may melt.
3. The last person to have to box brings it to wdw with them.
Anyone have any other rules?

Hey, I am doing the Fall Advantage box, and I just wanted to say that 5 days would probably be too long. It's already taken us about a month/20 days just to get it to person number 4, and that's with us doing it 2 days. (Meaning the day you get it doesn't count and the day you send it off doesn't count. So I got the box on Monday, I am sending it off today--Thurs). You probably don't want to go any longer than that if you want it to reach everyone more than once. :) :) :) (And that's the REAL fun part!)
CelticBelle
03-27-2008, 07:48 PM
Thanks for the heads up. I know that you guys dont have too much time and we have a whole 2 1/2 months longer, but its good to know how much time it takes to get from person to person.

ok so now we have 6 people! woo hoo! Ok when do you guys want to start sending the box? Do you want to wait for more people to join or do you want to start it now and add people later. It will take a while just to get from person to person too. We should also decide on a cap of the amount of people to include so the list isn't too long. I was thinking that when I get everyones email addresses we can organize them by distance so that the box doesnt have to go across the country and then right back again. Maybe that way it wouldn't take as long to travel.
Ok let me know what you guys think!

All those ideas sound great. I'm on board for capping it off or it might get out of hand but I wouldn't know how many people is too little or too many. I do know that last summer my friends and I did a traveling notebook (we got the idea from the traveling pants) and it took us forever and we were in the same state and there were only 7 of us! But if people made sure not to hold onto it for weeks, I think like 10 or so would be good?
I think it makes sense to map out the box's itinterary based on geography too.
Just an idea, but we could wait until like the end of April, just to see how many people join then, and then start the box. I'd guess that we'd have all the people we could manage by the end of the month. But that's just an idea!

i think i am going to try to send it out in the next week or so. Its been crazy with the start of a new quarter, work and im trying to pick up a minor so that the CP will count for something.
If you guys send me your addresses then I can gether them and hopefully get the box out sooner.
I also got a list of the rules that the FA people are using from tyler. I will post them here later and include a copy in the box too.

04-05-2008, 06:08 PM
I have addresses for carlos, Allie, and Lora. I still need addresses for piglet, porterella, akemi, and kandeebunny. Im not sure who has officially accepted or not, so im not sure who i should include on the list so far. We still have the option to add people to the end of the list later and start sending the box nox so it gets going. let me know what you think.
Here is the list of rules as made by tyler for the fall advantage box:
“The Box” WDWCP Fall 2008 RULES:
1. Each person gets up to 2 days with “The Box”, not counting the day on which it is received, before it must be sent on to the person below you on the list. For example, if Alice gets “The Box” on Monday, she must send it off by Thursday to Dopey. The last person to receive “The Box” should send it to the person who started it and the cycle will repeat at least once, allowing people to include and retrieve items. (An ending date will be May 10th and this person is expected to bring the box with him/her to FL.)
2. When you receive the box, please unpack it carefully! Not everything in the box will be for you alone, or even for you at all. You are responsible for the care of these gifts, just as the others are responsible for the care of your gifts. Make sure these and any gifts you contribute make it into “The Box” before it is sent off.
3. In the journal, please take 1-2 pages to share a bit about yourself, where you’re from, and your favorites. It would also be nice to include a photo or two so we can put a face with a name and maybe even a name with a location!
4. Please include a postcard, note card, etc. to say hello and briefly describe what you’ve contributed to “The Box” and what people are allowed to take if it isn’t obvious. If you have a specific gift for each person involved, please tag them so that there is no confusion. These cards should all be kept together and placed with the rules sheet and address list to be read first.
5. CDs, DVDs , books etc. may be watched, read, listened to, or even copied (if possible), but they remain the property of whoever contributed them. Make sure these and all other shared items make it into “The Box” before it is sent off.
6. While some candies are okay, please refrain from including perishable/melt-able foods like chocolate. It’s a sweet gift, but not when it’s melted to someone’s new pair of socks or a shared book! ;-)
7. Gifts can be related to a unique hobby you enjoy, where you live, etc., but most of the things included should be related to Disney or something to help you during the WDWCP.
8. The best way to package “The Box” is to obtain a ‘Flat-Rate’ box from your local post office. The boxes themselves cost nothing and are, I believe, $8.95 to mail on to the next person, regardless of weight! “The Box” will get heavy, so this will save you money and makes it fair for everyone.
9. This is NOT a contest to see who can spend the most money! Include what you can, but don’t break the bank! You’ll want your money in FL! If you’re artistic, you can make a special gift for your new friends. Great Disney things/useful gifts can often be found at your local dollar store, Target Dollar Zone, and even Walmart! Plus, you may have a great book, Movie/Park Soundtrack, or recorded TV special (*hint* The TRAVEL Ch. airs these all the time and has 4 brand new specials to be aired in the coming months) that can be shared with everyone!
They are also putting a flat mickey (flat stanley) in their box. If you guys want to do that also it sounds like a lot of fun. Let me know so I can make one up.
CelticBelle
04-05-2008, 10:55 PM
So... i just spent the last fex hours working on stuff for the box. I have everything ready to be shipped out to the first person...almost. I still have to write about myself, then just get the box and mail it. I did make a flat mickey. Due to my lack of drawing talent I printed a picture offline and cut it out. He's darn cute though! So when someone gets the box they can take a picture with flat mickey somewhere...campus etc. and include that in the journal with the rest of the stuff. Im pretty excited about this! Now I just need those last peoples addresses. Dont worry, we can add people later if your not sure if your accepted yet.

