INFORMATION ONLY
Disney Hollywood Studios Swap


SIGN-UPS on Friday 12/5, @ 6:30am EST

Mail Date: January 23
Due Date: January 30
Requirements: 2 elements from the list below

Groups A,B,C,D, & E each include a ride, show, attraction, other entertainment and a general DHS spot. Groups F & G are for photo ops located throughout DHS. Group J is for areas of the park. Characters will be covered in the character swap that will be hosted by DisneyIsTerrific in February.

As some of you know, SusieStone’s box last year was lost by the USPS. After months of correspondence, the box was returned! The swap is very similar to last year’s in order to make use of Susie’s items.

1. Choose your group. I will open additional groups if the initial one fills. (If group A fills, I will open group A1 with the same choices). If you have a request for a spot in a group that hasn’t opened yet, please list it. I will fill the groups in the order you post. Please limit yourself to 2 groups if youhaven't swapped with me before.
2. PM me with your DIS name, name, home address, email, and phone number -- these will only be used to follow up if I have not heard from you.
3. Post your status on the progress thread every 2 weeks. Check in dates will be listed.
4. Packing/Mailing Instructions: use a Ziploc for each person and put everything for that person into their bag. Please label on the outside of each bag. Include your name, DISname and group number. You‘ll have 5 or 6 bags to enclose in the larger (gallon size) Ziploc bag for each group you are in. Include your return postage, please. If you want delivery confirmation, don't forget to send in the extra money for that as well as a completed d/c slip. Please write your DISname on the outside of your package. Please include an address label for your return package if you have one.
5. Do not send click-it/ship-it postage.
6. PM me if you have problems and need to drop out or if an emergency happens (we all know things happen beyond our control sometimes), let me know so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help if needed.

Element List -- choose 2

Please, no hand lettering on any items. Computer fonts, rub-ons, die cut letters, stamps are acceptable. All items should be embellished two ways and double matted unless otherwise noted. Embellished means using brads, buttons, eyelets, charms, ribbon, fiber, ink, 3D stickers, matted stickers, clip art etc.

Topper: maximum 8 x 2, at least 2 layers, embellished
Title Letters: at least 1 ¼ inches, must have a shadow or mat. If you choose this option, place your letters in their own bag and let us know what it spells.
2 Photo mats: at least 2 layers, embellished, sized to fit a 4x6 photo (smallest layer 4 ¼ x 6 ¼)
2 Journal boxes: minimum3x3 writing space, sitting on top of 2 layers, embellished

You can mix & match the elements: 1 journal box and 1 tag = 1 element, 1 photo mat & 2 squares = 1 element etc.

If you have another idea, near clarification or if I have written something that just doesn't make any sense, please post or pm to let me know!

Anybody want me to take out a general DHS spot from group A-E and add in American Idol or Sounds Dangerous? I think I have everything else covered.
 
Oh, you're seriously going to make me get up early for these signups? I'm not sure I like you anymore. ;)


:rotfl: I'm not sure I like me anymore too. I don't usually wake up that early and I am cranky in the AM even when I don't wake up early.

I'm good with leaving the General ones in because 1) I don't have pictures of Sounds Dangerous, and 2) I don't know what I could have with AI yet. But I do have one request: can one of the general spots be switched to the Stars and Motor Cars Parade? I have lots of pics from it last year, but nothing to scrap it.

I look forward to this swap. I will have completed all the park swaps once I am done with this one!

Thanks for getting this out now so I can make my plans.

I like that idea. I still have a bunch of Stars and Cars too. I'll look it over and add it to a group.
 
I'm excited about this one!! That's about what time I leave in the mornings, so I'll be sure to jump on here before I head out the door! ;)

Question: What about a Cars photo op? (Can you tell DH bought me the Cars cart and I'm itching to use it?) Do they still do photos there? We saw them there in Sept. 07, but I don't know if we saw them in March 08.

I didn't actually stop there, but I'm 99% sure they still had that when I was there in October. They have a whole "Luigi's Garage" themed area for it now.
 
I saw Cars in August here:

Duuuuude I have oral surgery that day!!!! you ladies are witness if my posts don't make sence it's the pain meds talking....
 
Can't wait, can't wait to sign up for this one too! Thanks for putting out early so I can plan. I'm working that day, so I'll be up by 5:30 central! Now, as long as my stupid Mac lets me on the internet (lately, it's been a booger in the a.m.)
 
Yay, this sounds like so much fun. I am getting my season pass this year with my son so we will be visiting there again soon. I just might have to try & get a lot of groups. Thanks for hosting this swap!:woohoo:

Ok, it would help if I read more! Stupid migraine!! I just saw that characters are in the Character Swap (duh for me!!), so my Cars question would be answered there! :thumbsup2

How about Grp G --drop Great Movie Ride prints and add in Cars Photo Op? I didn't include all of the characters because DisneyIsTerrific is hosting a character swap in February.

I think we posted at the same time. I'm all for keeping people happy -- any other opinions? Does anyone need the great movie ride photo op spot or would Cars be more useful?

Whichever way works for everyone else works for me! :thumbsup2
 
I'll take a Cars Photo op. :) (in place of the Great Movie Ride busts). - to not be confused with DIT's character swap, maybe the person who selects this one can make generic Cars photo things instead of specific paper piecings. :confused3 I haven't seen the cart yet, so don't know what's on it. (Although I am getting it for X-mas!) :cool1:
 
I would just love a general spot because I took very few pictures there this trip. Mostly TSM and Brown Derby and Back Lot.
Group 1 (I think) would be perfect. Now who do I need to bribe?:goodvibes
 
I'll be in on this swap! I don't have a lot of pictures from this park, but the ones I have are still waiting to be scrapped.

As for adding the Cars photo op. It's fine with me and won't affect the Character Swap in February. I'm still going to have Cars and Toy Story characters in that swap as well.

Thanks for hostessing this swap Susan!
 
I am a glutton for punishment! Just got back a few weeks ago, trying to start the book for this trip and I'm itching for swaps anyway! Bought myself stretch your imagination and paper dolls on thanksgiving at michael's!!!
