We're planning our second WDW trip in early October 2013. Kids are currently 7, 9, and 11. The 7yo is short for her age and needs to grow another 2.5 inches to ride RnR so we're waiting till she is tall enough (I promised we wouldn't go again until she could ride it - shes a roller coaster monster!). And since this will be the last time we can pull the older kids out of school, we want to make sure everyone can ride everything!
Our Budget: (Based on Oct 2012 prices to give us a goal)
$1,350 plane tix and baggage fees
$3,500 Stay at POR and tix (9 day hopper for 5)
$1,300 QS Dinning Plan
$125 Dog Sitter
$450 IOA (gotta see Hogwarts again!)
$325 MNSSHP
$390 Souviners, Misc expenses
$7,600ish Total
$1,864 saved since January 2011 25% of the way there!

New total saved: $1,961.51 25.7% of the way there
Most of my found money is going toward Christmas right now. The little I have saved is directly deposited from my husband's checks.
After Christmas I hope to get back on track saving!

Well, decided this money would be better spent paying off some credit card debt. So the current balance in the fund is $135 from Dream Dollars. When I finish paying off the credit card (by March 1 is the plan) I'll repay some of this before tackling another debt.
