CLOSED - FRIDGE LOST - The Under-POP-ulated Fridge Swap

[Avonlady1001]

Trust me, Maroo...not holding my breath either. LOL But, you never know. My sister is my travel agent, so maybe I won't have to make those calls either way, since I hear the travel agent online res system is doing well. Let her get up at 7. I'm so controlling though, I think I have to do it myself. How else can I know it's done right?

Well, I checked for a box, but they didn't have it. It's in a Walmart bag? I'll check for that. The box had my name on the top of it, but that was it. Ah well. If not, I have a new bottle of cleaner and a roll of paper towels to leave. I'll keep you posted.

By the way - fridge is great! I leave the bottles of water on the top shelf sitting on the tray that is under the freezer for catching water. The bottles will freeze there - actually, anything on the top shelf will get quite frosty for you.

Sorry guys I haven't had to be online much since our trip is over!LOL! But when we checked it in Marge's assistant had it in a Walmart bag just sitting on top of the fridge. When we took it all back to luggage services we put it back in the bag with a seperate tag with Sheresa's name on it. We put it on top of the fridge and duck taped it to it really well. I have no idea how it got off unless someone actually took it off because it was taped securely on top. When DH took it back he got specific instructions how to tape it on there and they said it was fine. I would just check with them it should be there. It was paper towels, tape, and cleaner! Shena

Bambi, Shena says it was taped pretty securely to the top. Sounds fishy to me. (not you, Shena...I mean after you dropped it off). What would someone in luggage services want with some paper towels. LOL

Hope you're having a magical vacation so far, Bambi!!!!!!!!!

Shena, did you tape the bag on top of the label w/ Bambi's name & arrival info? I can't think of any reason they would remove the bag except maybe that. Oh well. At least just the bag is missing & not the fridge. See, there's a bright side!

In the future, let's have all swappers put any extras INSIDE the fridge before taping the box, not on top. That should minimize any losses. Thanks, guys! So far the swap is going great!! I'm glad the fridge is meeting expectations so far!

I'm sooooo happy hubby got approve for his conference at Swan and Dolphin! He woke me up this morning to let me know his boss just emailed him to let him know the conference has been approved by the higher ups! WOW! Now I have to plan a whole other week!!!

 

[Avonlady1001]

JJ, that's HORRIBLE. I'm so sorry you have to plan for a whole other WEEK! LOL Congrats!! That's awesome!

 

[jjhardy]

I know it's such a downer that I have to plan more meals and activities! Oh what is a girl to do?

 

[Avonlady1001]

I know...I'm sure you'll suffer through it somehow.

Back from the Dominican Republic and ready to start really planning my Disney trip. I can make my ADRs on 5/31!!

I hope someone posts a picture of the box soon. That's too bad about the supplies getting lost. Maybe Disney stores things stacked and removed the bag? We need to keep a list going of what supplies are there so the next fridge user knows what they need to bring. I'm assuming most people don't pack paper towels normally ...

 

[Avonlady1001]

Bambilover comes home tomorrow. Maybe she took a pic of the box for us.

It's odd if the luggage guys removed the bag...Shena said they are the ones who told her DH the best way to attach it. Oh, well. The cleaning wipes, IMO, were the most important supply. We can use the towels in the bathroom for last day cleanout, or napkins from the food court, in stead of paper towels.

Just remember to bring packing tape! Everything else can be improvised.

Odd? Have you ever called and spoken to 2 different CMs and gotten the exact same answer to your question?

I always carry my Clorox wipes when we travel - if you get my seat on the USAirways planes we just flew on it will be very clean! Good point about being able to use paper towels/napkins that are already there - sometimes the obvious isn't obvious (to me anyway).

 

[budafam]

Hey, can you update the list so we're on it? I sent you an email earlier and we wanted the dates 12th-18th. Thanks!!!

You mean all the CMs don't say the same thing???? Well, I never...

I clean everything on the plane, too. LOL I get some interesting looks from the flight attendants & fellow psgrs, but I don't care. When we went down for DD's 1st birthday, we all got horribly sick. My mom ended up in the ER the first night & we all had nasty virus's. The ER doc said we got it on the plane. We had to rush DD to the first aid center in EPCOT, where they promptly called the ambulette guy to take us to the medical center...she ended up w/ croupe. Not a great trip...imagine me, DH, DD1, my pregnant sister & her DH, my mom, my other sis & her fiancee....ALL sick in the house we rented. Thank GOD we all had separate rooms & just as many bathrooms!! So, now, I wipe down EVERYTHING we touch on the plane...can't do much about the air we breathe, but I'll take whatever sanitizing I can.

 

[BambiLover]

I will take a pic of the box today - logging on to post this, then calling for them to come and pick it up.

I have a bottle of cleaner and a roll of paper towels INSIDE the fridge. The cleaner is in a grocery bag. I also left some packets of sunscreen, 6 AA batteries in a zip lock bag, and, for the next person, we had some things left over.

30 min card for the arcade at Pop, coupon for free round of mini golf, coupon for extra minutes if you rent a water sport vehicle for 60 min, some coupons for the discount Character Stores off property, stuff like that. Hope ya'll are doing well! Gotta run!

 

[Avonlady1001]

That's great, Bambi!! That's very nice of you!

Hope you had a wonderful time!! Sorry it's over already. Now, you can start planning the next one.

 

[dfluvsmick]

Guys... I leave tomorrow!!!! I am just too psyched! I cant wait to see the fridge and get started with my vacation. Talk to you all when I get back!!

 

[Avonlady1001]

Have a great time, Dawn!! "See" you when you get back.

 

[tinkerbell211]

I'm right behind you Dawn. Can't wait! Sounds like Bambilover left some nice goodies too. Have fun!

 

[BambiLover]

Well, guys. I got a call from dfluvs.. they can't find the fridge. However, I had a pic of two sides of the box, pic of her name on TWO pages, with all her info on the box and pic of the ID tag they taped to the box. So, when I spoke to them, they were going to keep looking. I sent a text (good thing we have nice technology!) w/ the ID tag, and they (luggage services) now think that the fridge is in someone else's room. Especially since that lady has a fridge waiting on her in luggage services w/ her name on it. Here's hoping this gets sorted quickly! dfluvs will get back in touch with me on whether they find it or not. So frustrating! But, it had only been there 48 hours - I really hope someone else has it, although I can't imagine how you can not see that someone else's name is on the box in big red letters. Oh well. I'll let you guys know!

 

[Avonlady1001]

That's disturbing. Please let us know as soon as you know something. I'm glad you took pics so they know what they're looking for. You said they taped an ID tag on it? That's gotta help them a bit...

I hope it's in that other room...but I don't get how that woman would take it!! Wonder if she's a dis-er. Probably not...a fellow dis-er wouldn't take the wrong box. At least I don't think so...
