Attention Sept. Aulani guests!

[blondietink]

Saw this on another message board: Pay it forward

The general idea is that most of us staying at Aulani are flying in/out and often have to leave food, beach toys etc. behind. It is a shame to waste these things by throwing them in the trash. We do tend to eat in our room twice a day and make sandwiches for when we are out touring during the day to eat in the car. Typically we have some food left over such as eggs, butter, bread, salad stuff, pop, etc. we cannot fit in our suitcases, nor would we want to pack them up for a 12 hour flight.

Instead of throwing this stuff out, it would be great to leave them to the next person. Could take them down to luggage storage to put in their refrigerator until the next person picks them up.

It would be a way for the next guest in line to have a few groceries for their villa instead of having to race to the grocery store right away.

Anybody interested? We arrive Sept. 8th and leave on Sept. 15th.

This is a great idea. I wish there is a sticky somewhere to co-ordinate. I'll be there April 7 - 12, if anyone is interested (PM me please).

Last year there was something like this set up to leave a tote with leftover items with bell services but it seems that mgmt put a stop to it before our trip. I often either post something to DIS that we are leaving and have leftovers and ask to have others send me a PM. The morning we left Aulani we found a family who took our extra bottled water and other unopened items. I never know if people want to take opened items from strangers

We arrive on the 14th of September. Would love your leftovers!

the exchange ended not long after we were there.. sadly we had placed a few sets of snorkeling gear in there instead of bringing them home and our entertainment book... sadly future DVC members didn't get to use the stuff much longer.
