Right now I have been losing an average of 3 per week and hubby has been losing 2-3 per week. So far together we have lost 28! Of course right now I am putting half of the money into the debt free fund. If I continue to lose 3 a week I will have lost a total of 126 (which is close to my goal)!! That's $63 just for me!!!

Been a while since I update! Have made 2 deposits totaling $79. $11 for weight loss, $20 payroll deduction, and $48 in coupons. Since we paid off one loan two weeks ago we are now going to take that money and apply toward other payments. So now everything that I save is going to go to our Disney fund!!!
New total - $196

That is great! Congrats on the weight loss and for being able to put more in the Disney fund. It must have felt SO good to pay off the one loan already!

I am new to this whole "Couponing to Disney" thing. However, I've been trying to get in the groove of things. Recently a family member gave me a new coin purse...just a little thing that I can fit in the palm of my hand. I decided to only start spending bills and placing all the change in that little tiny purse. That money goes directly to my savings account now. Today I went to the bank and cashed it in. I had only been saving it for around 2 weeks and it was $18.97!!! I couldn't believe it! I thought it was awesome. I'm not necessarily saving for a Disney trip, but one of these days I'm sure it will benefit me. Thanks for all your tips and great ideas!

Great job! I am going in October also (that's the plan anyway) and am DYING for the specials to come out. I hope that it is soon, hoping to book in April. I would love free dining. Crossing my fingers that we both get a great deal!

I need some suggestions.....we have done several Character meals over the many years we have gone to WDW. We have been to both breakfast and supper at 1400 Park Fare and Chef Mickey's. We have also done breakfast at Animal Kimgdom when it was located at Restarantosaurs. We did breakfast at O'Hana when we went in December. We have also done the Sci-Fi Theater and 50's Prime Time Cafe at Hollywood Studios.
Anybody got any ideas on where we can go that will be different besides the Castle? We will have a party of atleast 5 and possibly 8.

Our favorite was the pooh breakfast in magic kingdom, Crystal Palace, the characters were great and the food was good too.
