Bonnet Creek PAY IT FORWARD..PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW FOR NEW THREAD!

[1GR8DISNEYFAN]

Hi everyone in group one:

We will be at Bonnet Creek at the end of June and are planning to purchase a crock pot for some easy cooking in our villa. Since we are flying, I am planning on leaving the crock pot in the pay it forward box. I wanted to let those who are after us know, in case anyone else is planning on cooking in the villa and could use a crock pot.

Only two more weeks!

That is so generous of you! What a great idea. We are in group #1 in Aug., might have to put it to use. Thank you.

That's great!!
We love crock pot cooking on vacation (camping too), it is so wonderful to come home to dinner ready to eat. Our favorite meal is Pork Tenderloin with Carrots and Potatoes. We had 3 crock pot meals when we were at Bonnet Creek!!

WOW! How cool is THAT!

So the skinny on BIN 2.

You don't need to buy any coffee filters. There's a permanent one in there and we added some paper ones as well.
Three child sized WDW ponchos. Assume they're all child sized-- we only unfolded one and the others looked the same. Such a nice donation!
I threw in 10 new dollar store ponchos that are great for Kali. All 10 are present because someone (cough*me*cough) forgot them on our AK day and we got soggy.
Most of a bottle of laundry detergent. Quite a few dryer sheets.
Ample cooking oils and sprays.
Most of a bottle of vinegar.
Syrup/ketchup/mustard, salt & pepper
Jar of basil leaves.
Some sugar/aspartame/splenda packets
Couple packs of pizza sauce
Box of Apple Jacks
Various things I've forgotten

Obviously, this will change quickly. Pretty sure the oils/vinegar/ketchup/etc will be around for a while as will the coffee filter.

I wasn't able to find a Target to get a rubbermaid tub so it is currently in the same Target reusable grocery bag and I added a large non-reusable Disney bag. I'm so sorry! If anyone does a Target or WalMart run during their trip, a tub would be marvelous.

Bell services went off without a hitch. I actually picked up twice as another Diser who wasn't able to be on the list gave me her stuff, too (and wowza did it help us out!). The first pick up, the guy asked me why this bag appeared every week, and mentioned a blue tub. He thought it was ingenious! They asked when I dropped off, too.

Somehow I knew that Blue Tub would get noticed. I wonder if the LGMH's have managed to stay attached.

Funny when I explained it the bellhop dude he looked at me like I had three heads.

 

[snowangel72]

I guess I need snowangel to pm me with her reservation name if no one else is going to take bin #2 before her.

PM'd ya Grace

I'm looking for Heath_Bar who is listed before me for box one? I have searched for the name and have come up with nothing. I don't know if the punctuation is wrong, I'm going to keep trying to search, but if they are around, please PM me! Thanks!

ETA: I found them, but they only have 9 posts, so I can't send an PM. What to do?

They can still receive a PM, they just can't send a PM until they have 10 posts.

I am here now with Bin #2. I thought I'd give an inventory:

1 Can Apple Nectar
1 Permanent Coffee Filter
2 Single Serving Cinnamon Spice Oatmeal in tupperware container
1 Roll Aluminum Foil
2 Boboli Pizza Sauce Packets
3 Strawberry Cereal Bars
Mustard
Salt
Pepper
1 Box Strawberry Jello
Basil
Various Sugar, Equal, Sweet n Low Packets
1 1000 piece Disney puzzle
Bottle Vegetable Oil
Bottle Olive Oil
Grill Cooking Spray
3 Bottles pancake Syrup
8 bags of coffee
Tons of Laundry Detergent
Wet Wipes
Bandaids, Moleskin, Alcohol Wipes
Nightlight Bulb & nightlight
Bottle of Vinegar
Bounce Fabric Softener
Ketchup
15 rain ponchos
Granola Bars
Chips
Cokes
Sprites
Popcorn
Glass Wipes
Clorox Wipes
Dish Soap
Beach balls


I don't know how I am going to fit all of this into the bags we got the stuff in. I will do the best I can!
I think I'll ask concierge if they have any boxes. I'll also add whatever we have leftover.

 

[ClanHarrison]

OMG!!! Bin #2 has exploded with growth since my stay in April . I think I put in the grill spray (we never even used it) and intended to add our full box of foil but somebody ended up putting it back into the kitchen island drawer. The little night-lite was so on-time. Even though we didn't have littles with us, I loved having the hallway dimly lit overnight. Sounds like a lot of cool stuff in there.

No one has had a chance to switch the bag to a bin yet? Wish I was there...else I'd do it. Hey...anything to be in Orlando again .

 

[two*little*birds]

Anymore thoughts on the possibility of a third sign-up?

 

[MDsMomma]

Bin #2- I wish we had picked up a bin but I didn't even think of it when I was at Target. I'm also assuming the 3 disney ponchos are childs. I'm glad to see things were added and things we added were used.

This was a great idea whoever started it. Bell services has definately caught on by now and they gave a smile when we dropped it off..

 

[snowangel72]

I will be there early July, if there isn't a bin yet I will do my best to remember to pick one up

 

[justwinnie]

You are added!!

Thank you! I forgot to check in to see the status! So excited about this!

 

[dinglefitzberry]

Could someone please help me out here. We stayed at Bonnet Creek in February 2011 and plan to stay again in Feb 2012. We threw away so much stuff we could have donated. How does this work?

The bin is left with the bellhop. You pick it up when you arrive, use the stuff in it then when you leave you put your unused stuff into it and leave it with the bellhop for the next taker

Thank you for explaining. So do I find someone on the boards to agree to leave the bin for me and then someone who I can leave it for? Or do you just ask the bellhop if he has a bin. Are there different bins for the different towers? We stayed in tower 6 and hope to stay there again next year. Sorry for all the questions but it really sounds like a great idea.
