Our 2009 Trip to Walt Disney World
At the beginning of 2008, I made the resolution to become more dedicated to using coupons. I actually stuck to that resolution and by the end of the year I had saved well over $5000 by using coupons. We found a buy 4 days, get 3 days free coupon for Disney World and we decided we could afford to take our family to Disney NOW instead of later.
The cost for a trip for a family of 4 (2 adults, 1 child, 1 infant) was $2100. That included 9 nights at the Disney Resort, Pop Century, 8 days of Park Hopper tickets, and the Dining Plan (1 Table Service, 1 Counter Service, 1 Snack a day). After gas, food and souvenirs our trip total came to just shy of $2500. Less than half of the money I had saved using coupons!
I've written a lengthy report of our trip and I have post dated it on the blog.
You can go here and read about that fabulous trip!
I LOVE this idea Kristin and have decided to try this as well. I'm thinking I will use our Money Market account to put the funds in for the Disney trip. I just started couponing in April and have save a lot of money thus far. I've been blessed to, at times, pay for our groceries with the change in my pocket! When we get more change and unexpected funds I will be adding some to our newly dubbed account. Thanks for the inspiration!

Are you going to keep this up after your Disney trip?
Yes. There will always be another trip to save for. :) We plan to go at least once a year.
