Just to add some info!!
Maclaren Triumph Single Stroller Swap
Why are we doing a stroller swap?
Well, simply put, its easier to pay a little bit into a stroller and have it conveniently stored at your resort rather than paying full price and lugging it through the airport! Disney charges $15 per day to rent a single stroller and you must also return it before leaving the park. They also require a $100 deposit (refundable) when renting one. Most of us are staying for at least a week, so this offers a huge savings as opposed to paying so much to rent which could pay for a brand new stroller.
Why Pop Century?
It seems to be easier to do a swap face to face to ward off losing the stroller and others losing out. After the first few swaps (mainly people who chipped in to pay for it) swapping out to other resort guests can be possible. (and don't worry, if need be we can open it up to everyone, not just pop-goers, for the first few swaps. Depending on how many people we get and where they are staying!)
How much will it cost (and which stroller)?
Here is the stroller:
It is a Maclaren Triumph single stroller. Mainly chosen due to the fact that it reclines.

(and if anyone is interested in a new fridge swap let me know!)
Please make sure to contact the family before you and after you in order to transport the stroller in a timely fashion. You will be responsible for this, as well as making sure you get confirmation numbers, phone numbers, and dates. It is up to you to establish a meet time to hand off the stroller. If there is a gap between families, then the family departing will be responsible for leaving the stroller with luggage services with a piece of paper attached including: the incoming family's name, confirmation/reservation number, and their check-in date. GET A CLAIM TICKET. If the incoming family is staying at a different resort than you, you are responsible for transporting the stroller to the new resort and leaving it with luggage services.
If you are interested in signing up, please PM me your real name and DIS name and we will arrange a paypal transfer. There is no profit made off of this swap, all money is directly going to reimbursing the cost of the stroller. If I deem necessary (and receive enough stroller-seekers) we will also set up a replacement fund in the event that the stroller goes missing. I will also be purchasing a Maclaren Universal Organizer as seen below:
{{Color of stroller is not necessarily the color that will be purchased, whichever purchased will be gender neutral though!}}

REMEMBER!!
1. PM me with all of your information (including arrival dates, departure dates, resort, and full name).
2. Make sure to set up a meet up time with the incoming family, or if there will be a gap make sure to leave the stroller (with information attached) with luggage services.
3. Be sure to know who will have the stroller directly before you and directly after you. Also remember to keep their names, check in dates, and reservation numbers in a safe place so you don't lose the information. I also strongly recommend exchanging phone numbers.
4. Be kind and wipe down the stroller after use. We all have kids, so we all know how messy they can be- but have consideration for the next family and clean it off. Please be kind to the strollers.
5. Please give me advance notice if you have to back out of the swap! If the stroller is left with luggage services for too long, they will dispose of it as they see fit. I request at least 3-4 weeks notice please.
