Question for John/Brian @ Owners Locker

[jgazda]

About a month or so ago I got a questionnaire regarding stroller rentals. Just wondering if you are getting close to making this happen. We are making a trip in November and would love to have one less thing to bring through the airport.

Thanks!

yep...you should be hearing from us really soon. The response to our survey was overwhelming (thanks) and we've had various strollers out in the parks over the last few week being tested.

So, John, what's next? Can we expect ECVs too?

I vote rental Kayaks Can't you just see the purple van with a rack on top?

Hey - any pictures of the inside of your storage facility? I'm curious and bet it's extremely organized.

How about letting newbies ship a package to you, so that you will deliver the package to the hotel along with the empty locker? There's been a lot of talk lately about the inconvenience and cost of shipping a package to yourself if you will be staying at a Disney hotel which has a convention facility attached to it.

(It seems unfair to me that, for example, someone who stays at BCV or BWV will be charged, but someone staying at AKV or OKW will not.)

This is GREAT news John. Since I'm not yet an OL owner, I didn't know. I certainly hope that you will post here and let the rest of us know too. We'll be there the first week of F&W and I'd much rather give the money to you guys for a stroller than to Disney (or even worse the third party co. now running it).

We drive most of the time now and could easily carry our own but the only reason we rent is because the Disney strollers handle so well in the parks. They push good and they're easy for the little one to get in and out of. I certainly assume you guys are looking at something of similar design/quality.

Looking forward to hearing more.

We just signed up for Ol and would love to know if I could send a package down so that I don't have to go shopping when we're on vacation??

 

[jgazda]

Fantastic. Can't wait to see what you guys have to offer and what the cost is. I'll be anxiously awaiting the news.

Hey Diane, we're such perfectionists, it took us forever to do strollers..even though our Members had been urging us for some time. If we're going to do something, it has to be done right. I've got to tell you that scooters scare the hell out of us...soooo many things that can go wrong...never say never, but I don't see it.

twinklebug...I love it...a purple kayak!!

Best/Goofy we have a fairly strong preference that you ship to your resort...we would prefer not to be in the middle if there's damage during shipping...but if you really would prefer to ship to us or if you're going to be staying in one of the convention resorts, we'll be glad to work with you.

Wilson/jg we've been doing our homework and have had lots of strollers in the parks for testing...we're very pleased and think you will be too. Our members will be hearing from us in a few days. Thanks for asking!!
