My son was bored on Saturday, so he counted all of our loose change that we put into a jug between trips to Disney. When trip time comes, we roll it and cash it in. We got back in October 2002 and have saved $53 in loose change. This got me to thinking--how else do people save their money when they plan to go. Most people plan in advance and begin to save and make sacrifices, but how do you do it? Maybe there is something you are doing that can help me out and vice versa. Here are some things we do.
1. save loose change and roll before we go.
2. put part of every paycheck into a Disney fund. My wife does this and we'll have close to $1000 by the time we go.
3. Income tax refund.
4. I work for a church, so on occasion I will get something for weddings or funerals. I use that money and put into our Disney fund.
What works for you? Most of us are probably not independently wealthy and it takes some savings and budgeting to pull WDW trips off. We all know it's expensive--but worth it! Share your secrets and tips!