Though in your rules the person who gets the box May 10th keeps it and brings it...thats a bit...off since most of us wouldn't be leaving until August!

The rules that i posted are the rules that tyler is using for the fall advantage box. They leave in May so these rules are tailored to their schedule. I will include a copy of these rules in the box, but will edit them before hand. I didnt edit the whole thing before i posted it on here. If people have any suggestions of things to add/take off, then i will do that at the same time.

pm me your address anyway. Ill try and send the box out this weekend, but no promises because I have a huge weekend coming up and 2 midterms this week. If i dont send it out this weekend it will be next week sometime. (next weekend meaning the 19th) If by some strange chance you dont get in, then you can be taken off, but of course i dont see that happening.;)

I have 7 people with their addresses ready to do the box. They are: Myself(sam), Carlos, Allie, Lora, Kristi, Aubrey, and Jyl. There was 2 other people piglet, and Porterella, but i never heard anything from them, so i will just send this out when I can with everyone on the list participating.
The box will start with me in California and go to Brittany, Lora, Allie, Jyl, Aubrey, Kristi and Carlos in that order. That way the box moves from one coast to the other and doesnt have to be shipped back and forth randomly. As soon as I get to the post office I will get the box in the mail to Lora.

Ok so I havent sent the box out yet.:confused3 I will do it this week I promise! Last week was sooo chaotic. I had a very large event for school. Its an open house thing and our marching band does a ton of stuff. I was busy for 60 hours straight with about 10 hours sleep total!
So we have the above 8 people. but since I havent started it I will add cupcake, to the beginning since she is in Ca. So since wee have 9 people :scared1: well have to get the box from person to person very fast. I think we should get the box on one day (monday) then keep it for a full day (tuesday) and then try and get it sent out the next day (wednesday). That way we can all get it within the next month/month and a half. hopefully.

Tyler's the only guy on the FA box, so I went out and bought some Cars stuff to make it a little more masculine. Most of our box is pretty neutral-type stuff, but then I covered it in princess stickers so there went that. Hope you guys have an awesome box!

The box sounds like so much fun but I didnt want to commit to anything else. I have so much going on trying to make it so I can 'go'...
I hope that you guys post some of the details of whats in the box, and all that, so that those of us 'non box people' can pretend along.

OK so Sam said she was mailing the box to me on Friday. So I should get it tomorrow. I have my stuff all ready to put in, so I will definitely send it out right away.
I think its a good idea for us to post here when we receive the box, and also when we send it out so the next person knows it's coming and can prepare. That should help us keep the box moving fast and we'll always know where it is. What do you think of that idea?

Sounds good to me too. SO the box should get to you within 3 days i think. So if they dont count friday it ill be tuesday or wednesday. I hope it gets there fast. I think you may be able to use the same box, but im not positive about that.
Oh I had stickers I was going to decorate the box with, but they ended up inside the box, so have fun!

Hey... I would really like to be part of this as well. Plus, I know another girl not on the boards that would be interested. I hope its not too late.
The only thing is, I cant really do it until I leave school. It takes longer for our mail system to get us mail. Plus, I am graduating in 3 weeks and have soooooooo much work to do in 2 weeks, that I would not be able to be creative or devote enough time to the box.

