Fall 08 CP Box!

I have a notebook we can use. Its one of those composition notebooks. and ive started looking for some stuff to put into the box. I think right now we have 4 people: Carlos, sam, piglet, and snow princess. (sorry i didnt know your names:confused3)
I'm Lora!!lol.
:cool1:
 
Hey, I am doing the Fall Advantage box, and I just wanted to say that 5 days would probably be too long. It's already taken us about a month/20 days just to get it to person number 4, and that's with us doing it 2 days. (Meaning the day you get it doesn't count and the day you send it off doesn't count. So I got the box on Monday, I am sending it off today--Thurs). You probably don't want to go any longer than that if you want it to reach everyone more than once. :) :) :) (And that's the REAL fun part!)
 
Thanks for the heads up. I know that you guys dont have too much time and we have a whole 2 1/2 months longer, but its good to know how much time it takes to get from person to person.
 
Hey Everyone! The box thing sounds really fun! I'd love to join in! Should I PM my address to you Sam? Let me know! YAY!

I havent gotten anyones addresses, but when we decide to start I think PMing would be the best thing.
 
ok so now we have 6 people! woo hoo! Ok when do you guys want to start sending the box? Do you want to wait for more people to join or do you want to start it now and add people later. It will take a while just to get from person to person too. We should also decide on a cap of the amount of people to include so the list isn't too long. I was thinking that when I get everyones email addresses we can organize them by distance so that the box doesnt have to go across the country and then right back again. Maybe that way it wouldn't take as long to travel.

Ok let me know what you guys think!
 
I think we should start it soon so we can can hopefully each get it twice and we can add people as go...

All those ideas sound great. I'm on board for capping it off or it might get out of hand but I wouldn't know how many people is too little or too many. I do know that last summer my friends and I did a traveling notebook (we got the idea from the traveling pants) and it took us forever and we were in the same state and there were only 7 of us! But if people made sure not to hold onto it for weeks, I think like 10 or so would be good?

I think it makes sense to map out the box's itinterary based on geography too.

Just an idea, but we could wait until like the end of April, just to see how many people join then, and then start the box. I'd guess that we'd have all the people we could manage by the end of the month. But that's just an idea!
 
i think i am going to try to send it out in the next week or so. Its been crazy with the start of a new quarter, work and im trying to pick up a minor so that the CP will count for something.

If you guys send me your addresses then I can gether them and hopefully get the box out sooner.

I also got a list of the rules that the FA people are using from tyler. I will post them here later and include a copy in the box too.
 
I would love to do the box! It sounds great! I am pending on my audtion april 20th, so hopefully I will still be accepted.
 
Hi~
I got accepted for Fall 08! I will be work at quick service food. I am F-1 student :)
 
I had my interview and am just waiting...if I do get in I'd love to join in on the box. Hopefully I will know by the beginning of May!
 
it's a type of VISA. I am international student! But I am excited to go down there!!!!

When will you be arriving?

Actually could eveyone write down when your arriving, or at least send it to me with your addresses? thanks!
 
I have addresses for carlos, Allie, and Lora. I still need addresses for piglet, porterella, akemi, and kandeebunny. Im not sure who has officially accepted or not, so im not sure who i should include on the list so far. We still have the option to add people to the end of the list later and start sending the box nox so it gets going. let me know what you think.

Here is the list of rules as made by tyler for the fall advantage box:

“The Box” WDWCP Fall 2008 RULES:

1. Each person gets up to 2 days with “The Box”, not counting the day on which it is received, before it must be sent on to the person below you on the list. For example, if Alice gets “The Box” on Monday, she must send it off by Thursday to Dopey. The last person to receive “The Box” should send it to the person who started it and the cycle will repeat at least once, allowing people to include and retrieve items. (An ending date will be May 10th and this person is expected to bring the box with him/her to FL.)

2. When you receive the box, please unpack it carefully! Not everything in the box will be for you alone, or even for you at all. You are responsible for the care of these gifts, just as the others are responsible for the care of your gifts. Make sure these and any gifts you contribute make it into “The Box” before it is sent off.

3. In the journal, please take 1-2 pages to share a bit about yourself, where you’re from, and your favorites. It would also be nice to include a photo or two so we can put a face with a name and maybe even a name with a location!

4. Please include a postcard, note card, etc. to say hello and briefly describe what you’ve contributed to “The Box” and what people are allowed to take if it isn’t obvious. If you have a specific gift for each person involved, please tag them so that there is no confusion. These cards should all be kept together and placed with the rules sheet and address list to be read first.

5. CDs, DVDs , books etc. may be watched, read, listened to, or even copied (if possible), but they remain the property of whoever contributed them. Make sure these and all other shared items make it into “The Box” before it is sent off.

6. While some candies are okay, please refrain from including perishable/melt-able foods like chocolate. It’s a sweet gift, but not when it’s melted to someone’s new pair of socks or a shared book! ;-)

7. Gifts can be related to a unique hobby you enjoy, where you live, etc., but most of the things included should be related to Disney or something to help you during the WDWCP.

8. The best way to package “The Box” is to obtain a ‘Flat-Rate’ box from your local post office. The boxes themselves cost nothing and are, I believe, $8.95 to mail on to the next person, regardless of weight! “The Box” will get heavy, so this will save you money and makes it fair for everyone.

9. This is NOT a contest to see who can spend the most money! Include what you can, but don’t break the bank! You’ll want your money in FL! If you’re artistic, you can make a special gift for your new friends. Great Disney things/useful gifts can often be found at your local dollar store, Target Dollar Zone, and even Walmart! Plus, you may have a great book, Movie/Park Soundtrack, or recorded TV special (*hint* The TRAVEL Ch. airs these all the time and has 4 brand new specials to be aired in the coming months) that can be shared with everyone!


They are also putting a flat mickey (flat stanley) in their box. If you guys want to do that also it sounds like a lot of fun. Let me know so I can make one up.
 
So... i just spent the last fex hours working on stuff for the box. I have everything ready to be shipped out to the first person...almost. I still have to write about myself, then just get the box and mail it. I did make a flat mickey. Due to my lack of drawing talent I printed a picture offline and cut it out. He's darn cute though! So when someone gets the box they can take a picture with flat mickey somewhere...campus etc. and include that in the journal with the rest of the stuff. Im pretty excited about this! Now I just need those last peoples addresses. Dont worry, we can add people later if your not sure if your accepted yet.
 
I'm still waiting on the letter...so I'd have to be added later maybe.

Though in your rules the person who gets the box May 10th keeps it and brings it...thats a bit...off since most of us wouldn't be leaving until August!
