We are definately trying to go with CR. We will book that one first and if we cannot do it we will then, and only then, downgrade. Opened a savings account!!! And the change jar is getting heavier!!


$3,500.00 needed
$ 56.24 saved
$3,443.76 to go

[snowflakegirl]

Emptied the change jar last night ... found another $85 dollars to add to the savings account!

New totals:

Need: $4000.00
Have: $1640.00
Need: $2360.00

Getting there. Slowly but surely. And I just listed the things on e-bay so hopefully there'll be a little more coming in in the next couple of weeks.

So I had been doing really well savings-wise. Had even added another $400.00 to the savings account getting us up to $2000.00 which was the halfway mark and I still had ten months to go! I should have known it was going too well... over the weekend my car died (it was an older car because we had to buy it in a pinch last February when my car died and I was still in grad school, but we were hoping to have it around for another year or so so we could build up a decent downpayment for a new car). It's running VERY temporarilly so now we're looking for a new car for me. We're going to end up having to take the $2000.00 to use as part of a downpayment on something for me now (which hopefully DH is doing as I type this since he and I can't keep sharing his car and I have a 50 minute commute one way to work). So that puts us back at the beginning of our savings ... I'm still going to put down the original numbers, but I'm thinking that it's going to be reassessed and we'll be going on a much shorter trip than originally planned if we do this at all next summer. Keep your fingers crossed for me that things work out on the car that DH is going to get today.

Need: $4000.00
Have: $0.00

I've been saving $20 a week since November of 2004 (I'm about 2 months behind for various reasons) for a trip that will be somewhere around April of 2008. My goal is about $3000, but anything more would be a bonus!

My Goal: $3000
Saved: $1860
Needs: $1140
Behind: $160

Wish me luck!

i'm saving up for my next trip too... and i have a great tip! Just take some sort of container that you can't get into easily (i use a water cooler jug) and at the end of every day put your spare change in it! Just keep letting the change pile up and by the time you are ready to cash in your change for bills, you'll be VERY surprised as to how much money you have! And every week you could even drop a five dollar bill in... may not seem like much, but at the end of a year thats an extra $260! Good luck!

I am going for 15 nights so I am in with this saving club!!! I am going to need a ton of cash!

My airfares are done. They were all on air miles. I have already bought annual passes so that is done. I now need to pay for 15 nights in a value resort so about $1700 (I already have AAA applied to one week....and am hoping for AP Rates so that amount may go down)

I also need spending money. I figure on $150/day for myself and two kids .....man, this is expensive when you add it up. $2250 for 15 days.

Ok....so $3950 is what I need. Wow...what was I thinking? Thanks heavens passes and flights are paid for.

Hmmm.....now what can I sell around here. Kids are in school, wonder what I can find in their rooms

Man, this savings thing is getting tough. DD is still in college so I still hear "Mom. I need money, PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSE." so there went $200. But it's payday, so I'm putting in $100.

DD promiced to give us money when she gets paid...even though I said no, so we'll see what she does. She said she wanted to pay me back, since it's my Disney money and she knows this trip is important to me.(plus she wants me to buy her stuff when we go!!!). Gotta love 'em!!

Final amount: $3400
Current amount saved $735
To Go:$2467

I love this thread. I am planning our next trip, but it will be a doozie... Right now I am adament on staying at the Poly. We usually go for at least 7 nights but I would love to stay longer. We can't go for a while because I am back in nursing school and can't get the time away to go or the time to work to save the money to go. That will come however. The trip is my treat to myself for graduation as well as a treat to my family for putting up with me during the ordeal. As of today here are my stats:

My goal: $5200(dining included)
Saved: $879 cash; $135 Disney Visa Points
Need: $4168 ( )

I need to figure out this selling thing on the internet.

We leave in a week for this year's trip, so that one's covered. In fact, I've got about 250 extra in that account, so I'm hoping to come back with about that much still in there, to start next years vacation savings. Maybe you guys can hold me accountable so I don't overspend on souvenirs and ! I'll let you know in two weeks!

Well, we're back ...and of course we spent a little more than we planned. So now I have $100 left in my vacation fund account. I do have it set up as a "keep the change" account, so it'll accrue a few dollars a week that way, but I doubt I'll be able to add much else to it until after Christmas. My goal is $3200 by next spring for a June 07 trip to California (with a few days at Disneyland and California Adventure of course!). I'll check in periodically....Let's get savin'!!!!!
