This is the Hoppin' at the Pop Fridge Swap.
What is a refrigerator swap?
A fridge swap is a group of DISers who will be staying at a value resort and would like to have a refrigerator in their room without paying $10/night for a WDW fridge. A dorm-size refrigerator is purchased and passed from one vacationing DISer to the next on the list.
Here are some basic rules I think if we all follow will keep this running smoothly.
Please check the list on page 1 before pming me about available dates. If you see that the dates you want are available, them pm me your request. Put your requested dates in the subject line of the PM. I will ask you to provide me with the following information.
1. Your full name at check in AND check-in date.
2. Your reservation number
3. Your email address
4. Your phone numbers that you can be reached at especially while at Disney world
Once you are confirmed, I will note that on the list. If you don't have your ressie number but provide me with the rest of your information, I will hold you as temporary. Then I encourage you to contact the person before and after you to exchange information which includes the information that you give me. Usually about a month before your trip, but you can do it sooner if you want.
As far as the swap goes, you have to make the arrangements. You will either accept the fridge from Luggage Services or in person (between DISers). If you are not swapping in person, inquire at check-in if there is a fridge waiting for you. I've read that you can ask Luggage Services too. If you leave a fridge for a diser at Luggage Services, you have to leave taped to the side of the box their check in name, check-in date and reservation number. Bring paper, a marker, and tape to do this. Please keep this info off of the boards. Only use in pm's. If leaving the fridge with Luggage Services, please ask for a claim ticket number or some kind of information to verify that the fridge was left with Luggage Services. They are supposed to log everything they hold for guests. So at least make sure you see them do that and take down the CM's name. They all wear tags. (I've read somewhere that they can sometimes wear fake namebadges) Call and or pm the DISer who is picking up the fridge after you with the claim ticket number/additional information. Sometimes fridges are moved to Lost and Found or just misplaced. Usually they turn up and having this info can aid in finding it quicker. Be persistant, don't give up and just try to be calm and relaxed. I can guarantee you that I will be on the phone repeatedly until the fridge is found!
What's the best way to defrost the fridge?
Empty the fridge the night before you are checking out. Unplug it, and put a towel inside to catch the water. Leave the door open a little and by morning it should be defrosted. Make sure it is wiped dry. If you are leaving later in the day you could unplug it in the a.m.-it doesn't take to long to defrost.
Please keep it clean for the next user. Bring some disinfecting wipes in a zip lock or use a washcloth with soapy water and wipe it down thoroughly. Please be considerate for the next user.
What's my obligation, if I join this swap?
By joining this swap you agree to make your own arrangements for the swap and to do the swap as arranged. I insist that if you are pulling out of the swap that you give me at least a 2 week notice. Not right after the guest before you leaves for their vacation. You also agree to notify me if anything happens with the swap, or while you have the fridge. Additionally, you agree to clean (wipe out) the fridge, before you swap it. You also agree to make every effort to do the swap as arranged. If the fridge is left, unclaimed, in POP storage, past the date on the box, POP will consider it unclaimed, and dispose of it as they see fit. This includes passing it on to another swap. This can happen in less that 24 hours! You have to pick up, or have it delivered, in a timely manner or the entire swap will fall apart.
I just want to have fun with this and allow people to use a fridge for free while we can. I wish you all great and magical dreams on your WDW vacations.
Lets have fun on our boards and get to know one another. How cool to meet fellow DISers.
And remember.....the DIS, or any person involved with the DIS, shall NOT be liable for ANY problem(s) that may arise from this swap.
Here's a picture of it all boxed up so you know what you are looking for: Thanks merlot!
And this is the box the COFFEE POT is in. Thanks Goofy22!
