[whalenj]

Whoo-hoo!!

We are right there behind you! Can't wait!

We are getting our first semi-measureable snow right now, and my boys think it is great. I was out with a friend this morning and came home to two 3 1/2 year olds wanting to put on boots and snowpants right now. I managed to get them to eat some lunch and then we went and played in the snow. It is one of those great early snows when it is still pretty warm and the snow is just sort of drifting through the air. I think I will be outside a lot this winter, at least I can look forward to being outside in the warm weather at Disney in January, now I just have to make it until then.
Sorry for the long bump, just had to tell someone about the snow

 

[whalenj]

Snow!

Yep, know what you mean. It's snowing right now and our 3 1/2 year old boys are soooo excited!

Florida in January will be a nice break (from the snow) for you. I'm sure you will have fun!

If you all PM me your paypal email address and let me know who is who, I am going to send you the $8.50 refund due to you so that everyone has paid $20.00 for the stroller.

Now that everyone has paid the same amount, is this the point where we make the swap free?????

THanks

 

[2carsboys]

I don't know if there are any other accessories that someone would suggest and new swappers could pay for those. Otherwise go ahead and make it free for others.

Just got back from our trip and the stroller was awesome!! Even my 3rd one was able to take a break now and then and sit on the foot rest. You can request luggage services to deliver your stroller to the next swapper at a different resort. That saved us a bunch of time instead of having to cart it to the resort ourselves on the buses. A little tip for them goes a long way too.

We noticed a ton of people at all the parks using the Disney stroller rentals and they looked horribly uncomfortable! Two of my little ones were able to nap every day at the park in it. I didn't know how to use the extra shade cover but luckily the weather was really nice during our trip.

The crowds were crazy on our last couple of days there. Barely got on any rides and fast passes ran out by noon!

Glad you had a great trip. We are flying out on Sunday! Can't believe the time has finally come. Thanks for the tip about having luggage services to deliver the stroller to the next swapper. Never thought about that one

Hi all,
We received measurable snow this weekend and the boys had fun again out in it, luckily DH was home today so he got snow duty.
I can't wait to enjoy the warm weather in Florida in January!!!!

 

[whalenj]

Bump!

 

[whalenj]

Bump to the front!

How do you have luggage services deliver the stroller? Do you do it when you are leaving/getting ready to get on the Magical Express (which we would be doing very early in the morning), the last thing you do after the parks close, or during more normal 'business' hours?

I would love to be able to do this, but am unsure when would be the best time to try to make arrangements. Did you give them a 'heads up'?

Thanks! I am glad you guys had good weather and had fun!

We just got back from our trip last night. The stroller was a life saver! Very roomy and easy to push. There is a lot of storage underneath! Very pleased. It was a little hard to get thru magic kingdom gates though! It is now at CBR waiting on the next swapper!

Hope WhalenJ is having a great trip!!!

Let's go get someone to fill in our January dates, any takers out there!!!!

 

[2carsboys]

Hey all you budget board people, does anyone need a double stroller from Jan 3-18 or any combination of those 2 weeks???
Just checking and trying to get this gap filled!!!

I would love to get involved with this. How does it work? I will be in WDW March 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Thanks in advance.

 

[msreneau]

I would also like to join the swap. My dates are March 14-28, 2009. I am currently paid in another swap, but they are saying the seat is broken and smells like urine, so I'd like to get involved with this one.

We are back and had a lot of fun (not much sleep though)!

Our resort delivered the stroller right to our room after we checked in which was great!

One of the seat backs was broken/bent when it was delivered. It was up higher where the material joint is. Hard to describe, but when you see it you understand. We had no problems using it the way it was and even reclined the seats for a nap one day with no problem, but I did want to mention it.

The other seat (the actual seat base) in the stroller looks like it could use a good cleaning, but I didn't bring anything that would be used to do that. We have toddlers (potty trained but wore pull ups in case we couldn't get to the potty fast enough) and don't eat meals in strollers (did snack on some goldfish crackers in the stroller) so I didn't think to bring something, but I really wish I would have.

I have not used a three wheeled stroller before so the whole steering with a single front wheel took some time to get used to. I found it difficult to steer on carpet. The Magic Kingdom gates were just a little too narrow to steer straight to get through but we managed. It was very easy to push and that was GREAT!

We were just POURED on one day, but had two days to hang and dry the rain cover and it was packed back up for the next swapper.

Overall, I do agree this was a LIFE SAVER and looked so much more comfortable than those hard plastic disney strollers. This was a great deal on a great stroller and those looking to join and save $ wouldn't be dissappointed!

Luggage services would not deliver the stroller to the next resort for us. So, be sure to ask before you need to do this just in case you need to make other arrangements!

The stroller was left at the POP on Saturday night for the next swapper and I'm sure they will use it just as much as we did!

Thanks guys!

We would love to be able to to use the stroller instead of lugging our twin stroller with. I was wondering though, does the stroller seem wide to get through crowds and such? Ours is a front/back and that's what I'm used to.
We are staying at Movies April 21-29.
THANKS!!!!!!

 

[whalenj]

Our stroller that we used at home for our twins was also a front/back style. But, I didn't think that the side by side style was super wide to get through the crowds/people. We liked it. It is a little wider, but it was nice that both boys could see (one didn't have to be behind the other) and they could talk to each other.

It was much shorter length wise so the turning radius didn't have to be as large as our front/back style.

There was lots of storage room under it too.

One couple had their diaper bag stolen from their stroller (parked next to ours during lunch). We used a couple of those plastic zip cord tie things to attach our backpack to the stroller (we had a small backpack that we carried with our valuables in it but left a backpack in the stroller with pullups, wipes, change of clothes, water, snacks, sunscreen, etc). It wouldn't stop someone from taking it if they really wanted it, but it would make it a little more difficult. We then cut the cord when we left the parks to fold the stroller up.

That was more info than you needed!

Hope it helps!
