New here and first trip to Disney

[emandmeagsmom]

Hi all Im new here and just starting saving for our disney trip. My daughter will be graduating high school May 2012 so we are going to go then. Both my girls have been through a lot in the past couple of years so we all deserve to go on a trip. It will be me, my hubby, my daughters 17 and 14 and my grandson who will be 2 1/2 when we go. I have a lot of stuff to put on Ebay, especially his old clothes.
Right now we have about 200 saved. We have a water jug and we have been putting change in it for the past 9 months.

Welcome! You are going to have a blast at Disney. It sounds like you are off to a good start - What is your ultimate goal?

Im thinking 4000.00 to be on the safe side.

$200 is a great place to start! You're going to love it... make sure when you make your reservations that you tell them your going for any and all celebrations (graduation, birthdays anniversary, 1st trips ect)

change really adds up quickly also if you have random dollar bills hanging around from having broken a large bill pop those in there as well (like if you broke a 10 and you have a 5 and 3 ones put 2 of those ones in there that adds up really quick!!)

Good luck!!! You'll have to let us know where you plan on staying and when your going ect!

Happy Saving! I am always amazed at how quickly it can add up and I find all kinds of ways to save when I really try!! Great start. ☺

My daughter and I counted the change jar and it had 153 in it so that is starting amount. My brother and his family just got back from their first trip and they had a blast. My neice was able to be at Magic Kingdom on her birthday so she was excited about it.
