if Baloo Girl isn't going to take the stroller starting on the 6th, we'll take it for our whole trip through Dec 9th. But that's only if she's backed out.

TIA! :goodvibes

Also if someone wants to CL the stroller with p/u on Dec 9th, I can do drop off as we will have a car. Or I can hold the stroller and take back home and CL there and split the funds back among the participants.

Just LMK.
 
Do we know how long the resorts will hold things for guests? I know that someone was going to check into it, but I don't remember seeing an answer. If needed, I don't mind calling WL to see how long they'll keep things.

That first big gap is right before me, so if it comes down to it I may see if I can bribe a friend that lives nearby to come claim it for me during the "downtime". But, it sure would be nice if someone else could make use of it during that week! ;)



It would be great if we could get a swapper, but if not, it would be wonderful to know we have a place for it to stay safe.
I will send you a PM as we get closer so we can work something out since it goes from me to you.

As soon I I hear back on things, I will let you know.

I have temporarily updated the dates without Baloo's girl. That means you have it till the 9th.
We have decided we are going to go back 12/13-12/18(hopefully that sticks), so as of right now I am hoping to use it then as well.
If I get a notice from Baloo's girl I will update again, but as of right now I opened those dates back up.


Most important dates to fill right now, our biggest gap 9/30-10/10!!
Do you guys know anyone going 1st week of October??
 

I've been away from the computer for a couple of days-sick kiddos. :( Is it possible to still get my dates? 12/6-12/13? I wouldn't need it until the evening of the 6th really. Let me know. I can paypal tonight. If those dates are not avail, then I guess I'm out.

Oh, and we'll be checking out on the 13th, so I don't really need it for that day. I could swap it out the night of the 12th if need be. We're driving (staying at AKL).

You got it! No problem.
I will update 1st post and dates right now.
You can coordinate with Delmar to pick up from her and I will pick it back up on the 13th.
I will send you a PM so we can coordinate the 13th!!
We are happy to have you in the swap.
Jill
 
A HUGE thank you to Jill for organizing this and spending so much time on it. I'm hopeful we can fill that last big gap! Thanks for all your hard work!

WOW!!
I am so happy this has come together!
I have been worried we wouldn't get it to work out, we had so many gaps.
But, they have *for the most part* been filled.
If any of you notice ANYONE posting about going that 1st week of October, please send them here, we have a 10 day gap 9/29-10/10.
Julie *may* be able to get a safe haven for the stroller that week if we do not find a swapper, but let's keep our eyes open.

You guys have done such a great job keeping this thread visible and helping answer questions from others--THANK YOU!!!
Doxxie, thank you for going out of your way to help with accessories and keep my brain from frying:goodvibes .

I am going to send Doxxie money to cover the accessories, she paid $50 between items and shipping. We got a great deal on the stroller, it was $160 plus shipping expenses $32. So far we have $242 into the stroller.
I am hoping we get a few more people in some spots, it can now go beyond Dec18th, but I am still closing the gift card chance 12/13 regardless!!

There is a *chance* I may have to collect a few more dollars from everyone. It may be around $22 per person when all is said and done. I will post when I have final info.

Please be sure to contact the person before and after you in the swap to coordinate handoff. Someone had suggested swapping cell phone #s, this is a great idea, too!

Did I mention I am SOOOOOO excited???? I cannot wait to hear how the stroller works.
 
Thanks for your answer regarding Jan 2009, I knew it was a long shot when I saw your current last dates in December. I am still looking at another swap and waiting to hear back from them so all is not lost. I am spending way too much time getting ready for this trip and I still have 5 months to wait.
 
I also have a friend that's close to Orlando and if I need to I could try to get her involved. I'm just not sure how we'd coordinate pickups. We could get a local courier to take it to one of our friend's houses and then bring it back. I can check into some places to get an idea of pricing if we need to do that. But we still have some time to get a swapper in there!

I had another idea - Mcraw, can you put the owner manual with the stroller? It should fit nicely into the bag that came with the rain cover and that will be a good way to keep track of it. That way if anything goes wrong and we need to see the manual we'll have it.
 
putting the owners manual with it makes great sense. Then we all know how to change things with the stroller.

The stroller got to Mcraw yesterday. She said when they got things out, the child tray is not really a tray with any type of cup holders. It is just a bar. And the parent tray is a mesh type material, not plastic.
I doubt this changes anyones mind from joining, but I wanted you all to know.
 
The stroller is up and running. There are a few things that are different than what I expected but not a big deal. First the parent tray is not plastic like the picture. It is mesh and is attached to the canopy. It has 2 spaces for cups and 1 large open space in the middle. It looks like it will hold alot. However, the manual says it has a weight limit of 2lbs. Also there is not a child tray for the double stroller. It does have the padded bar that goes across the front of the stroller. It snaps on and off as I have older children and will not be using. I will make sure it stays with the stroller though. Another thing that was kinda surprising for me was that there is not alot of room height wise for my 5 yr old. It does roll very easy even with both kids in it. It also seems to be a little taller than my other strollers which is good so my husband wont complain about his back . I am so excited to go to Disney as this is our 1st trip. I will post when I get back and let you know how everything went.
 
I would be interested in a stroller swap for March 17-28, 2009. I'm actually looking for 2 double strollers if you have 2. Thank you.

I appreciate the interest in our swap. Right now we only have swappers till 12/18. Unless we filled in that gap, I don't think it is possible to have it held somewhere for 3 months.
I hope you find a swap, or maybe start one since you need so many strollers, you could put new ones into circulation around that time. Good luck!!!

Thanks for this info. I'm curious ... how tall is your 5 yr old? We tried out a similar stroller in the store a couple of weeks ago and my dd (7) fit in it ok so I was hoping this one would be about the same size. She probably won't be riding very often, but I wanted the extra seat for those late nights. (just want to know what to look forward too).

And SO good to hear that it's taller. My DH is also tall, so maybe he'll actually be able to help with the pushing.

This will be our first trip also. I hope that you guys have a wonderful time!! Post some pics if you can. :banana:

If we really need it we could get this attachment. But I think we can make do without. If we are carrying around a drink it will likely either be a bottle that we can close and put on the bottom of the stroller or we will drink it and throw the cup away.

But this is $21 and we could ship straight to the resort. Again, I don't think we (personally) need it, I think I can deal.

I'm not sure how the mesh attaches to the canopy and how far it comes out, but I am worried about the sunshade covering the mesh holder. So just know that that could be a possibility. Of course, the sunshade is like a stretchy fabric so you might still be able to squeeze something in. And actually, the sunshade has two pockets on the side where you can put a bottle upright. I'm not sure what it's rated but if need be we might could fit a cup in there. I would be a little afraid of the cup getting squeeze and leaking or busting over the stroller, but we won't know until we see it all attached and working!

Jill - did you ever talk to her? If you're going to keep the swap going then she may be able to join for January.

We would have to fill all the dates in from December to then for it to work. I would rather not work in reverse, booking end of January and hoping to fill in the middle. I would rather book from 12/18 on.
