The disney survival bag swap... on hold

[SandrA9810]

Everything is more exciting while you're still here. It's when you finally get back home that things finally become boring. That's what being a kid is all about..

Does anyone have it Nov 10-17? I saw someone wants it Nov 17 and thats the day I leave, so if no one has the bag these dates, I'd be happy to take it. I will be able to add some stuff also.

I am making a tinker bell panel skirt and then I will try to also do a shirt with my embroidery machine. It really should be done by now but I am so busy with work. I have the panels sewn together, all 24, the waistband is cut and the ruffle is cut. I have to get our my ruffler and then just put it together. I will also put a few pins on the skirt so it can be brought in for really small ones.

I got out the pull ups and have them ready. Sorry I can't give much more but the custom tink will be very cute I promise.

Hi, just discovered the DIS a week or so ago, so I'm late coming into this!

I see all the upcoming dates are taken, but if you have someone drop out or reschedule or whatever I'd be happy to be listed as an alternate. We'll be in POP from Sept. 19-26th.

I typically only have snack foods and breakfast type items to leave behind myself, but this trip we are traveling with extended family of 19! people so there's no telling what all stuff they may have left as well. If nothing else, maybe I could meet the DISer who will have the bag that week on our way out to donate some things to the bag.

Thanks for your help!

I have the bag Nov 14-18th but am willing to share it if we can make the appropriate arrangements...

Drew, Marshay, Disneylush: Since DL is going to be there from the 1-14, at POP as well, DL could give the bag over, say around 11th to Drew. Then Marshay you could pick the bag up from Drew on 16th. Or something like that.... That way every one has a bit of time with the bag, and can toss in whatever they think they won't need for the remainder of the days. But that's totally up to the two that are already on the list. But if you feel like you have plenty to donate after your trip, let me know and I can pick up your extras to be put in the bag.


Beldred: If you want to, you could meet up with Parker's moma, she'll be at POP as well. That way you can hand off your extras before it's delivered to minnievanmom.

Good luck with 19... I hope you don't plan on sticking together every day all day... I had my whole family plus friends at Animal Kingdom (I think 16 total), our problem was we were outnumbered by kids and wheelchairs/strollers. It was a huge caravan that didn't move too well. Definatly an interesting experience to say the least.

I'll need to think through on this...we're only going to be in the park 3 days (other two days are travel days) so I really want to limit our time outside the parks. I'm definitely willing to share with someone but you're right...I'd need to make additional arrangements to return the unused things and add our own supplies..I wasn't thinking it all through with the multiple hand-offs. Sorry, probably best to just keep it all as is...that way you don't have to make extra trips and I just have to pickup/handoff once.

Anyone hear from the girl who has it right now? I'm flying in Friday morning.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Here is the outfit I made. I have left a small opening with ribbon to be tighten for smaller size waists. I just got an embroidery machine and I hope to get a tinkerbell on the shirt.

First off, sorry for the whole mishap with iluvjus. No one knows where they have disappeared to. Tomlin has called me today, the bag is in luggage claim. I have MickeyP's contact info and will hopefully be picking the bag up and dropping off to them. Hopefully after today things will work out a little more smoothly.
The reason why I didn't switch users so easily is because tomlin told me that everything had been worked out with the two other users, I guess getting the bag was the worked out part. I knew there was a good reason why I kept my name/phone number on the bag, in case there were any trade off mishaps. But today will give me a chance to leave a few more things in the bag that evie had left over.

To macro, (or whoever has Minnie spinner toy), I'll be sending you a PM with my address. I wanted to get back home from Texas before I asked you to send anything just so I'd be here to get it.

In general, I am home from Texas now. Hopefully by the end of this weekend I'll have life straightened out a bit and having things back to normal. And I'll definatlly be more in tuned to what is going on here. I felt frustrated being a 1,000 miles away and not being able to be here if something went wrong. And I know Kari was here to help out, but I'm the kind of "gotta do it myself to make sure it's right".

To Minnie: That is highly adorable.

Minnie-

How Cute!!!! You are talented! Can't wait to see it in person!

I bought a new item for the bag, it's a Halloween candy bag. It's a fairly large cloth bag with ghost mickey on the front. Really really cute, and I know it'll be handy once the Parties start. I only bought one, but if the kids are picky about sharing, you can use the free plastic bags they give you to keep things seperate, and store them all in the one bag. I've had a couple before that gave out and had to double bag them, so if a plastic one breaks inside the cloth, you got yourself covered.

Thanks to evie we know have plenty of squeeze breezes. We still got 2 more months of hot weather. And I also have a new storage box for extras. She gave me a cute red box, with a yellow lid and a black ribbon on top. It's nice and big and will hold plenty.

Hopefully I can come across some good priced blankets. I know how handy those can come in once the cold sets in. Especially when you're waiting for the parade of fireworks. I find it so funny when people don't pay attention to the weather, and now the whole family has a brand new disney jacket. And the night before, all the merchandise people are setting up rolling racks to bring out first thing in the morning.
It's amazing how many of the blankets with purchase gets sold during that time cause the kids start to get too cold at night, but they don't want to miss the fun of parades.

It will be fun to meet you too. I am not talented. You should see what the people on the sewing forum make. That is talent. I just wanted to make something easy but cute for the bag. What you can't see is that one of the panels has tinkerbell on it.

I have the software and the machine but don't have the time to learn how to digitize and get tinkerbell on the shirt. But I didn't know if I would get the skirt done either and it is finished early.

Thanks for doing this bag swap and to everyone for contributing.

2010 is available, there is one person on the list so far. They will be checking in on the 19th, so there's a couple days overlap That'll give you time to figure out the best time for swapping the bag. The username is on the first post, so send them a PM and see what you can work out. And as well send me a PM with your name, resort, phone, and email. I will only contact you if a problem arises, and your info will be deleted after your trip is complete.

Thanks for joining.
