PMing you

Need ideas for dinner reservations?

 

[parkers*momma]

I don't know how far in advance you book these swaps, but I think it is a fantastic idea. I was worried about saving extra money to rent a stroller for 2 weeks. I am going down with my family from Feb 26th 2010 to March 14th. I am staying off site, but am willing to meet whoever is before and after me onsite. Do you book this far in advance?

I don't see the swaps going anywhere.

I'll put you on the request list and as when we get a little closer, I'll PM you

This is such an awesome idea!!!

Can't wait until our next Disney trip!! 103 days!!!!

how is the weather in June???

 

[bbrownie75]

You ROCK with the stroller swap! Less stress on me trying to find one!! Thanks!!!

 

[bbrownie75]

Already have told two other friends about your thread and they are looking to see if their dates are open!!

 

[bbrownie75]

do we still need to personalize our stroller? Name tags, laminated signs, bandanas??

here's the difference:

AHHHH thanks for the visual! That's helpful. I'm thinking in December that it may not be as necessary to have it right? (I see #2's is missing....)

Good question! I have also wondered about someone stealing it. I've heard people say that they've had strollers stollen at Disney! (That's horrible to imagine.....)

everything is updated

Now on to pressing issues.

I'm not going to be around much the next couple days. My mom and step-father were in a serious car accident. Mom is lucky, a broken ankle in two places(from hitting the brakes) which will require surgery, a possible broken breast bone (from the seat belt), cuts, and bruises. My Step-dad is in critical condition in ICU. Broken Hip, Broken femur, broken ribs, internal injuries, a massive cut on his hand that is going to require skingraphing, and various cuts.

I've got to head to airport to Pick up his son tomorrow afternoon (he lives in ARKANSAS) and take him to the hospital. It's two hours to the airport, an hour and half to the hospital, and then bring him to our house when he is comfortable with leaving his dad.

So it is going to very late when I get online to update the thread. If anyone has a question, I'll get to it as soon as I get home. If someone requests a stroller, could someone post that they need to PM me their information (from post #1) and I will get them in the swap as soon as I get home. If someone is at WDW and has a problem and posts it on the thread, could someone PLEASE PM them and tell them I will be on it as soon as I get home.

I'm going to take my laptop with me so hopefully I can get a connection at the hospital or the McDonald's beside it or a house near it (HEY anything is possible) so while I'm sitting there, I can try to get things answered, booked, resolved.

Just bear with me, it's going to be a long couple days until I know they are both safe and sound.

Thanks for understanding!

If it makes you feel better, you can bring a bicycle lock and lock it at some of the rides BUT each stroller has big letters on the shade that says "royal Carriage swap #1, 2, 3, or 4. Plus if found call: XXX-XXX-XXXX

hahaha I don't see it being stolen with all that on the shade.

Maddi, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and step-father. I am on vacation this week (school break) and I have been on the boards all day so I'd be happy to PM any swappers having trouble and I'll be sure to let new swappers know to PM you with the info from post 1.

Don't worry about us. We'll all be here when you get back. Take care of your family and yourself.

Thinking of you
