No problem. Just read and comment on 5 TR (Trip Reports) or Dining Reports and you'll be at 10 in no time! ;) People love comments on their reports. :goodvibes
 
Hey there in SoCal, so jealous! I'm interested in joining the swap for the first time from 8/4-8/9. I am paid and confirmed and can PM you my info as soon as you're ready, according to page 1 my dates are available. We've never stayed more than one night at POP, so this will be helpful. Thanks!

That would be great! Go ahead and PM me with your info (full name, check in and out dates with approx. times, ressie #, and contact # while at WDW) and I'll put you on the list.

And yes, it is nice leaving in So. Cal. and so close to Disneyland! :wizard: Only thing that would be nice is living close to WDW (but then the heat/humidity would probably get to me!:rotfl2:)

Do you want the good news or the bad news first?:confused3

Bad news-this fridge swap is only for POP. Good news-if you are staying at AKL you will have a fridge in your room already. :) Have fun! LOVE AKL!

If it opens up I'll try to remember that you want it. ;)
 
Heard from DARay that she got the fridge from Luggage Services. Our swap is like the Energizer Bunny--we just keep going, and going, and going.......:goodvibes

If you are looking for available dates-please check list on page one before requesting. Thanks. ;)
 
Hey there, just an update for you. I'm your confirmed swapper for 8/4-8/9, but we will now be arriving on 8/3 around 3pm. I have contacted my prior swapper to see if we can do a personal swap rather then LS and am waiting for his reply. We will still be checking out on 8/9, and it appears I will be leaving for LS. I plan to contact my following swapper today. Thanks, let me know if there's any questions.

I sent Track101 (leaving 8/3) a PM as well. Unfortunately they are leaving around check out time (11 a.m.) but Track 101 is a CM so maybe you can still meet up. If not, just give him your into to leave on the box at LS.
 
As I update this thread and answer requests for my fridge I still can't believe how long this little old fridge swap has been going on!:cool1: Next month in August it will be 5 YEARS since this swap was started. It rapidly grew into something I don't think anyone could have invisioned! All it took was about 10 people sharing the cost of one small fridge and to date over 200 families have been able to use the fridge (and accompanying items). That original fridge went MIA within a few months but POP replaced it with another one (luckily we had a claim ticket!).

Then for awhile we had a larger fridge due to ours being MIA again. Luckily my family was able to use that larger one once.:cloud9:

Though there have been some bumps along the road, for the most part this swap runs pretty smoothly. :goodvibes A few things that have happened to us along the way, besides the first time our fridge went MIA, have been:
The Iceland volcano-swapper couldn't get out of Britain and fridge was unclaimed for about 3 weeks.:scared1:
1 or 2 swappers (early on) just didn't have the time in their busy vacation schedule to pick up the fridge as arranged. We were MIA again after that.

The fridge was missing for 4 months starting late in 2010 and finally being located around late March, 2011. Looks like it was just sitting there waiting for someone to find it (along with at least another long-time missing fridge)

A few swappers have caused problems by not wanting to take a little time to meet up and do the swap. Then I have to get personally involved-which I hate. I don't like having to make calls to resolve conflicts.

All in all though, most swappers have been great to work with. Which, I guess, is one of the reasons I am still running this swap. That and the fact that I have now used it 5 times, my sister used it this past May, and I hope to use it again this Fall. I believe I am the only original remaining Fridge organizer left (at least as far as I know.)

Many swappers have contributed to my little swap. Most recently DARay has provided us with a new box. There have been countless coffee makers and toasters. Room decorations. Ponchos. Autograph books. etc. There were even a few swappers, especially during the frist 1-2 years, who sent me (or DD) a little something as a "Thank you". Very much appreciate. DD still has that dark green University T-shirt(sorry can't think of the University right now) and I still have my Mickey Key Chain.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone for making this swap run smoothly for the most part. I thought I would post my thoughts instead of just bumping it up.;)

If you are looking for openings, please check first post.:goodvibes
 
Another successful swap completed. :goodvibes

Can't wait to see pixtures of our new custom box courtesy of DARay. :banana:
