Whew! That was quite a title. Hope you got it. We are headed to Walt Disney World (WDW) right after Kyle graduates for a family vacation. Thanks to Kyle's Mom's generosity in sharing with us her time share points, we are going to go for a good price too. But everything in WDW is a little on the pricey side, especially souvenirs. Kyle and I were talking about how we'd like the kids to have money to spend, but we don't want to be dishing out every day. Then my friend gave me a great idea for Disney Dollars. A few tricks on the ol' word processor, some stickers from the dollar store, and 30 fun-filled minutes later, J and H were smiling big about the chance they have to earn some moolah before our trip. They can earn 2 DD/week from Mom and Dad for doing things like practicing piano happily, doing their chores, playing with Kara, working on learning stuff, etc., and if they want to do extra chores they can earn an extra dollar. Right before the trip we'll cash in the DD for the real thing (or for a loaded gift card at the park) and they can go hog wild -- at least until their cash flow runs out. Saturday is Disney Dollar day, when they get to add to their stash. I hope it works! And if anyone needs some little jobs done (trash out on a cold day??) I've got a couple of kids who are willing to work for Disney Dollars.

That's a great idea! We'll have to keep that in mind for when it gets closer to November (that's when we're going). Sure wish we could go together!
I think I've told you about it before, but mousesavers.com has all sorts of ideas for saving money at DW. People send in their tips--like buying a double cheeseburger, then asking for an extra bun (sometimes they charge a little, sometimes not) and all toppings are buffet style, so you save a bundle. We got a lot of great ideas there.
What a fun trip!
