The disney survival bag swap... on hold

[SandrA9810]

Back so soon?? You're the first for March...

reread the first post cause I did a couple of rule changes.

I'm BAAACK!

Thank you Sandra for hosting the swap! It's was a blessing!!

We made it to CM just in time and NO LINES! I wish I could have chatted longer but I was so woried we wouldn't make our ressie. You would have loved watching Parker at CM...she tried blowing off Goofy. She was to interested in her new Pokemon cards! Thank you do much for them. That helped soothe the hurt from Disney forgetting her birthday! We have celebrated every one of her birthdays there and this year...the year of "what do you celebrate" and she didn't get get a card, balloons, or one towel animal. That was a first to her and she just couldn't understand WHY Mickey gave everyone around us towel animals (in the windows) and she didn't get one. I just reminder her of all the wonderful Pokemon cards she got that not one other child got at Disney. That definitely helped. I don't know what I would have done without your generous gift!

If you decide to start another bag...I'M IN! Yep we booked the bounceback! We are headed 9/8-9/22...I can't wait.

Thank you again for hosting the swap and thinking of Parker!!!

I need to changed that resort we are staying at! With this new deal we are going to stay at CBR

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Just back and barely functioning. However in the unpacking I realized that we have two mickey halloween candy bags. Sandra I need to mail 1 of them back to you! I also found I have the dish soap that was in the plastic bag. I can mail it back or just send some money for it. I may have added my soap from the DVC but don't remember.

There were a few spin toys that were not working when we got the bag. DS did break a fan but replaced it with a new one. Sorry for that.

It was the best to be so surprised when we opened the bag. We didn't know what to expect at all. I used the sunscreen often and the laundry sheet when I could not find my soap. When we switched resorts DH packed and that is when so much ended up in the wrong cases.

Our trip was great the bag was waiting from Parkers and "me a mom" called my cell to pick up the bag. I trust she got it. I hope everyone enjoys the little girls tink outfit I made for the swap. I would like to see pictures if you would PM me.

Sandra, thanks for all the good works in doing this for us. We will be back May 27th - June 6th 2010 at the Beach Club again so please sign up for then. I will contribute another Disney custom outfit and..... I don't have clue right now.

The bag is great. The most fun was opening it to see what was inside. We have used the sunscreen daily and thanks to the person who put that in. We had our own but used it up.

I replaced the fan DS broke with a blue park fan, sorry for that. I have put in the outfit and the pull ups. There is very little room left now. I think I will put the pull ups in the cooler.

It has been a great trip and I make a tag for Me A Mom. The next one was for a person that dropped out.

This was a super idea and thanks for letting us use the bag.

If the sunscreen was Hawaiian Tropic that was us! I had forgotten we put some in there until I saw your post. Hopefully that makes up for the drink singles that I thought we had left. Turns out my daughter took them back out when I wasn't looking because she wanted them for the drive home. I found them in her backpack the week after we got home! I guess the other two boxes we had packed in the snack back weren't enough

LOL, gotta love the little kid's hands.

Parker's Moma: I feel the same way, I always get jipped on the towel animals. We've stayed at least one time a year in a resort, and never once have I gotten more than the the mickey head on the bed arriving. And there's some pretty cool ones in the window, that I get jealous too.
And you managed to book your bounce back, the same time some one else has asked for the bag (sept 10-18), but if I ever do start another, or if this person backs out, you can hop on again. I hope next year's birthday will be better for her.

Just got home....at midnight last night!!! Feeling that "Disney Depression" already. You know, the one that you feel as soon as you leave the magic. Getting adjusted back into the real world quickly. Had to be at work at 8am this morning.

We really enjoyed the bag! Thanks to everyone for the donations. MinnieVanMom, my daughter LOVED the outfit. AND it was just her size. I took pictures of her in it at the BBB. I will send them to you.

We left some waters, disney coloring books and crayons, shaving cream, and some Disney books. I hope Mauldita got the bag yesterday. If left it at poly bag claim for her. We talked on the phone also, so I trust she found it.

Thanks again for the added extras we had to enjoy during our trip.

 

[Disneylush]

Nov. 4-14 is now OPEN as I will no longer be using the bag.

Thanks you all!

 

[SandrA9810]

Mauldita: I hope you're back home safe and sound. Let me know how everything went.

 

[Mauldita]

Hi Sandra! We got back to SC Sunday afternoon. Loved the bag! The boys loved the light up toys so that saved us a bit of money and the laundry soap helped a couple of times. You have done a really thoughtful thing putting this swap together. I had no problem picking up from the Poly (CUTE bellman there too!) I did hit a bit of a snag Saturday night and was not able to get the bag to Michelle until Sunday afternoon, but I spoke to her and she seemed to to be fine with it. I did add another bag - a light blue duffle with lots of goodies for kids - bubbles, dollar store Mickey toys and some Halloween decorations. Once those are gone the bag will help someone tote home souvies.
We have gone to WDW for three years running and the heat really kicked our rearends this time (my husband has prothetic limbs). So we have decided to take a break until 2012 to let the boys get a bit older and hopefully will be a little easier on us! It would be interesting to see if the swap continues and how it evolves, so I will continue to sub the thread...who knows? Maybe I can sign up again! Thanks again to you and everyone that has participated.

Thanks you all!

Thanks for letting me know Disneylush. Hopefully, your trip is still on and you just don't need the bag...

 

[Philharmagiclover]

I thought I sent a PM. We will be at POR from Oct 29 thru Nov 9 and would love to absorb any available days! Thanks!

 

[EcbLovesMickey]

This looks like so much fun, but looks like the week we're there someone has already nabbed it... oh well, maybe next trip

 

[Philharmagiclover]

Just throwing this out there....the last few trips we have purchased a case of beer and we always have some leftover.....would the OP like this or should we put it in the bag????

 

[coastiewifern]

Is there a recent assessment of what is in the bag? I don't want to bring things I don't need. Perhaps this is somewhere in an earlier post???

 

[SandrA9810]

I've listed some of the lots of stuff on the first post. But to know what's in it now, the users that have gotten it, will have to post what they put into it.

I'll be hanging onto the bag from the 9-14th of Nov, so I'll send a PM then of what's in it. And I do have some cleaning stuff and laundry soap at home that's waiting to be used as a refill.

Every time I get the bag, I go through it and reorganize it, and make sure things are still working and in good condition. And put anything in that needs to be refilled.


Philhar: I'd contact the few users after you, to see if they would like it. It's not something I'd drink or use at home. If not, I'm sure there's some one on the camping board that would love to have it. They've always got a beer to pass around. And I'd deliver it to the Fort if you can find some one.

Hi Sandra,

If you can PM me your address, I have 50-60 packets of Tide Laundry soap that I received for FREE but now I can't use since we just bought front loader washer that I will mail to you to add to the swap. They are great for disney since one packet is for one load plus they don't spill.

Just a quick note that I have the bag and will pass it on tomorrow. The Aloe Vera helped with my sunburn nicely! Be aware that the Blue Disney Mist/Fan bottle battery compartment flips open easily and the batteries fall out. We've lost 2 sets of batteries already. There is lots and lots of laundry soap left. Even with Mauldita's extra blue bag, the bags are literally bursting at the seams. Additions aren't really needed. We may have some leftover food stuffs we will put in grocery bags for the next person.
Thanks for the survival! Cold front arrives tomorrow.

I'll be hanging onto the bag from the 9-14th of Nov, so I'll send a PM then of what's in it.

Sending you a PM now re: the handoff on Nov 14th.
