Well I gifted my buddy a long time ago... and I know as well as you Groovydolly... I did not recieve a gift either... I think people just put it aside and forgot about it... I would not join something if you aren't going to follow through on it.
I am confused about what is going on. I thought there was going to be a final revealing party. We have not had an update in a long while. Fan, I PMed you but received no response. ....now what?
Captured--there wasn't going to be a final reveal party with this round. The initial party was to hopefully get your buddy on your friends list/mule's friends list, and Fan said to PM her, including the details she PM you with who your buddy is for her records, if you didn't get gifted within a couple weeks. It's really very hard to plan a time most can be there and commit an hour to sitting in a guest room when kids are back to school, credits need to be earned for upcoming new purchases, sports are in full swing, etc etc.
I have finalized with my buddy and revealed. It was quite fun indeed. I never did receive anything from whomever was assigned to me the first round OR the second round. Maybe DIS is too big to expect general trust from anyone who signs up on something like this. And it's not WDWFan/DivaStar's fault people don't follow through. What goes around comes around.
I'll let her know to check out this thread and she can send reminders or post the names of the buddies who still need to connect. Sometimes it's just hard to find people if you don't spend alot of time in guest rooms.
