Have mercy! So now my husband has decided he wants to go "as soon as possible" AND "stay for 10 days." Talk about budget-busting!
I got a quote today for $3500 for 10 days in May.... so with extra costs (meals not covered on dining plan, gas money, souvenirs), I'm thinking my $5000 budget estimate is pretty close!
I better hurry up with my savings!!! LOL

Mollybug -
In the past, I have entered sweepstakes and contests online as a sort of hobby. Over the past year, I've won a couple of shelves full of books, CDs and DVDs. I finally got around to listing all of them on Amazon within the past 2-3 weeks and I'm really surprised at how fast they've sold!

Deposit today:
They shorted me 16 hours on my last paycheck, so they cut me another/extra check yesterday to make up the difference. Since I've already paid all my bills out of my last "short" check, I'm just going to deposit this one as extra money:
$404.83
New total - $1626.27

Well, change of plans... Guess I'm no longer couponing-to-Disney but couponing-to-the-Grand... My mom announced to me that they'd like for all the family (my parents, my brother and his wife/kids and myself/my hubby/kids) to go on a trip together this year. We went to "the Grand" resort - my parents' fave vacation spot - last year as a family (sans my brother and his wife) and we had such a great time that the parents wanted to go back.... My parents paid for the whole trip last year but I plan on paying our portion this year.. so there goes a large portion of the Disney savings and the plans for the Disney trip... It's all good though because we'll still have a GREAT time and we'll just move our Disney saving/planning to late this fall or next spring instead! I'm still going to keep up with my savings here, though!
