POP's latest&greatest Frig Swap (still have openings)

[shannon1219]

The Toaster is in a box that says box 2 of 2 Terri B on the top and side. I also put a roll of heavy duty Strapping tape and a permanent marker along with plenty of small sheets of paper to put the next person's info on. If the box were to become misplaced for any reason it is in a onlinelabels.com box and I am about to tape a bunch of lime green Mickey heads to it now. Also Terri if you will Pm me your number I will also put your contact info on there so that you can be called if it needs to be reclaimed.

Thanks Shannon, I just you a PM replying to your PMs, so I'll send you another one with my phone #. Thanks, again for adding this, I'm looking forward to using it in Sept. Is there anyway you could take a picture of the box and email it to me? Then, we'll have a record of it just in case. I'm still trying to get a picture of the fridge box too, but haven't been successful yet. Thanks, again, Terri

Rob, I just sent you, and wdwfamilyinIL, PMs. Rob, I sent you her phone number (and mine) and also asked her to contact you ASAP. I hope this helps, this is the reason why in person hand-offs are so important. I know you weren't able to arrange this with wdw..., (I tried very hard to get that done too). I'm crossing my fingers that the fridge will turn up, and either resiii, or I will post info here as received. Thanks, everyone. (Let's all cross our fingers)

FYI-for those of you that don't have my personal contact info, I can send it to you by PM, if you ask for it. Thanks. Once you get there, my phone number is on the box, however, this won't help if the fridge is MIA.

 

[Dizneydaz]

Everyone, I'm still waiting to hear from resiii as to whether the fridge has been found, or not. I did find out that the swapper before resiii was unable to pickup the fridge (due to an emergency). This greatly concerns me as this is the 2nd time in a month that the fridge has been unclaimed and as a result, has gone missing. I realize that an unforseen emergency can't be helped, so I'm not pointing any fingers here, but if your situation changes (unable, or unwilling to pick up fridge) while you are there, you really need to contact me and let me know ASAP so that I can let all parties concerned know what is happening. If you wait til you get back, or I hear it from the next swapper, it really compromises the fridge swap. When the pick up date has passed, it looks like POP relocates the fridge to unclaimed. This looks like it can happen in as little as 2 days, or so.

If you can't reach me by computer (and it's not the best way anyway) you can reach me by phone, or fax. Anyone who needs my phone and/or fax number needs to send me a PM. I can be reached by phone, from 11 a.m. to midnight, EST. The fax is available 24/7. (Please, no phone calls before 11 a.m., or after midnight-I don't want to p-off my DM! Thanks) I really want to make everyone's trip magical, so the faster we can clear up problems, the better for all.

This also points out that you really need to have all the information for the swapper before, and after you, with you. This includes full names, ressie numbers, check-in dates, and a phone contact (while at WDW if possible, and a home #) If you don't have this information with you, and something goes wrong, you won't be able to contact the swapper at POP, or at home if they've already left. You can leave a message for a swapper as long as you have their full name. (I've done this several times)
I'm hoping to hear back from resii that the fridge was found-he's returning sometime today.

 

[Dizneydaz]

mickeyhat-I sent you a PM on 5-1-07. Could you please respond? Thanks.

 

[resiii]

Hi everyone

When I left at 10 this morning they still hadn't found the fridge. I did leave them all the information about the previous swapper, myself and the next swapper so hopefully it will show up soon.

Rob

 

[Dizneydaz]

I've faxed the info to the next swapper that MAY be on the box. It's possible it has either resiii's, or wdwfamilyinIL's info, on it. As soon as I know more, I'll report back.

Everyone keep their fingers crossed!

Last time this happened, it showed up 2 swaps later.

Crossing my fingers and my toes

 

[Dizneydaz]

I just got off the phone with qv09vvp WE HAVE A FRIDGE!

Yeah! Bad news is that the hot pot (electric kettle) is missing. However, this was the fridge, in storage, that had wdwfamilyinIL's info still on it. Good news is that shannon1219 is adding a toaster to the swap.

So, the swap continues, thanks for all the crossed fingers, and toes!



To all still looking for a swap, our current list is on page 33, top of page.

 

[thelittlemermaid]

How far in advance can you get dates? My family is looking to going in August 2008.

With all the pages, I am a little lost.

TIA!!!

 

[5boyz]

WOO HOO!!! I knew those toes would come in handy!!!

I will be at Pop 6/20-6/27 and saw an opening for 6/20-6/23. How do the swaps generally occur when going from person to person? thanks for the info.

The swappers make the arrangements as to how to handle the hand off. Since I started it, and left it in storage for brymolmom, I can't say exactly how I did it (since I didn't) but basically, you make the arrangements with the one before, and after you. You provide each other will all the necessary information including, if you have it with you, a cel phone #. You'll need the person's full name if you want to leave them a message through the POP voice mail system. We would be glad to have you for that gap, and I'm sure others can post here how they handled their personal exchanges. Since you aren't arriving until the 20th, then the fridge would go into storage on the 19th, to be picked up (or delivered) by you and then (hopefully) handed off, in person, to the next swapper.

Some swappers, who leave early in the a.m. have actually made the swap the night before. 1 less thing to deal with in the a.m. Anything you want cold for the a.m. can be put in the sink, with some ice (milk,etc.)

Let me know if you want in, thanks

Oh, and welcome Newbie!

The way I did my personal hand off was The person following me left a msg at my room with their room number and we set up time to bring fridge to their room.
