Wyndham Bonnet Creek Pay It Forward Bin OUTDATED

[sashusmom]

SASHUSMOM-
Thank you for the updated list of contents for Bin #2!

Can you tell me the approx. size of the small crockpot? This could be VERY useful for our family!!

The crock pot was very small- maybe a quart or smaller. It looked like it could be good for a couple cans of soup to be ready upon return from the pool or parks. Could be used to keep melted chocolate or fondu cheese dip, or any other hot dip.

 

[sashusmom]

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 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
box of minute rice
can of ravioli

If everyone copies and pastes the list when they return the bins and update the contents, it will always be mostly up to date.

Whoever starts bin 1 again, please list an inventory and subsequent users keep up the list with copy and paste, and edit as needed to maintain a good inventory list. This will be extremely helpful


Since my trip is done, I will no longer be checking this thread, until next trip- who knows when that will be. If anyone has questions for me, PM me and it will be forwarded to email. At least that happens on other forums.

This was a great thing to start Chelly. My thanks for your stepping up and getting it going. Hopefully you will have responsible users and avoid problems in the future.

My family and I will be there on 11/19 and will check out 11/26. If there are any bins available for that time or part of, I would be more than happy to keep the tradition going. Just let me know. Thanks!!

If you could look at the first post it will show you if anything is available and about the information you will need to message me to sign up. Thank you!

I keep getting a message saying that the message box is full.... Am I sending it wrong? (I'm new so I could be totally wrong!)

But.....Can we request Bin #2 when the previous group drops it off on 11/21? We can then drop it back off when we leave on 11/26. Let me know if this works. Thanks so much for doing this! It is a great idea and must be so much effort!

Try again It should be fixed now

Okay, everyone, just an FYI! I'm working double shifts the next 2 days and then we are off to Florida for 9 days. I will be offline for October 17th - October 26th so I won't be able to update the master list until I get back.

I have a new bin ready to go (it's bright teal!) and new paperwork for the inside of the bins. I may shuffle some of Bin 2 into Bin 1 to even them out a little, but I raided our sample bin and have lots of fun stuff to add. I'll post a list of what is in each bin when I get home!

Chelley, you are such a gem! Thank you for all you are doing and have done to keep this up! I hope you have an amazing trip!

 

[nancy155]

And thanks. To Disneyforus who began this process and Chelly for being so wonderful to take this huge task over! Thanks to both of you! Chelly have a wonderful trip!

Chelly- Have a fantastic trip! Thank you again for getting all of this together.

Thanks Chelley for doing this. I feel so bad that Bin #1 can't be found since I had it last. I don't get it. Is there something I can do to add to the new one you're making? I feel like it's my fault it's gone, but we returned it to bell service at the main building when we left. How does something so big disappear?! Please let me know if there's anything I can contribute to the new bin.

 

[Chelley00]

So Bin 1 is missing. I've been looking for it since Saturday. No one seems to know what it is or where it's gone.

I have to say that I'm ready to be done coordinating. It's taking up way too much time trying to track down missing bins and it's really disheartening that I can't even use it on my own trip.

 

[Julie93]

Gah!!! HOW?!!! That irks me. Did someone take it after me? Do we know?

 

[peterssm]

Chelley, you did get Bin 2, right? So #1 is still missing. I'm sorry all of your hard work isn't paying off. It's such a great idea!

As someone who was hoping to use Bin 1 in a few weeks, may I just suggest that you don't worry too much more about and enjoy your own trip. Nobody hoping to use a bin will have their lives (or trip) destroyed if there is no bin to use, and it's definitely not worth ruining your own trip after you've already dedicated so much time to this project.

I have a question. We are not supposed to put open items in the bin. So how about laundry detergent, dryer sheets, stuff like that? What if it's an opened bag of the tide pacs? Or an opened box that has closed packets in it (like oatmeal)? Thanks!

In putting dryer sheets and and tide pacs place them in a ziplock bag or the entire contents will smell and taste like the dryer sheets, otherwise I believe it is an accepted product to pay forward.

Okay Bin #1 is gone. We went to the main building bell services and then building 6 which is where it was left twice and no one had it. We then went to Lost and Found before we left and had the most fabulous security people help us look for over an hour yesterday (including calling all the bell services and housekeeping managers) and no one found it.

If anyone can restart it that would be great. I didn't have time to go buy a another bin. They did suggest staying away from grey or clear since housekeeping uses those colors for supplies

I did restart bin 2. It's now a teal color. When I dropped it off yesterday it had:

Loaf of bread we didn't open
Syrup
Nemo goggles
Bottled water
Juice boxes
Travel Kleenex
Lots of soap and shampoo samples
Roll of packing tape to put name labels on
And a few other odds and ends

We checked out a few hours ago and left bin 2 at the main building. I'll try to remember what was left:

Nemo goggles
Bottled water
Travel Kleenex
Lots of soap and shampoo samples
Two rolls of packaging tape
Toy foam airplane
Ziploc bags

We added these things:
Tide pacs
3 ponchos
2 sand buckets to play in pool
A splash ball for pool
AAA parking pass

We had a great trip! Thanks Chelley00 for your hard work!

I'm scheduled next up for Bin #1, and I'm assuming there is nothing to pick up (which is fine, I just want to make sure I don't have to do something).
