Debra's Revived Double Stroller Swap ***FULL***

[debraW76]

Thanks Mary and welcome

Funny - my DH hates its a small world. When we went our first time as a family he insisted on taking the kids on it because he said "Our parents made us ride it so now we get to force them to ride it." He thought of it as a right of passage that every loving parent gets to use auditory and visual punishment by forcing their children to ride this and get the song stuck in their heads.

However it backfired because it wound up being the ride they loved the most!

That is funny, I'm glad your kids shared my favorite! My DD loved the viking ride at Epcot last time, but she was afraid of Pirates of the Caribbean, I'm wondering how it will all go this time. We've recorded several Disney shows from the Travel Channel and keep replaying them and she SAYS she wants to ride almost all of them, but we'll see when she's actually standing in front of them! I'm fine either way, my main focus so far has been figuring out the meals. I upgraded our DP so we could see Cinderella a couple of times because after everything we did do last time, as we were leaving I was asking my daughter, "Wasn't that the best trip ever, didn't you love it?!" and she simply replied, "But I didn't get to see Cinderella." Augh! I knew she was spoiled, but come on! So, we'll see her at least twice and now I'm obsessed with not missing anything this time, which I know is impossible, but it's my quest!

MsReneau,
Have you already made arrangements for donating the stroller? The reason I am asking is that we are going again in June and I am contemplating reviving this stroller swap until then. This would mean i would open up the dates between your trip and mine then I would donate it to a charity at the end of my trip (unless someone else wants to take over after that). Please let me know if this is ok with you.

All other swappers, please let me know if this is ok with you also.

Thanks,
Debra

Hello Everyone,

I am curious about how the stroller swap works. We will be there from Feb. 15-21 and I noticed it was available 15-18. We will be at the Wilderness Lodge.

How do you get it and how do you pass it along?

Thanks so much!!!

Hello DVCjones and welcome

I added your name to the list for Feb 15-18. Please PM Katiebrake and CSwan1 to arrange drop off and pick up. Then check back here to see if someone takes up the dates between you and Katiebrake. Face to face swaps are best but if it is not feasible then it can be left at luggage services for the next swapper (please remmeber to tip). Just be sure to include their name, ressie #, cell #, and check-in date.

****IMPORTANT****
When you get back from your vacation please stop by here and let us know how it went. We haven't heard from anyone using the stroller in over a month!

Hope you have a wonderful trip!

Debra

Bawb is a much loved member of the Dis Podcast Team. He passed away suddenly last Spring. He was a real hoot!!! He is missed by many people on the Podcast Board.

You should check out the podcast they are so funny and informative.

Please cancel me for March 8-9. A stroller opened up on another swap that is available for my entire trip. Thanks anyway, I am so proud of the swappers for working together to save money for all of us! I'm especailly grateful to debraW76 for doing so much organizing!

Hi Debra. No, I did not make plans to donate the stroller yet. I can leave it at bell services or wherever. Maybe even a face to face, we still have 45 days or so for you to find more swappers! Glad its going to continue. Maybe if you charged $10 or $15 to the new swappers, you could replace the stroller before your June trip. I'd be willing to take over the swap after your June trip!

Are you still planning to be part of the swap? I've tried to pm you, but you dont have 10 posts yet, we need to set up a time for a face to face swap. I'd like to pick up the stroller in the evening of the 17th, unless you are leaving in the morning, I could pick it up anytime, that is our first "break" day. If you aren't planning to use the stroller, please let us know so we can fill your spot asap. THanks!

We are going to WDW March 10-17 and would love to use the stroller during the open dates (I think 10-15?) of that period. Is the stroller still available?

We are staying offsite at Bonnet Creek and can pick up/drop off anywhere needed.

Thanks!!!

Thank you. I have seen his name several places and was just wondering who he was.

No problem Mary. Enjoy your vacation.

 

[msreneau]

friendly little bump. Need more swappers!

OK It is official. I revived this stinkin sinkin stroller swap until June. I am taking MSReneau's advice and asking for $10 until we have enough in reserve for a replacement. For those who jumped on during the **Free Period** I will stick to my word about offering it for free to you. If however you wish to donate $10 or any other amount as a way of saying Thank you for letting you use our stroller I will gladly accept your contribution

MsReneau, do you go regularly to Disney?
