We are saving for a hopeful return to Walt Disney World trip in 2012. We are expecting our first baby in September 2011 so a trip this year has not been able to come true. We've also experienced lay offs in our family, so times are hard. I (Krystal) used to be a Cast Member at Walt Disney World from 2005-2006 and Jesse (husband) and I love it there! Jesse proposed to me in front of Cinderella's Castle in 2008 and in 2009 we spent our Honeymoon there. Now we hope to return and even though the baby will be young, bring him or her along for the magic. We've even thought about moving back to Florida with this money, perhaps. We hope to raise $2,500 to cover a stay at a Moderate Resort (CBR perhaps) or Pop Century Package, flights, and entertainment costs while there. We've brought out the 5 gallon water jug labeled "Florida Fund" and are starting by putting extra change and broken $5's, $10's, etc. inside. Here's hoping for the best!!

Thanks gals!! Good luck to each of you as well. Added $38.50 to the Fund today via change around the house, in purses used in the past and wallets. Did some research via pricing this year and staying at POP for 6 Days, 7 Nights with the Quick Service Dining Plan (love ADR's but thinking with a little one Quick Service may be a better idea), and Roud Trip Flights we're sitting just about $2300. We are going for a goal of $2500 right now and may up it to $2800 or so for play money. We'll stick to $2500 for now though until we hit Jan 2012 and see how for we get.

Thanks saving4wdw! I was also Spring Advantage Attractions (American Adventure) from 2005-2006. Some of the best days of my life. Added $10 from savings on coupons yesterday. We're at $48.50.
