Tricia's Disney Fund (Goal: $48/$5000 by July 30)

Yeah, it's ambitious.

We took our first trip to WDW last Sept. and it was such an amazing experience for our family. We thought we'd probably go back in 2-3 years, but we need another dose of magic. Ok....*I* need another dose. I want to go back again this year, and the only way it's going to happen is if I can save/earn enough extra to pay for it.

If anybody's interested in how I'm pulling this off, I'm blogging about it at www.ReturnToDisney.com

I logged into my ING savings account and found almost $40 sitting there! I've had $1 automatic payments set up from our checking account just to keep the savings account active, and it ads up!

Heading to your blog right now!! I love reading how other people save to get to Disney.

Thanks! My initial plan was to ramp up my freelance writing work and pay for the trip that way, but now that I'm reading all the great information here, I'm also adding in some "found money" ideas.

Nothing like double-teaming the savings account

More found money! I just got an email from Paypal that I earned a cash back bonus on my PP debit card. $8 into the Disney fund
