The Christmas 2006 Tree Swap Now Closed!

[Joan S.]

Thanks for the baggage information, Angel16!


Tomorrow will be the last day to sign up (Halloween). I close the swap to any newcomers 11/1 first thing in the morning (I'll count the overnight submissions). I will post the lists within a day or two of that, and I will start PM'ing the "first in line" people to see if they're still in, and will be supplying a tree. If they bow out, I'll take them off the list and ask the 2nd in line, and so on. As soon as the list is posted, you can start PM'ing the person before and after you in line in order to set up your own swap. Please let me know if you get no response from the people you're swapping with, so I can bump them off the list and rearrange. So, as you can see, the sooner you let me know where you stand, the easier it is for me, and everyone else involved.

Thanks, everyone, for your involvement in this! It really does add a sparkle to the holiday vacations!

Hi, What if the person before you arrives before you do and stays longer than you??? I noticed the person before me in the BC SWAP and I would be in this situation. Joan S.

You may be the recipient of a tree from the YC, since they're so close by. I'll do my best with the lists, so that the swap occurs as close as possible to one person's checkin/ the other person's checkout, but that may mean going between resorts a little. As soon as I work the lists, it may become a little clearer.

Mindy,

I'm heading out of town tomorrow for a week - so if you get the lists together and PM me, I won't get it until Nov 7th. We definitely are "in" for sure. OK?!! Thanks for all your time and effort putting this together and I will get back to you on 11/7.

OK! Have a good trip, and we'll be talking to you!

Hi, No problem for me to pick up a tree at another resort we will have a car. And I just wanted to say THANK YOU and for doing this! My son and I are both celebrating SPECIAL actual Birthdates at WDW,since we were both near Christmas babies this is really a DREAM come true trip for the two of us! (I JUST have to start getting ready for Christmas NOVEMBER 1st and I should be GOOD-TO-GO by December 17th!!) Joan

Okay, everyone, I posted the lists on page 1! Got it done sooner than I originally planned, because I suspect there's going to be some changes requested, and wanted to give us some time to work with them. Look over everything on the list, PM the people before and after you on your list to set up drop off/ pick up times and places. If you have a santa next to your name, that means you're bringing a tree (or shipping one, bless you, paper1225!). If this doesn't work for you, PM me ASAP! This only works if everyone participates, and I don't want to see anyone disappointed (not that anyone can be disappointed in WDW around Christmastime!). Thanks for all your involvement, and see you around the holidays!

Oh, and to add...look at what DomisDisAunt found on Walmart online! I want to see that passed around on the monorail! http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5012959

Just a note...I made a change to swaps 4 and 11. Please recheck your order if you're in these swap lines. Cinderella Fan, since you lost your swap buddy, I plugged you into one of the POFQ swap lines...hope this isn't too inconvenient. I wanted to make sure you had a tree for your honeymoon suite...

Now the front desk will definately hold the tree for a few days if there is a gap between days, correct?

 

[UrsulasShadow]

I'm counting on it...they have always done it before. Just make sure to put the full name of the recipient, the check-in date, and the resort they're from (if it's different from the resort they're picking up at), along with "Hold for Check-In" on the package. They hold packages shipped to them in this way, so I don't think it will be a problem. I'd make sure it's in a bag or box, though.

EDITED TO ADD:
Okay, that answer wasn't definite enough, and I hate wishy-washy answers! So I called up Coronado Springs directly, spoke to Thomas (thanks, Thomas!), and he said it's no problem to leave a package for someone checking in later. Leave it with Bell Services, and remember, that's where you will be directed to pick it up as well, at Bell Services. There! A REAL answer!

Has everyone started contacting each other? I know there are some swaps which are all set, but I haven't heard from some others.
