This is the first swap I’ve ever hosted that required research to set up. I’ve been to MVMCP and done lots of the other Christmas stuff but I totally had to search to find info on the other things. I think I’ve covered everything but please feel free to post if you feel there is something I should add.
This swap is for all of the extra special events that Disney does throughout the year. It includes MNSSHP, MVMCP, the Pirate and Princess Party, and other special events at WDW and Disneyland. I’ve opened one group for each topic but will open more as needed.
Check-in:

Due Date: November 19
We are making mini page kits consisting of 1 topper/title and 2 elements of your choice for all groups except for groups with specific instructions (party-specific parade groups, Food and Wine Fest and Flower and Garden Fest). See list below for more details.
Step 1 – Choose your topic. You may sign up for more than one group if you would like. Follow the sign-up instructions for each group. You don't need to tell us what you are making unless you are in the event groups. We all know what its like to start and change your plans mid-stream.
Step 2 - PM me with your DIS name, name, home address, email address, and phone numbers. Email and phone numbers will only be used to follow up if I have not heard from you. Check the progress thread for your status - it will be updated with check-in, ship info and received info.
Step 3 – After you create your items, package them individually in Ziploc bags and place all of your bags for each group in it’s own, larger (gallon size) Ziploc bag. Please be sure to package each group separately. Include your name, DIS name and group number on each larger bag. Include return postage for whichever method you prefer. If you want delivery confirmation, don't forget to send in the extra money for that as well as a completed d/c slip.
Please don’t send metered or click-it/ship-it postage – some hostesses have had issues with these.
Step 4 – Check in on the progress thread regularly. Check the thread for updates, receipt and shipping info.
Step 5 – PM me if you have problems and need to drop out or if an emergency happens (we all know things happen beyond our control sometimes), let me know so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help if needed.
Element List (thanks to SusieStone for this one
) – if you have another idea for an element, let me know and I will add it.
NO hand written lettering on ANY items. Please use computer fonts, rub-ons, stickers or stamps. NOTE: Embellished means using brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon/fiber, 3D stickers (matted stickers/cliparts are okay too) or embossing (dry/heat).
TOPPER - The size and orientation is up to you. Please do not make it more than 8 inches wide. You may cut letters out to spell a title but make sure the letters are at least 1 1/4 inches and have a shadow matted behind each letter. If you choose to cut out a title, place letters in a separate baggie and let us know what they spell.

We've never done any of the special things. And with both kids in school now, I don't think we ever will.
