Event swap Interest thread--new info post #1

[wdwmickey]

Hi everyone

The event swap (MNSSHP, MVMCP, general Disney Halloween and Christmas) is currently scheduled for sign-ups on July 11th with a due date of September 6th.

After everyone's input I have decided to leave this swap right where it is We can push the due date if we find we need more time. What I need now are suggestions for categories and special events at WDW and DLR.

I'm thinking single elements, but, I could be persuaded to have mini-kit groups as well As far as categories MNSSHP, MVMCP, general Disney Halloween, general Disney Christmas, Food & Wine, Star Wars Weekend, Celebrating a birthday at Disney, Flower & Garden. Let me know if there is anything you want added. I'll post group list by July 3rd.

Thanks for all your help so far

I know we have a lot going on right now, but after the end of this month when all these are due, there is not a lot happening. Just what I am seeing. Whatever you decide is fine, but keep in mind that many are wrapping up.

Cheryl ~ I agree if you want to hold off or postpone.. there really is a lot going on right now..and alot of angel spots that have had to be filled... just let me know what you decide...but I understand whatever you decide!

I think I'd like to at least push it back a little to give all of us a chance to finish with EPCOT and the 2 alphabet swaps. I'm just feeling totally overwhelmed with swaps right now. I may feel differently after my vacation at the end of the month. Let me see what others think and I'll make a final decision by July 5th.

Cheryl ~ make the decision when you are most comfortable!!!
While I am not in many swaps (actually swap free currently).. it overwhelms me with the number of swaps currently and I'm on the outside looking in.. I don't think we all realized how big these 2" letters could be.. the possibilities are endless... thinking for furture..we should divide them up even more! LOL

I don't think I'll be doing the event swap since we don't go to WDW for those events.....am looking forward to the character letter swap though when ever you are ready to start it!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

I would be in for this one for MNSSHP and general Disney Halloween. . .and also maybe Food & Wine Festival, since we'll be there for those on our 2012 trip. The fall start date would work well for me (but let's be honest, I'll sign up whenever! )

I'm also interested in the character letters! Excited for that one!!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Cheryl - what if you switched the two...did Character letter sign-ups in mid-July and the events sign-ups in September. They would probably cross over each other, but you shouldn't need to be swapping them at the same time. Like letters maybe could be due end September or mid-October and the event due beginning November?

My letter swap is about ready to swap out and the Outside swap is also. The Epcot is coming to a close in about 2 weeks. The only other ones going on right now are Character and ABC. I will be getting the AK swap ready in the next couple of weeks, but that will have lots of time. Otherwise, we had no sign-ups in June and not much else in July. Just a thought.

 

[wdwmickey]

I'm definately going to do both. I just need to figure out the timing. I'm overwhelmed with the swaps I'm in.

I have 80 mini-kits to make for the ABC swaps and I haven't even figured out how many things I need to make for the character swap.

At least I'm almost finished with the EPCOT swap

I'll probably leave the sign-ups exactly where they are on the calendar, I think I just need to catch up on my stuff and then I'll feel better about hosting in mid-July Or I may flip-flop them starting with the letters first. I'll post an interest thread for one or the other by July 2nd when I get home from vacation

You could always leace sign ups as they are and push back the due dates so that anyone who is overwhelmed at the moment has extra time to work on them but knows exactly how much they have to do because they'll already have signed up?

The ABC one is a huge swap at the month - I thought I had a lot doing 30 mini kits but 80!!

Ooh, I like this idea Maybe I'll leave sign-ups where they are and extend due dates before the sign-ups start That way there will be no stress.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Just a quick check--are sign-ups for this one still in July? I'm using it as a motivator if they are. . .I have to scrap so much of my stuff before I can sign up!

 

[wdwmickey]

Yep I'm gonna leave it right where it is. I'll post an interest/ideas thread on July 2nd and sign-ups will be on Monday July 11 at 10 am (Eastern time).

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Yay! I'm excited! Now I've got to get my tushie in gear scrapping my other stuff!!

either 10/13 - 10/19 or 10/16 - 10/22 it depends on my friends plans and a special event for their 13 yr old DD....they are going on a MAW trip for their youngest DD...probably won't know our exact dates until Sept.

I forgot you'd be down there....what are your dates???

That sounds like so much fun. I wish I was going back sooner rather than later!
