DH and I have been saving our change for our Disney vacation in May. We already turned it in once and bought $60 worth of Disney Dollars for food. Well, we saved again and I just rolled all of our change and we have $61! In addition, my dad bought us each 10 scratch off lotto tickets as stocking stuffers. Although Jeremy didn't win anything, I won $19! Fast forward to the end of the football season...Jeremy and I had entered a football pool for fun. There were about 20 participants and we didn't know anyone except the guy running the pool. Well, we just found out that Jeremy took first place and I took second, netting a grand total of over $120!! :bounce:

So now we are able to send a $200 payment in to CBR...that will pay for more than one night of our seven-night stay! It may seem like a lot of work to go through, but with me not working a regular job right now, I'll pay for our trip in any way I can! 8)

Congrats on your "winnings" and good job with saving. I started saving change - with the odd paper bill thrown in here and there - for my next trip while I was on my last trip to WDW. No idea how much I have now but I can't wait to find out!

Hope you get some more "found" money before your trip!

JennyAnne,

Thats AWESOME!! And trust me, I can understand. With the threat of my Dh not having a contract, I cannot plan a vacation until we are sure he will not be on strike. So, I am trying to figure out how to save extra...or make more money. :lol: I want to plan NOW! :rofl: Every litle bit helps, and it is a nice feeling to know your getting more of it paid off bit by bit. Keep on saving!

Don't ya just love "found" money?? I love it when I find a five dollar bill in a pocket or an old purse.
Hey it all adds up!
