Hi my name is Teresa and I am just starting to save for our trip. We are going in about 511 days. We have a family of for. It will be 2 adults and 2 children (12yrs and 13yrs). We plan on staying in the new value resort for 6 days, doing the dinning plan and park hopper. Our budget is $3000. We are also staying at Universal for 3 days. Our budget for that is about $2000. The way that we have saved so far is from having every 2 wks $50 going into a savings account. This savings account is about 30 min drive. We have a total of $100 in there. We also have $25 come out of my husbands each month. We have $25 in that one. So savings of $125 so far. The other ways that we are saving is loose change. With that we put it to a pre-paid visa card. The other way is at work I get a chance to earn visa cards. So right now I have one for $50. I am working up to $1000. That will be our spending money. Hopefully by this web site and support I will have more. Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much Trish. I have been there before. But it was not with my husband or kids. I will be taking the them for the first time. My husband just recently got sick. So it is more important to me then ever to save for this.

Thank you very much. I just added up the amount that I spend on coffee each week. I figured about $4.80 4 times a week. So I just added that amount in my direct deposit. That makes it $90 every 2 wks and $25 once a month. So I hope that I can get it paid off within 8 months. That would be great. Thank you for letting me know that you are here.

It really does. I can't believe the count down to be under 500 days is just around the corner. If next year goes as fast as this year I will be in trouble if I do not stick with my plan.
