Magic Kingdom Swap Info Thread

Any more questions before sign up day?

One other thing I should note -- the title, for both the pages and the elements, does not have to be the exact name of the ride, just something appropriate. For example, for the pages I am doing the Tommorrowland Speedway. I plan to use the "Start Your Engines" cut from the Cars Cricut cartridge as my title. For the Judge's Tent, I may go with "Mickey & Me" as the title.

Yeah! Thats a great plan. That was gonna be my next question. I am not always one for traditional titles. So like for Peter Pans Flight the title could be "All it takes is faith, trust and pixie dust", or "you can fly, you can fly"?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I've looked at the photos of the past swaps, and really enjoyed seeing the different styles of scrapping! Also, if I have questions, I'll ask away... thanks!

Lookie Kristi your up to 11!

That's right. Good ideas!

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Thanks! I am full of them today.

I sent you a ginormous PM hope it went through.

That's right. Good ideas!

Keep the ideas coming I plan on scraplifting if I don't get in certain groups.

I'm still not sure if I will be joining you all in this one. I have a resolution for 2009 to limit the number of swaps I do, so I can actually find time to scrap. But the last MK swap, I had a few missing spots, so I'm still thinking about this one.

But if I do join, I know my sign-ups won't be in the AM. (I plan on sleeping in tomorrow - maybe hit a 40% off sale too at my LSS). So my question is, if I do my first sign up at noon, can I post my 6 choices - because I missed the first sign-up? Or is it only 3 choices at a time regardless of the time? Thanks! Oh, and sorry if this question has been asked already, I didn't reread the thread and just thought about the question now.

one quick question, and I'm sure this is written somewhere, it's just that I think I'm coming down with a cold and my brain is not working!!

signups are at 8 am (or the 1st round). Say I want group N, and I post that. If it's full already, will you be opening an N1 and I could go in that, or do I need to repost? Does that make sense?

Ok, DS is trying to type on the keyboard now. Too much DIS-ing for Mommy!!

Nope no one asked this question. I was wondering if anyone would because I haven't quite worked out an answer! The purpose of the staggered sign ups is to spread everyout amongst the groups. How about at noon you post your top 3 choices. Remind me that this is your first set of choices. If the groups are pretty spread out already, then I have no problem with you requesting 3 more and catching up.

Does this make sense?

Ahhh -- I remember those days of the little one banging on the keyboard from my lap!

No, I don't think I addressed this either.

Yes, when group N fills, I will open another group N. But I think your question is this:

You request Grp N Castle. THat spot is filled, but the rest of the group is not. WHat happens?

First, let me say that other than ordering my project 365 kit at 11am, I have nothing on my schedule tomorrow besides this. I will attempt to make everyone happy. If it is not crazy, I'll just ask you what you want. As you know, sometimes there are just too many posts to do that. So it depends on how you request. If you really want the castle and nothing else will do -- be specific. "I'd like the castle in Grp N and I'll wait for a new group to open if necessary" In the past I have been able to keep a list nearby with requests for groups not opened yet and it worked. I'll try it and if it is not working out, I'll just say so and stop. The risk you take of course is that another group never opens and then you don't have a spot in that group at all.

When you post your requests, you can give me extra choices. I'll fill your requests in order. SO if you write

Grp N Castle or any spot
Grp H Big Thunder
Grp F TTA
Grp E Buzz
Grp O Liberty Square

Here is what you will get. Castle or something in grp N. Big Thunder was filled, so I'll move on to the next on your list -- TTA and then Buzz. That is 3 groups. I'll stop there. I will not hold onto your list for 12 noon.

Please post the group number(pages) or letter(elements) with your requests. It will make things easier for me. THanks.


How'd I do with that question?

 

[danilynn19]

Um um, yea I'm hanging with the neighbors tonight so I don't know if I wil be able to make 8 am, the things I want I THINK don't start till noon, so does that mean if I am in the third or fourth group there I don't need to post and will still have a chance or is it a first come first serve kind of thing for all?
For example
Sign Ups Open for ELEMENTS:
8:00 AM EST for your first 3 groups,
Group A: Fantasyland
Group B: Fantasyland
Group C: Mickey’s Toontown Fair

Then
12:00 AM for your next 3 groups,
Groups DEF??
and so on?
4pm for your next 3 groups.
8pm I'll start closing it out if possible.

No! At 8am -- 11:59am, you can sign up for any 3 groups -- A through P. You are limited to 3 groups. At noon - 3:59pm, if you want more than 3 groups (or you haven't signed up for any groups yet) you can pick 3 more spots. At 4 pm an additional 3 groups.

Yes it is 1st come 1st served and I will open a new group if one fills. So if group A fills, I will open group A1 with the same choices.

I updated the OP with check in,angel, packaging and mailing information. The due date is March 5th.

How'd I do with that question?

I have NO idea how you understood what I meant, because when I re-read my post, I didn't understand me!! I completely understand!! Thanks a bunch! The MK Swap and Project 365 are all that are on my list for tomorrow, too!

 

[danilynn19]

I so stupid.. I can only PICK 3 and then I can not pick ANY OTHER 3 until after noon.....got it!! Lights are on, but no ones home.

Yes, that's right now.

To be fair, this is an odd sign up process. I just thought I'd try to spread us all out.

Hi Kristi

Glad to see I'm not the only new one....but I am the most clueless one

Nope! You cannot win that award. I'm in my first swap (school swap) and have not done anything yet. And don't fully understand. And yet tomorrow I will sign up again for these swaps. And hope desperately that I will understand what I am doing and do work that is worthy. Believe me, that is asking a lot!

So get in line for the most clueless.

Any help you need, go ahead and send me a PM. I can show you examples, talk you through the procedures, hold your hand. I'm a good helper.

Esterhead, let me tell you, AWM is THE Best buddy! When she says she will hold her hand, she means it! She has helped me thru sooooo much!
She still holds my hand, I havnt been doing this more than 6 months myself.
AWM, you are wonderful! And I will vouch for that!
