Magic Kingdom Swap: Req listed in post one

[123SA]

In general, I am okay with a topper + element, but for the "general" spots in each group, would people prefer a blank topper, or something other than a topper?

I am looking at the "general" to get some filler items, and I'm not sure a topper would work for me. I have done other land groups in the past so I have a lot of thinks like "Frontierland" or "Liberty Square" (not to mention a topper would duplicate the Land group). I suppose it could say something else, but I'm not sure how universal it would be.

Rats! Just when I thought I had it all figured out! Hope, you make a very good point. Hmmm..what to do, what to do, back to the drawing board.

just to make sure I understand, each individual attraction and each land will have a topper?

I'll have to get back to you. I didn't think this through all the way.

A tag and a second element might work better than a topper.

You could still have it be a topper + 1 element, just tell everyone that these are "more like guidelines than actual rules" to quote a certain pirate, and if you are doing a topic that does not lend itself to having a topper (or have a really great non-topper idea) that you can make something else.

PS. You are doing just fine on the hosting front.

Personally, I am not really a tag person and I have a problem making them....that is one requirement that would knock me out. But you girls make some beautifu tags....maybe the lands groups could be no toppers.

But you can not please everyone....this is your swap that your are hostessing....don't stress over it, just have fun.

I really like the way you have this set up Susan. I may have to join.

Great! I used a lot of your swap pieces from the AK swap, I'd love to have you join this too!

Just a couple thoughts about the topper + element idea.
Some of the names of the rides are long For instance, Cinderella's Golden Carrousel

The pieces are more versatile without a topper. I like the idea of two elements with Topper as an option, but not a requirement.

I think Toppers are a good idea for the lands sections though.

Personally, I would most likely be making a tag and a photomat. (But I don't think tags should be required.)

How about a group with the following

Cinderella's castle
Walt with Mickey Statue
Wishing Well
Storytime with Belle

 

[123SA]

Okay -- i have listed the requirements in the first post.

Basically, one element for all the groups except for the lands group

Lands group will be topper and one element.

PLEASE: If it is not clear, if I have left out an element, if it doesn't make any sense, let me know. I want to iron out all of the problems now, before I post the signups.

I will post at sign ups the usual information regarding each element (i.e. photomats should fit a 4x6 photo without being cropper, double matted embellished etc.)

Last: I will post a separate sign up for the Lands and the BBBoutique -- these have different directions. Hopefully it will avert some confusion.


And many thanks to all of you for you input!

I do have the castle in the Main St group, Belle in tomorrowland -- I am willing to readjust. Any thought for filling out your proposed group and filling the spots taking these out of the posted groups would leave?

[Princess Jayne]

I like this idea.

What do you think of these changes:

take the castle out of the Main St group and replace it with: Family Fun Day Parade, or Main St Shopping?

Take Storytime with Belle out of Tomorrowland and replace with: Tomorrowland Arcade (i have never seen this place -- just read about it on allearsnet -- anyone been there?)

New Group
Castle Group
1. Castle
2. Wishing well (is this Cinderella fountain behind the Castle?)
3. Storytime with Belle
4. Walt & Mickey statue
5. TinkerBelle's Treasures or Tinkerbelle's flight (Wishes)
6. Year of a Million Dreams???? Another general Magic Kingdom spot??

 

[hopemax]

For Tomorrowland, what about Sonny Eclipse?

 

[SusieStone]

Oh BOY....I want one in each.

The wishing well is on the walkway from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland It looks like a wishing well.

I think the Tomorrowland arcade is where you "dump out" after riding Space Mountain

Instead of a Year of a million dreams How about the Dream Along with Mickey show they do in front of the castle?
I would add either Main street shopping or the barber shop to the Main Street group If you take the castle out.

Great !!!

Sonny Eclipse is a great idea! We have pictures of him, and the Pleakly Statue in Tomorrowland, there is also the talking Garbage Can that rolls around Tomorrowland.

Wow -- i have no idea what this wishing well is! It is definitely on my list to find next time.

How about I scratch the YOAMD, add Cindy's Fountain -- the dream along show is already in with the shows group

so

1. castle
2. cindy's fountain
3. wishing well
4. walt & M statue
5. Storytime with Belle
6. Tink's Treasures

Does this look good?
