Wyndham Bonnet Creek Pay It Forward Bin OUTDATED

Dis5150 said:
I am going to try and start Bin 1 on my trip next month. As I will have Bin 2 at that time, I was going to wait to see what it looked like so I could buy what I needed at Walmart during our grocery shopping trip when we get there. But looking at the schedule, @goodbunny leaves the day I arrive, so I may not be able to see it before I go shopping. And I highly doubt DH will let me go shopping a second time. So could someone PLEASE tell me what the bins look like (how many gallon tote, etc.)?? I MAY be able to get another orange one, as it will be closer to Halloween, but is it okay if I get another color (just not teal)?

I didn't see this until now! Sorry!

I started the teal bin. I basically bought a bin that was on clearance at Target (hence the teal) Any color works, except don't get grey - it's the same color housekeeping uses and the manager we talked to at WBC wondered if that was why they kept going missing. I can't remember how many gallons I got and it really doesn't matter. We've had all sizes! (I made sure to get one big enough to fit a personal size crockpot because those end up in there sometimes.

I have a sheet I can send you with instructions that I taped inside all the bins when I was there. If you 'll PM me your email I can send it off to you!

As for the outside, at one time one had DISBOARDS PIF BIN #1 written in sharpie on the lid and base. I didn't even think about doing it to the teal one!


Thanks so much for doing this if you get a chance. If not I'll restart in October

@Chelley00 did you get my message with my email address? I don't mind putting it here either, Dis5150@aol.com

Thanks!
 


Just wanted to thank Chelley00 for running this pay-it-forward system. We just got back (and dropped the box off for goodbunny - let me know you got it:) and we used a lot of stuff in the box and filled it back up on the way out!:) For those wondering what's currently in it, there is a life-saving soft-sided cooler (used this every day), a 2015 Entertainment book, a night light (didn't use, so not sure if it will need a lightbulb - it's in the cooler:), lots and lots of coffee/spices/toiletries/extras of room items, some canned goods, lots of single serve beverages of all types (these are all new from me), laundry products, packaging tape/permanent markers/index cards to relabel the box (I bought these items b/c there were nothing to relabel the box, so I bought enough that we should be good for awhile), and more. It's fun to open and fun to repack! Hope it's still running next year, so I can pass it along for a 3rd time!
 
Yay! Thank you for checking in! And thanks for restocking the packing tape and markers. Not sure what happened to the ones I put in there when I started it?

I am looking to sign up for the orange box from 10/28--11/01, 2015. I do not have any posts and am new to this. Please help me out. Thanks
 
I will be at Bonnet Creek from 10/24--11/1 and am looking forward to helping with the bin. This is such a good idea as we went to people in the parking lot giving away a lot of our goodies that we could not bring home on the plane the last visit!!

You'll nee to check the first post for availability and instructions. A lot of your dates are already taken.
 
We are going to be there from 11/17 - 11/22. I see somebody has the teal bin up until the 18th but we'd love to join in and get it on the 18th when they are finished with it. :) We have 3 little boys so I am sure we will have several things left over to add. :)

Please check out the first post and then PM me with your info. Thanks!
 
I would love to be involved the bin #1 that is being restarted. We will be there 12/12-12/17
 
All right, bin 1 is now purple! Both bins are in Bell Services, labeled and ready for the next on the lists. We had fun using them. Since I just started bin 1, I put some of the stuff that had doubles of them from bin 2 into bin 1, then added a few things from our trip. Bell Services had no idea what I was looking for when I got there but they let me in to look around. Both bins are written on in magic marker with "Disboards Wyndham Bonnet Creek Pay it Forward", either bin 1 or 2. Hopefully they will both stick around for a while, lol! :)

I was happy to do it, especially since I am signed up again for that bin in November, lol. We finally made it to Super Target to get the bin on Sunday night. All my plans of cooking dinner every night went out the window after my 2 step daughters, who had never been to Disney, wanted to enjoy every possible second in the parks! So needless to say I was way to exhausted to do Walmart or Target at 11:00 at night. We did buy food for Monday night and cooked in the condo and it was great!

ETA: Being on both lists at the same time, then later in the year is super confusing when you are exhausted, lol! I double and triple checked to make sure I was leaving each bin for the correct person at the correct time, then had DD25 check again for me. I may have put someone's arrival date as 9/29 instead of 9/27 on the card on the bin, but WBC doesn't care. They just look for your name. And Bell Services people were super nice and helpful. Just ask to go in and look if they can't find them. I did tell each and every person I talked to that they were being picked up by a guest who is checking in after I checked out.
