I should start a tip envelope! That's a good idea.

This is kind of off topic but if your looking for something to hold you over until your next Disney vacation. I just started reading a book series called Hidden Mickeys. Its a story about these two friends who are doing the Mouse Adventures at Disneyland which is an actual scavenger hunt held in Florida and California every year. They end up finding a journal that Walt hid before he died that leads them on an adventure through his history. The way the author describes things makes you feel like your actually there. An inexpensive way to "visit" Disney as you're building your fund.

There is also another series of books called "Kingdom Keepers". I forget the author at the moment but the books take place at WDW after dark..when the park comes alive!! They are fun and have read a few of them to my 10 year old son! He likes them a lot!

Hi ddrie! I have read a couple of the Kingdom Keepers books as well! You're right they are a fun read too! I actually found the Hidden Mickey series when I was searching amazon for more Kingdom Keepers books.

Thanks Lisa! What a good little girl you have saving up her cans and bottles. That's too bad about your redemption center. I'm pretty excited about our change money as well. We have an empty Utz cheese ball container that's about 2 gallons. Decorated it with disney stickers and pictures and we're going to see if we can fill it up before we dump it in the coinstar to deposit it. I was so bad with the shopping on our last disney trip I really need to make a more solid budget for this one. lol I actually did buy a piar of blue mickey crocs and a t shirt and a bunch of little trinkets gosh you would think i was 6 instead of 26 with my lack of will power. I took a peak at your blog as well. Have fun and Port Orleans we really enjoyed our stay there. Your so lucky you only have 4 months left!!

You're getting there! Good job!
I saw previous posts about Kingdom Keepers. I want to start reading that series. There's also another book I've heard about, Snodgrass Vacation, that's a spoof on Disney World. It's supposed to be really funny, I want to read it!

$5 Amazon gift card from Harris Poll Online. This is a great survey site because you always get at least 30 points for trying the survey. If you complete the full version of the survey you get anywhere from 100 to 300 points. cash out for the $5 amazon card is only 800 points.
$5 That we saved on our grocery trip from using coupons. This could have probably been higher but I try to only use coupons for things we would have bought anyway.
$32.70 paypal deposit from TreasureTrooper.com. This is one of my favorite sites! They have 7 surveys that you can do each day along with tons of free offers you can sign up for as well as cash clicks and cash tasks. They have treasure hunts and contest each month.
