Royal carriage swap-#1 STROLLER-MISSING-FOUND-MISSING AGAIN

[parkers*momma]

I see you have us down for the stroller #2 for May. I have not received any information on where to send payment. Thanks

If you can also change our dates for May 20th. We are going to come in early.

I remember stroller #3 having a problem and getting "disposed" of. What did we find out was the official policy on things in storage and how long they can be there. I don't see anyone after me yet but want to be prepared with this information when I send it to the next resort to be used by the person after me.

I have you in, confirmed, and your dates changed

The official word I recieved was that a stroller will be held no longer than 10 days. But I'm trying my best to make sure that it isn't no more than one or two days--TOPS!

I even thought about asking fellow swappers--who happen to be at WDW when a stroller is sitting to long--to be the foster swapper of another stroller. I'd much rather to that than run a chance of losing another stroller.

What do you guys think?

Here's Miley (TeaCup Chihuahua)

AWWWW HOW SWEET. I would love to have a lap dog but everytime I talk about it...I get a big dog. I had a beautiful black lab/st bernard mix for 16 years. This was my beloved Charlie with Parker.

When he passed away, after a loooong time, I decided to go for it. Told DH, DDad, everyone I really wanted a yorkie. One day a couple I knew split up and was taking their dog to the shelter because both moved to an apartment and couldn't have pets.

This is my yorkie:

HAHAHA Well at least he is long haired! This is Chester, a beautiful collie. He's a very loving gentle furbaby and fits right into our family. He's 5 years old now (we've had him for 3 years) so eventually (in another 10 years or so) I might...just might get a yorkie.

I would be interested in the stroller swap. We will be there May 24-30 if one is still available then.
Thanks

Could you...would you? That would save me a lot of time and $$. I called them (SILKSCREENERS)and if I dropped it off in the morning, I could pick it up the evening of the following day. This could/would save me about 48 hours. I really need to make sure it is waiting on BOWBIEJUKE on the 25th.

I am just about to PM you

 

[parkers*momma]

I'm simply glad everyone has been so patient with me when it comes to answering!

I run a business and in the past two weeks, I've had 2 girls go on sick leave and I had to fire to girls which means mega hours for me.

You'd think after 15 years I would learn not to get my panties in a bunch and fire ppl around the holidays. I was SUPPOSE to work a total of 16 hours last week and 16 hours this week instead I worked 60 hours last week and close to that this week.

Everything is updated..here, on my laptop, and my hardcopy. Trying to get confirmation from a couple of swappers, going to re-PM those who don't have $$ beside their names (if I haven't heard from them since the last massive PM send to see if they still want to be in the swap) and start shopping for that new stroller.

RYAN840-Thank you so much for all of the helopful links. You are making my job alot easier.

MelXthree...I'll PM you the information for the stroller. Thank you for doing this, it's going to save us so much time!

I will contact the people who are before me in the swaps and see if either of them can swap the stroller later in the day on the 29th for my friend, and when I hear from them I'll let you know which one we can take off.

On a different note, I have a ton of stroller hooks that come with those click n go cup holders (they tend to break after a trip to WDW and always come with the hooks so we have an overabundance) that I would be happy to leave with the stroller. They are no mommy hook but they hold a decent amount and I haven't had one break yet- I usually double them up if I think a package may be too heavy for it.

Since you want the stroller on the 29th, you will probably be able to get both of them that day. Avamadison and hygienejean are both leaving WDW on the 29th. I don't know what time, but I do know they are leaving that day. Cool huh? So you might get to do a face to face swap with both of them depending if they leave after you arrive. I really really love the idea of face to face swaps! No chance of a stroller going missing....wahooooo! Now to get swappers for after you are there....so those stroller don't have to sit in luggage services for 5 days!

We can ALWAYS use hooks. It seems they are the one thing that tends to missing. Thanks for offering to bring them for the strollers!

I pm'd them both to see about getting them on the 29th, so if they can both turn them in we'll be golden. I will defintely leave some stroller hooks behind, but I don't ecpect them to hang around long unless we use caution with them. They are sturdy, but still plastic and don't clip on the stroller, they just hook on. We've never had a problem and we've loaded them up, so as long as everyone takes care not to lose them and packs them in the storage bag we should do well.

Just a little bump

So far for Stroller 1, the time difference is 11 days between from when the stroller is dropped off in March and I pick it up on April 9.

I know

I've posted over on the family thread hoping to pick up new swappers. If anyone belongs to a mommy forum/disney forum, please feel free to post our link over there.

The only other option we have is to have current swappers foster strollers not being used.

 

[ryan840]

I've heard from one of the swappers ahead of me and she will leave the stroller at the resort for us the day we arrive, so just waiting to hear from the other one.

Perfect!

I'm glad you was able to locate the fridge from your swap! Doesn't it make you wonder what WDW does with all the fridges and strollers they have that seem to be lost?

Ohhh there are some theories out there . I wonder if there will be storage charges on the horizon for the swaps. OR if they will just stop them and not notify anyone but the dumpster company? When I was down there I spoke to a few CMs, including MGRs and they really didn't seem to have any problem with them-other than not wanting to be responsible for them. So I wonder if they would start charging a storage fee-because then it would make them responsible. Who knows-as my grandmother used to say "You'll know when you know" -still don't get that one-but now she's got me saying it!