Our box is not open to anymore people, but the last person that asked I recommended to her that she start another box. there are so many people and more people are still being accepted. If you put an announcement on the fall cp thread you may be able to get a group together before your done with school in the next few weeks. Then you can start it when you have more time.
Hope that helps. Good luck!

i dont understand the shipping labels on paypal. Care to explain?
kandeebunny
05-26-2008, 04:58 PM
When you log in to your paypal click on Merchant Services.
There will be a menu and under shipping and tax there is a link for "Multi-Order Shipping"
Click on that and you can input addresses and labels, then check out all at once. It automatically adds delivery confirmation for the 18 cents.
Then you print out the label and tape it on the package.
You can input the weight/dimensions, but since we are using a flat rate just check off flat rate.
After you use it once it will be in the upper left hand corner on your account overview page.

If the need arises, I would be willing to start a new box, I'd just need the rules and the sending list either e-mailed or pm'd to me as well as some additional ideas of what to start with. I have a couple extra spiral bound journals hanging around, and my stuff for the box.

As I type this, my dad is at the post office sending the box to Aubrey! It is stuffed full. I really didn't think I put that much in. I even took stuff out! Sorry. I probably should have seen if there was a larger box at the post office, but I really wanted to get it out as soon as possible. I didn't even have it for 24 hours. It's okay though. I had everything ready and I took my time yesterday reading and writing. Hope everyone enjoys! It's awesome!

The box has arrived in Plattsburgh, NY! I don't have much time to fuss with it today, seeing as how I just got it and I have to go to work in a couple minutes, but I'll have it sent out to Kristi no later than Saturday. I called the post office up and they said they have a larger box, but the shipping will be 12.95 each time. I don't think we can fit anything else in this box, I had trouble putting the things that were already inside it BACK inside. So I'm going to go ahead and buy the larger box, and I'll get it shipped out on Saturday! Thanks for making the box so awesome guys, those of you that haven't gotten it yet definitely have something to look forward to.

Hey Everyone! It's been a while (almost a month actually) since I've logged onto here and I know some people are not very happy with me for how long I kept the box. I just wanted to explain to you all why, and then afterwards, if you still feel like hating me, then that's up to you I guess. The day I got it was a Thursday and was the day before two of my hardest finals of my college career (and the post office was already closed at that time anyways). Friday I was in finals all day (post office closed by the time I was done). Saturday I graduated from college (no time to get to post office and it's closed on sunday). Monday-Friday the following week, I started a new job that I work from 8am-5pm so when I was off work, the post office was already closed and since it was a new job, I didn't want to ask to leave early. That saturday was my graduation party and was extremely busy helping out with that and then again the following week I worked during post office hours. I don't have a mail man so I couldn't print the postage and have them pick it up and there really wasn't anyone around for me to ask them to do it for me. I had the box ready to go right away and I was literally stressing out about it every day and felt bad that I couldn't find anytime to get it on its way. The first opportunity, I went straight to the post office and sent it out. I'm only explaining this cuz I really am a nice person and I wasn't careless about it and wanted you to know that. Anyways, once it comes back around to me, I'll make sure to get it out the day after I get it since now I'm a little bit more trained in at work and can probably ask my boss to leave for 30 minutes if need be. Anyways, that's all. I hope you all are having a great day and hate me a little less now:(
CelticBelle

It's my fault you're still waiting - I've been in the hospital with my uncle who has a blood clot in his lung.. So Allie, I understand the feeling of stress and everything with trying to get the box out. It will be out by this weekend and I'm sorry it's taking so long.. with work and this new family issue I haven't even had time to read through the book but will gladly send it out without seeing everything since I can get it in Florida, haha.

By the way - I'm headed to Pembrooke (idk if that's how you spell it) on Saturday, where in NH are you? I have family there and if all goes well we're going to my cousin's grad party, and I knew you were from NH and was wondering where-abouts!
Hampton Beach, as far east as you can get lol!

It's my fault you're still waiting - I've been in the hospital with my uncle who has a blood clot in his lung.. So Allie, I understand the feeling of stress and everything with trying to get the box out. It will be out by this weekend and I'm sorry it's taking so long.. with work and this new family issue I haven't even had time to read through the book but will gladly send it out without seeing everything since I can get it in Florida, haha.
I hope your uncle is alright and everything works out well.:hug:

The box is on it's way, Kristi. Hopefully I decorated it well enough - we have the biggest flat rate box and things are still a little tight, haha. Enjoy, should be there soon.

I don't know if you guys are still accepting people for this, but I would really be interested in participating. I will be doing the College Program as a hopper Aug. 13th - Jan. 2nd. Let me know if I can join in. :thumbsup2

You're coming down the same day as me! :) I'm not in charge of the box though, so it's not my decision.

