After a wonderful two week stay at WDW we are home and ready to start saving again for our next trip in October!!! We will be leaving on Oct. 27th and will return on October 31st. This time we will be staying with friends at Bay Lake Towers at the Contemporary Resort. Since our annual passes will still be good all we have to save is for our expenses. I am also starting a fund to help us get some of the stupid money mistakes we made early on in our marriage paid off. My plans are to take half of what I save and put into our Disney fund and put the rest into our debt free fund. Right now our fund sits at $12.00. I am not setting a goal and just plan to let it grow and see how far I can take it.

Good luck! I saved for a trip for just my 6 year old daughter and me, and funded it entirely with SMALL deposits and was shocked at how easy it was. Now I am saving for a family trip for the four of us, it will take more money, but I know I can do it... You can do it, too!!!

Awesome idea to put in $1 for every pound lost! I may try that, too! Congrats on breaking $100!
