Well, I am not at POP anytime soon, but just wanted to say hi to jltoll! I met you guys three weeks ago! I was that DISer who sat next to you on the very packed bus, going from Pop Century to Magic Kingdom for the Princess and Pirates party! Was your DD surprised when she got there for the party? (they were trying to keep it a secret from her!) Those lime green Mickey Heads were easy to spot! Hope you had a great trip overall!

When I was at POP, I gave in and rented a fridge - ugh!! I paid $70 dollars to keep $6 of milk cold! Next time I got to get in on a swap!

Hi everyone,

I am in and need to know what to do when I get to Pop. The person before me will have to leave it at Pop as I will not be arriving until Tuesday. So, do I just ask for the "package" they are storing for me and give them my name? Do I do this when checking in, or do I wait until I get to the room and call bell services? I am just concerned about how I will get it back to the room if I have to pick it up at checkin. Sorry for so many questions.

Hey girl! It was great to meet a fellow DISer, thanks for noticing the lime green mickey! P&P can be summed up in 3 words...FAB U LOUS!!!! DD had a total breakdown when she was presented with her tickets for the party. We found a YOAMD Dream Maker gal we'd talked to a day before. Secretly, we asked her to 'make our dream come true' by giving DD the tickets. She agreed and presented the already-purchased tickets as a dream and DD's eyes got as big as tea cup saucers when she found out she was going!!

BTW, you were the only DISer to recognize the LGMH and we had it on our backpack every day. Wish we'd seen more of you folks, but were glad to meet HugsForEeyore. Hope you had a great trip too! And got lots of rare autographs, there were sure a lot of seldom seen characters that night!

If I read the list correctly no one is signed up after us until April 19. Is this going to be a problem? I will pakage it up and leave it with the next person's name

There is currently no one for April 4-18, but I do have a person who's wanting it at another resort. I'll know for sure in about a week or two whether they will be taking it.

As for what you do, seal up the box, use a pre-printed sheet to fill out who gets the fridge next (along with phone #, etc.) and take it to luggage service.

You go to luggage service, give them your name and ask for the package being left for you. The box is white with pink flowers if that helps. They have carts to take it to your room (and for returning, if necessary). OR, you can call bell service if you want to tip them.

We are not going to WDW until later in 2008 but I wanted to know how far out are you going with your swap reservations? I would love to join in on it. Please let me know.

 

[Castlepixie]

I will be at POP April 21-24. I would love to participate in the fridge swap! I just found this thread. If it is available, Please let me know. I will pass to the next diser

Sorry, I now see that on page 1 my dates are taken. If there is a cancellation, I am still interested.

We've got the rest of this year reserved with afew in January of '08. I truly would be surprised to see either fridge make it or Pop allow it much past that. However, if it gets closer and it looks like it will go on, we'd love to add you!

Ditto, on the "how long can it last"? Our swap started Sept. 06 (with me) and it's still going strong. We've accomodated over 26 swappers to date. We are on our second fridge, though, as POP misplaced original one (with toaster). We too are booked for the rest of the year (to 12-29), including myself again in September. We very few openings left (with exception of 2 weeks in July). I'm not going to be booking anymore past this year, since I don't expect it to last (the box is getting very ragged now). I would be surprised if ours actually last until I get to use it again. If it doesn't the swappers around my date have already said they will participate in a new swap, but it'll no longer be free. I hope that if the swap does have to start again, someone else will take over the handling of the swap. Then, if they want it to continue into 2008, they're welcome to arrange it.

I've had fun doing it and some of our later swappers have been very nice in return. One sent my DD7 a Michigan State t-shirt along with a very nice note and another sent her a beautiful FGM letter about our upcoming visit (and last visit) which made all the time I've put in worth it! (Well almost )

Good swapping everyone. Jen you're doing a great job!

HI all!

Sorry I did not post sooner, we have been recovering from our hectic trip!! LOL! Just wanted to say thanks to Jennifer for doing this!

After we checked in I went to Luggage services and asked for the box, they brought it right out and I took it to the room on one of their carts. It was really nice to be able to store milk and snacks for my daughter! When our short trip was over we cleaned it up and resealed it for the next swapper, and had no problems returning it. It all worked out very smoothly!

I have a quick question. I have the fridge in November. Provided it lasts that long...how much food can I store in this. What did you guys use it for. I was hoping to store yogurt, milk, cheese, butter, sandwhich meat, mayo. Is there enough room for all this??? Thanks

Hello guys,we are soooo excited we leave in 3 days & I have printed out a paper with the next guest below me for the fridge swap.This is going to be such a blessing to have,as we take drinks into the parks with us so we will be able to keep it cold.I also ordered some apples from Gardengrocer so this is great.
Thanks again & I will report as soon as i get home.

I'd really like to keep it at Pop unless it's filling a gap of more than 14 days. Where are you guys staying?