Id have to say no. We started this quite a long time ago and have a pretty large amount of people right now. Ive talked to other people who wanted to start another box, but Im not sure if they ever did.

Woohoo I got a GIANT STUFFED box today! I will get it back out tomorrow or Friday, if I get delayed I will let you all know. Friday is the Dr's so it all kind of depends how that goes!

I don't know if I'd call staying with my uncle in the hospital instead of going to ship a box out "taking my time"... We've still got a month to go, what's the rush

Considering we started organizing the box in aprilish, we have taken a while. I dont think most people have had the box too long or anything, I think just the number of people and having to wait for it to ship is taking a while. Im sorry youve lost interest Carlos. I was thinking of you when I was at the store today. ;)

I haven't logged on in a while and I kind of expected the box to almost be coming to me again but guess not. Its taking forever! It doesnt seem like we'll have time for it to go around again. People are taking too long to send it.

I will be mailing out tomorrow morning on my way to another Dr's appointment!

Well, the thing is that I'm leaving to Florida for vacation on Tuesday and I won't be back until July 16.
But now I'm happy the box is coming all the way to Puerto Rico. :cool1:

so carlos said he mailed the box last week and I should be getting it any day now! woo hoo. Then it will start its second time around. I dont think it will be making it around again, but we can meet up when we all get to florida and conclude everything.
Are you guys getting excited yet? I dont think its hit me that Ill be going to wdw! I havent been since I was 9 and dont remember much. Im super excited, but too busy working and taking classes to get hyped up.
:offtopic: Is anyone interested in buying an ipod touch? i got a brand new one through apple when I got my computer recently, but I need to sell it to buy plane fare and bills and all that good stuff. Im currently trying to sell it on ebay with not a whole lot of luck. If any of you guys are interested PM me. Again sorry to be whoring myself out on here, but I figured Id ask.
Have fun!

It's funny you should ask - I literally JUST bought an iPOD touch two days ago.. and I would have probably bought it from you had I known :(
BUT YES, I am super excited, and super nervous, all at the same time. I'm wondering if there's anyone on here who has gone down in a relationship who can give me some pointers on how not to go insane without my better half.....

I feel the same way. I live with my fiance and I dont know what Im gonna do with out him. Ill probably be worried sick half the time. (hes a firefighter :firefight )
The good thing is well be really busy. Its sad, but when your busy you dont have the time to linger over things or miss people badly.

Hi guys! I just wanted to let everyone know that i got the box on thursday, and was going to send it today, but due to not having an open post office i will be mailing the box out on monday. Only 1 more month!

so where is the box now?
We should start thinking about who should bring it down and when to stop it. I will be arriving the first date (aug. 11) but I know other people are arriving later. I think the box should keep going as long as it can instead of stopping when the first people leave. That way it can make it to a few more people in the extra few weeks.
...I hope that made sense
:thumbsup2

I mailed the box out on Monday, so I am pretty sure that Porterella has it by now. I had so much fun decorating the box. I put everything in a new one because the box had seen better days.
I agree we should figure out who the person would be to bring it. Maybe someone who is driving so they dont have to worry about it on a plane. Or whoever the last person is could mail it to you once you are at WDW since you get there on the 11th. You could email them your address. Might be easier than trying to take it with them. Just an idea.
CelticBelle
07-27-2008, 10:28 PM
i do think that is a good idea. Then the person has one less thing to worry about bringing.

this is the box idea from sweater in june. It was on the faq thread, but i thought i would post it here for people to understand better.
I don't know if this is something that interests you, but 7 of us from Spring '03 did something called "The Box".
Well, apparently, I made a typo... So, just so everyone knows the TRUE history of "The Box" it was Spring '07, not '03. I had been accepted in '03 as well and that's probably why I typed that.
Anyhow, I'm glad to see that you all are enjoying this project. I hope it is bringing as much magic to you all as it did to us! Best wishes on your programs!

Hey everyone,
Just wanted you all to know that I received the box today. By the looks of it, it took quite a while to get here but Alaska is pretty far away!! The post office is already closed but I am sending it out first thing in the morning when I go buy the new Jonas Brothers CD at Target when it opens (I'm a nerd, I know!). Anyways, I haven't looked yet to see who I am sending it too, but last time Jyl was next on the list and since she doesn't arrive till the 20th, that should still be okay. I'll look in the box to make sure!! Anyways, talk to you later! -Allie

oh no!! I just sent it out this morning, so I hope Aubrey hasn't left yet!
ETA: She's in Florida already. Sounds like I just royally screwed everything up. I'll see what i can do to fix it...
