Ok-we went to Disney in December and had a great time! Our daughter was only 10 months old at the time and of course, didn't realize how much fun we were having:) So we went ahead and booked a summer vacation hoping she'll have a little bit more fun this time! This time it will be me, my husband & our daughter plus my best friend,her husband and their 1 1/2 year old daughter!
Dates: June 4-11
Hotel: All Stars Music, Family Suite
Park Tickets: 6 day tickets,no park hoppers
Dining Plan: Quick Service Dining Plan
Total: $4,159 (must be paid for by 4/20)
**Each couple is paying half, so our total is $2,079**
Amount saved so far: $800
To have our portion of the vacation paid for by the due date of 4/20, we have to put at least $200 per week into the fund. I'm a little nervous..

You can't give pins away because they are attached to your name and address. If you call and price a vacation for June, you will probably get a pin sent to your email or have a postcard sent to your address with a pin on it. This is a deal that is available for your time.
Stay dates: 4/28/11-6/14/11. Get a 15%-35% discount off regular "Rack" rates. Percent off varies by resort type. Use offer code YW3 or TSU. Some dates will be blocked out. Rates not available for all dates and resorts.
Save 15% at All Star Movies
Save 20% at select Disney Value Resorts and Port Orleans French Quarter
Save 25% select Disney Moderate Resorts, Animal Kingdom Lodge and Polynesian Resort
Save 30% at select Disney Deluxe Resorts
Save 35% at select Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts
If you wish, you can add tickets and dining plans to these rates to make a vacation package, but this will cause the offer to fall under the package rules.
You can always call and have a deal added to your package. I hope this helps.

We are making a HUGE deposit today, of $500!!!!! This means we only need an additional $544 by April 20th! Then, I'm thinking we'll need an additional $300 for souvenirs/gifts/etc-what do you think?Here's the breakdown:$100-our utilities were $100 less than we had budgeted for, so we put the difference into the fund. $130-I babysat for a wedding for 7 hours  $30-No dining out this week, put it in the fund $66 Saved at the grocery store from coupons so we put that amount into the fund $10-Saved on my diaper purchase thru Amazon Mom so put $10 into the fund $20-Earned enough swagbucks to purchase 4 Amazon giftcards in the past 2 weeks (will use these to buy diapers & wipes) so we put $20 into the fund $25-Budgeted $25 for toiletries and incidentals for the past 2 weeks but haven't had to buy any (thanks to my stockpile!) so we put it into the fund $119-out of my paycheck (my paychecks are specifically for paying off our van, vacation & building up our emergency fund right now).

Great deposit!!!!! I wish we could make a deposit like that in the near future. We should have our taxes back next week and maybe after we buy new tires for our car and pick up some summer clothes for our kids we can put a few hundred in.
