Wyndham Bonnet Creek Pay It Forward Bin OUTDATED

[Chelley00]

It looks like bin 1 was booked solid from now through mid December. If it's not found, would it be ok to restart a new one? If so, I don't mind to do that when we arrive, but it won't be until late November.

I'll restart it if it hasn't been found by the time we go October 18th.

Hi guys I have bin 2 and will be passing it off to tyandbec on sat or sun. Will have to double check. So bin 2 is good. Had no trouble picking it up. It was where it should have been.

Went to Universal's Horror Night tonite! It was different. Daughter loved it. It was fun watching people get scared. Not much scares me so I just went with the flow.

We are in tower 4, floor 14, overlooking the lake. Very pretty. Room is great-got the delux 2 bedroom. I'll post pics when I get back on the 1st.

I found bin #2 at the main building with bell services. I looked around for #1 there and also in building #6 and it's nowhere to be found.

Bin #2 has a note that it is being held for Rebecca Wood "TyandBec"

I have not had a chance to get on here but I have not had a chance to pick up the bin. We have left so early and got back so late I haven't made it to the main building. I will contact the next person on the list.

It should be a silver bin and in bell services. Sometimes you have better luck if you ask if you can go in and look.

I know we've been discussing the bin, and it's MIA......but a previous post said it was a green treasure chest. Are we looking for silver or green do we think? Tags can fall off, and staff may have no idea what we're asking for. And it's been just over a month that it went missing, are there other possible places other than tower 1 or 6? Just trying to help problem solve! Hope this is found for all of us!!

I'm working 70 hours a week right now, but as soon as I have a chance I'll read back through to make sure I haven't missed a bin color change.

I'm there Oct 18-25 and will try to restart Bin 1 if it's not found by then. I've also called WBC and asked that they start asking for ID to pick up the bin because it's going missing way too often and I wonder if it's being taken by people not on the list. I'm not sure they will but I hope so.

Chelley that's a good idea. I just walked into the services room with the bell hop and located the bin and took it. I wasn't even questioned. Also, some of the bell hops have no idea what these bins are.

A couple tips- the starter supplies have small salt and pepper shakers, dish soap, dishwasher and washing machine soap, microwave popcorn and drink mixes. Some coffee and filters. Some sugar. Each bath has 3 rolls of TP in the vanity. Small soaps and small shampoo and conditioner and lotion.

If you are expecting rain on your trip the rain ponchos in the grocery stores are 1/2 the price( $3-$5) of those in disney or universal- $10!!! I'm talking the heavier plastic type ones.

I will list the contents of bin #2- Grey or silver tote box with lid. If people can cut and paste this list and add or delete as needed it will keep up the inventory and stay pretty accurate.

-Quart and gallon zippie bags.
-2 ramon noodles and 3 cup of noodles
-1 can spaghettios
-pancake mix
-1 can tuna
-1 can green beans
-2 envelopes instant oatmeal
-plastic utensils
-plenty of dishwasher soap
-some laundry supplies- box of drier sheets
-disinfectant wipes
-instant cold drink mixes
-coffee, filters,tea, salt,pepper,sugar packets
-foil
-travel purse pack tissues
-pam spray
-fajita mix
-disposable ponchos- 2 or 3 (very light weight plastic)
- a small crockpot
-travel book and coupons

The last name posted to the bin was tyandbec's when I shelved it.

We leave Sunday. I'll try to start up Bin #1 again. We will have a lot of stuff to put in it.
Where can I buy a bin here?

When I started one up a few years ago I went to Walmart to purchase a Rubbermaid tote. Also purchased some packing tape in order to tape next guest info on bin.

Hi guys. Any luck on finding Bin #1? It's a plastic, green treasure chest about the same size as one of the smaller Rubbermaid totes. I don't understand what keeps happening. When we checked in August 3, Bin #2, the one we were supposed to get, was no where to be found. My husband went back in to the room with the bell service guys and only saw the green treasure chest (#1). I checked the list and since no one had it signed out, I took that one. We added some stuff to it (soap, juice, stickers, etc) and took it back down to the main tower's bell service on August 10 when we checked out. Now it's the one missing. So bizarre. I never changed the name on it because the person listed would still be the one actually getting it. But yes, there was about a month and a half lull before the next person was supposed to pick it up. Maybe it gets shoved behind something when it's been sitting there so long? You'd think they'd know what these bins were because they're in there so often.

I am checking in Saturday and down for Bin 2 that is apparently missing. . should I expect to see it or no? Anyone there now?

 

[monagh10]

Bin 2 is present, bin 1 is missing

Go ahead and check. Julie93 dropped it off in the main building bell services. It is a green tub. Hopefully it's just wandered off and made it's way back.

Went looking for bins today. Only bin #2 (silver/gray) was there.....room where they stored it was really bare, and right where you pull up to check in at main building. The bell service rep knew exactly what I was talking about and said, "oh, the box that people keep passing on?"

Basically the same stuff that was listed before is still in it. Didn't see oatmeal, and tuna can was really dented badly, so that's gone now. I'll post what else I leave in it when I return with next persons name. It still had tyandbeck's name on box too.

 

[Chelley00]

If Bin 1 hasn't been restarted I will do so when we get there on the 18th.

When you pick up a bin, insist the bell service guy ask for your ID. Maybe we can get them in the habit of doing so.

Thanks, Chelley! I'm looking forward to my second visit to WBC and participating in this "Pay It Forward" club is fantastic. I always cringe when I have to leave perfectly good products behind to go in the garbage.

It's great to do this for others! Thank you!

 

[peterssm]

I think this is a great opportunity for me to impress upon my kids the importance of paying things forward! Thanks, Chelley, for organizing all of this and for restarting Bin #1 if necessary!

 

[sbozek123]

Returning Bin #2 right now. Added a box of minute rice and a can of ravioli. This bin is packed!!!

Side note. Had more things to give, but going to see if I can catch up with the person who has bin #1 restart, and give other things to them!
