Paying for Disney souvenirs with pennies a day

Souvenir shopping is one of my all-time favorite activities, especially at my happy place, but Disney souvenirs can be VERY expensive.  To help with costs, we started saving our pennies and all of our extra change goes towards our souvenirs, but saving without a plan can be unfruitful, so we created a modified savings plan.

There are lots of ways to budget and save, but I’ve found that this is the one our kids love to use.  First, we have a “Wish Fund” jar and a general penny fund.  I collect whatever spare change we have and place in general penny fund to start the process.  For instructions on how to create your own “Wish Fund” jar, read my previous post here.

I then created a spreadsheet starting at 1 penny, then adding a penny per day for 365 days of the year (day 2=$.02, day 3=$.03, up to $3.65 for the last day of the year).  I created 3 columns (one for each month per quarter) and had 4 pages total.

The bladder is composed generic viagra rx of hollow container made of smooth muscle. Pre-event sports massage can alleviate stiffness and improve relaxation in the discount generic viagra massaged area.
It’s easy to start with any spare change you have, but the harder part comes as the year goes on.  To help with the ‘larger’ savings, I would add any extra funds from our budget starting from the end of the list.  For example, if I had an extra $20, I would subtract $3.65, then $3.64 and so forth, with $1.85 leftover (place this in your general penny fund).  I highlight each day of savings, so I don’t lose track, and my kids love to see if we can ‘get ahead’ throughout the year.

If you stick to adding WITHOUT subtracting any funds, then you’ll have over $600 dollars for your souvenirs!  I like to give the kids a certain dollar amount per day for souvenirs and allow them to budget their money to get the items they want.  Once their souvenir money is assigned, I use the rest for our ‘snacking’ fund and don’t feel guilty about getting my daily Dole Whip fix.

Have fun exploring the World!

How to plan a trip to Walt Disney World

I’m frequently asked where to begin when planning a trip to my favorite place, so it’s time to write it all down for you 🙂

Photo credit: Disney

Step ONE in planning a trip to the World is getting a FREE Disney Parks DVD.  When you order the DVD, you will also get online access to the same DVD footage, so you can start your planning right away.  If this is your first trip (or maybe your fifty-ith) you may want to consider working with a knowledgeable travel agent.  I frequently plan my own trip, however, on occasion it is nice to give someone else your details and let them take care of the rest.  There’s no additional cost for you and plenty of great benefits such as knowing my agent can make all kinds of changes to my reservation if necessary.

Step TWO is deciding what time of year works for your schedule.  Each time of year has its own pros and cons.  January used to be a pretty light month, however if you are going during Marathon weekend, a RunDisney event, expect summertime-sized crowds.

February is a good choice, but park hours may be limited and there may be more refurbishments happening during this month as they ramp up for summer.  March is busy most of the time due to Spring Break, which happens almost every week with people from across the US.  April is surprisingIy busy due to Easter holidays and the Flower & Garden Festival, but still less busy than the summer months.

Psoriasis disease female generic viagra deeprootsmag.org victim’s person’s skin swollen, flaky, rude – split into appears dry. Prescription Drugs Can Influence deeprootsmag.org buy levitra on line Ability To Perform in bed.
May is the start of summer season, but you can still get around the World without too much difficulty.  June through August is pretty nutso.  I personally hate going in the summer due to the excessive heat and incredible crowds, however it works for my family due to the kids’ school schedule, so we make do.  September is one of my favorite times, but expect frequent rain showers and there is always the possibility of hurricanes.  October and November are my absolute favorite months to travel to WDW because of the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and the International Food & Wine Festival.

  

We also got married at WDW in November, so I’m definitely partial to going during November.  December is absolutely heavenly with the decorations and wonderful Christmas treats.

Check out my next post for Step THREE (where to stay) and Step FOUR (create a plan).

Have fun!

Disney Dream Cruise: Meeting the Characters

When I graduated from college, I treated myself to a cruise with my good friend, Karrie. At that time, Disney didn’t have its own cruise line, but there was an option for coordinating a Carnival cruise and days at the World. The cruise was ok, but definitely not something I truly enjoyed or planned to do again. Nearly 20 years later, I had the opportunity to cruise again, this time with my family on Disney Cruise Line.

Disney Dream

There was definitely a difference, as noticeable as night and day.  I LOVED cruising with Disney and look forward to doing it again.

My youngest was excited to meet Captain Jack Sparrow, however we missed him on our first day at Castaway Cay due to weather issues.  She was extremely disappointed and worried that we might not meet him at all.

While we were waiting onboard to meet Aladdin, a cast member asked if she had met all the characters she was looking for.  As she explained that she couldn’t find Jack, the cast member asked for her name and told her to look for him the next day on the dock.  She was ecstatic and could hardly sleep.

Early the next morning, we were one of the first people off the ship so she wouldn’t miss Captain Jack.  He called her by name as he came traipsing over the hill and said, “I heard you were looking for me!”  Then he spent 10 minutes in conversation with her and it became the highlight of her trip.

Of course, I met my favorite character in the Port before we ever boarded the ship 🙂

Soarin’ Around the World

Walt Disney World Photo Gallery Disc
There are 4 parks at Walt Disney World in Florida and my favorite is Epcot. The best attraction at Epcot (in my humble opinion) has been Soarin’ Over California (also known as Soarin’). The attraction has recently undergone some revamping to increase the capacity by adding an additional theatre and updating the movie to (insert drum roll here)…Soarin’ Over the World. This will show at Epcot and Disneyland.  Shanghai Disney will show Soarin’ Over the Horizon.

Disney Pumpkins & Fall Decor

Yesterday was the first day of Fall.  This is one of my favorite times of the year and always look forward to the day that I can finally pull out my Fall Disney door decoration (please excuse the old door).  The pumpkin has a removable layer to display the Jack-‘o-lantern underneath, but I usually leave it covered until Halloween day.

Fall Door Decoration

And before you ask, I purchased this MANY years ago (before I ever owned a home of my own) at a Disney store outlet, so I doubt it is still available for purchase.  But it is my favorite Fall decoration, and I love pulling this out of the closet each October.  When I see this, it reminds me of cooler weather (even though it may be 100 degrees outside) and also has the BEST character, Sorcerer Mickey (of course, his real title is the Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey, but it gets shortened ALOT).

To go with my favorite door decoration, we also love to carve pumpkins (and roast the seeds…YUM!).  We’ve tried cutting, painting and light bright pegs, but for all of these you need to start with a great design and stencil.  I’m not great at freehand, so I really LOVE when someone makes my life easier by sharing their templates.
