I'm new to the board. What is a fridge swap?
First off...
to the DISboards!
Here's a quick rundown on Fridge Swaps, copied from another swap:
FAQ
What size is the fridge? How much will it hold?
Here's a link to the refrigerator for those who want to know all about it.
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4990674 It is about the same size as the one POP rents for $10/day.
Here's a picture 20.5L x 18.75W x 19.5H Down-sized for space-challenged dorm rooms, businesses and apartments, this compact refrigerator keeps your favorite beverages and snacks close at hand. Providing both can and 2-liter bottle storage, it also has a freezer compartment.
What happens after you tell me my dates are available?
I'll send you a PM, or post on this thread, if your dates are available and at that time I will pencil you in. Then I'll need you to send me (by PM is great) your full name, ressie #, check-in date, and a contact phone number (while you're at WDW if you'll have a phone, otherwise your home number) I need your number in case I need to contact you if there are any problems with the swap. I will then change you to confirmed. If you could put your dates in the title of your PMs it would make it easier for me. Thanks.
Then what?
Then you will need to contact the swappers, before and after, you to exchange information and arrange the swap. Hopefully, if your dates overlap, you can arrange a personal handoff and keep the fridge out of storage.
Depending on how far off your trip is, and if there is a gap before, or after, you you may want to hold off for awhile setting everything up. Things have a habit of changing and even those who are confirmed have changes in plans.
If I need to pick it up from POP storage, what do I do?
Oh, good question! After you check in at POP you will want to go to POP luggage services which is located outside the main entrance (under the big cover) just to the right. This is the same place where you can borrow a luggage cart and also where you do your airline check-in (if you're flying home). Give the CM your information (name, ressie #, check-in date) and they will locate the fridge for you. Don't worry if they don't immeadiately find it, as it has been reported that at first they don't find it and then it "magically" appears minutes later. Also, some swappers have waited until they've reached their room and then called luggage services and had them deliver it (for a small tip $ ).
