Thanks for letting me know. Wow, I used packing tape and put them on both lids (inside). We thought it would help with what not to leave or how to return the bins. Guess that idea didn't work.

When I re-started Bin #1 I failed to put in any instructions. My bad!

 

[sherabby]

Is bin #2 new since you left the instructions? If you remember the instructions and send them to me, I would be happy to replace them for #2. I am not there until November though. I am new to the bin thing, so not sure what instructions are helpful.

There were no instructions in bin 2 when we took it Aug 12th. There were dryer sheets and laundry soap though in a separate bag when we dropped it off at the bell desk.

Whew...a whirlwind week so far - just on computer for a moment, but I did get Bin 2...the AAA parking pass has been awesome! Some things didn't make the storage time well (the nightlight burnt out after 30 minutes, so it probably got jostled alot in storage, as did a few other things), but just having the bin has been great! The kids called it like Christmas when they opened it!

No instruction sign in Bin 2 - but I'll use ziplocs (or toss) anything I think might contaminate other things when I put it back - thanks for the reminder!

So glad to hear you got the bin with no problems!!!
Thanks for posting
Glad to hear that parking pass has been great. I am looking forward to using that since my knee and foot have been giving me a fit lately. That shorter walk to the car will be great
How do you like your BC room? What tower are you in?
Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!!

Okay, I was really tired last night - I looked again and there ARE instructions here...

We're in Tower 3 and it's GREAT! Even a parking lot view from floor 6 gives us a beautiful view of a lake and fountains of another hotel - if you get parking lot view, see if you can get a high floor in this tower...and it's perfect for reaching all the different pools (we've been to them all except the one at the main center), mini golf, and the bar and pizza (no walk at the end of the night to get kids food - it's right here!)...we're gonna pick Tower 3 from now on!

Oh, and a tip for picking up Bin 2 - get a rolling cart from bell services! The bin is heavy!

Can you please take my name off the list for a bin.

Hi, I'm a newbie. Just booked our first trip to Disney World. Sooo excited!

Is it too early to request the bin for March 9-16, 2013?

 

[BadgerGirl84]

Hopefully someone can get an instruction sheet in Bin 1. In addition to the dryer sheets that scented everything, there was an open half bottle of wine and a used jar of peanut butter. We dumped the wine because we didn't know how old it was and I think we dumped the peanut butter because you just never know if someone stuck. Their finger in it or something.

Also, that AAA parking pass that was stated to be on Bin 1 was not in the bin when I looked. Perhaps someone left it in their ar or maybe I just missed it.

 

[blessedby3]

My family of 8 will be arriving on Oct 6th, checking out Oct 13th. Is there a bin available?

Looks like Bin #2 is available from Oct 8th to the 13th. Bumping your post. Better to have the bins in peoples hands then in storage. Disney4us will have to add you to the list, though...as long as it is still available.

Yes, no problem. Thanks for letting me know!

I added you to Bin #1, once your post count is up to 10 you will be able to send and receive PM....this will allow you to share contact info with the DISers on either side of your stay. Just keep checking back for any updates the closer you get to your trip. The DIS boards have a crazy amount of great info for a first time trip!!!

Sorry I missed your post! Yes, as blessedby3 said...Oct 8-13 is available. Would you like it for those days? Let me know!!!

Thanks so much! I think this is such a wonderful idea. We usually try to find someone at the end of our trip who is just checking in to use the stuff we can't take back, so this will be perfect.

Hi everybody,

I took the opportunity to de-glitter and purge the "old" stuff in bin 2 (expired coupons, broken/incomplete stuff, etc) and I brought it back to bell services in the main building tonight...I added a bunch of stuff to the bin (all bottled beverages and food products are from this week and for those wondering, the current contents of the VERY full bin (subject to change by person) are:

4 qt crockpot
AAA parking pass (in folder in crockpot)
2012 Entertainment book
deck of cards
multiple travel tissue packs
mini sewing kit
badge holders/ID pouches
8 pack 12 oz bottles of Sprite, CF Diet Coke, and (6) of Mott's apple juice
4 pack of Margarita wine coolers
4 Yuengling beers
Bendy Straws
All laundry products (stain remover, detergent, fabric softener - varying quantities)
5 adult ponchos
a set of water wings and 1 swim noodle
All dishwashing products (dishsoap and dishwasher detergent)
Aim toothpaste (full size - unopened)
Windex wipes
Coffee/popcorn/tea
1 pack travel Tylenol
1/2 bottle veggie oil
1/2 roll packing tape

Hope this helps those who are planning (and everyone who gets Bin 2 in the future, I hope you enjoy your trip and the bin like I did...

I'll take the blame for the wine. We opened it the night of August 25th, and left it for the next person (since it would only sit for a few hours), figuring they'd dump it if they didn't want it. I did note it in the PM, though. I'm also sorry you didn't get to use the coffee filters we left.

Parking pass was there when we dropped it off on Aug 17th. we never used it since we had a handicap access.

Since we are all confessing..:0) I should have known better and placed the dryer sheets in a ziplock... I even had one with me I guess I just didn't think! Sorry!!!

My family felt very blessed the whole vacation for having the opportunity to both enjoy the fruits of others' vacations and to pay-it-forward to others at the end of ours! We've been in Florida on vacations many times and this was the 1st time we've had this opportunity. Thanks to you all (and especially Disneyforus for organizing) and we hope to be a bin swapper again when we get our 2013 dates planned!
