My son has been begging to return to Disney World since out trip in May 2009. It was both of our first times at Disney and we had a blast! As a single mom currently working full-time at a retail store and looking for a job in my field, money is tight. I was very excited when I found Couponing to Disney and all of its available resources. So far, we have saved about $170 since June 1st ($65 from bumming spare change from family members - LOL!) I would like to be able to plan a trip for 2012 - seven days in the parks and AIRLINE TICKETS! That 18 1/2 hour drive killed me last time! Cannot wait!  Trip Dates: Sometime in 2012 Hotel: All Star - Not Sure which Guests: 1 adult, 1 child Park Hopper: Possibly (depends on how many days we stay) Dining Plan: Yes Goal amount: $3,000 by 1/1/2012 Amount saved since 6/3: $170 |

Yay! Very excited... just got hired to help take care of a local woman w some medical needs.. it's $20/visit and I will see her seven evenings a week and 2 mornings... That's $180/wk for the fund! I am considering this FOUND money. I need to crunch some numbers... I may tuck some aside as emergency fund money, but either way, WOOHOO!!! ;D
