A question for the Budget Board - Page 4 - The DIS Discussion Forums

Maddle · 10-19-2012, 01:00 AM

I like the Budget Forum exactly the way it is. I don't think we need subforums.

Thank you for asking for our input.

Right now, I think this board needs a subforum just for Christmas gifts - with one thread for each age/group.

Most of those threads - and there are quite a few - aren't even about budget. They're just "what should I buy?" or "what are you buying?".

Thanks for all your help these past years!

Here is the evolution of this board from the Early Days till now and why it is what is now.

It start as a way to learn about pinching every penny out of Mickey that you could save. Then it went from saving to how to scam every penny out of Disney. That was Aggrievedly Frown on to the point of flaming. Mod's then suggested the board switch to ways to save money at home that all board member could use. Hence the Target sale, saving at Walmart, Dollar Store, and Saving on Gift giving sales, then Black Friday, and Black Savings Day Etiquette, Cyber Monday Sales, and now Small Store Hometown Saturdays. The budget Board helps find new washer, dryers, freezers, refrigerators, down to shoes for the kids on sale, to save those pennys for Disney Trips for every budget!!!

We do worry about our DIS friends, in storms, sickness, the dreaded Disney Trip Cancellations, we send prayers, pixie dust magic, and our friendship.

WE welcome new DIS'ers and Returning DIS'ers, we share our experience, how we saved up, what deals to look,and. how to save while at Disney Parks.

If there HAS to be a sub-board Please make it a Disney Trip Savings Budget, That would split whose looking just for Trip Savings and give them what they want.

I do not want a Community Board. I'm always planning a trip, so I never go to any of the Community Boards on the DIS.

I don't really care if the non-budget threads went to the current community board or to a new budget community board. But, I would like to see this forum be just budget related threads.

I loved this board in the beginning, but it strays so far from the topic on so many levels I seldom visit and when I do, I seldom find "budget" info. I am a DVC member who while not on a thight budget since the kids are grown and we are blessed with a good retirement, however, I have always been frugal and love frugal ideas for both disney and general life planning. Using those ideas we have added so many special things to our trips like birthday fireworks crusies and outstanding events some that are no longer available. Planning and savings tips are the best!

For WDW and Disneyland DEALS I always to www.MouseSavers.com. I can work out my own budget from those deals.

Airfare - has board
park passes - www.MouseSavers.com -AAA
hotel - has a board - www.MouseSavers.com -AAA - Entertainment Book
ground transport - has a board
food costs - you know your own needs
and souvenirs - you can set your own limits

usually for 1/2 the cost of booking thru Disney reservations

I think it is very similar here to the disunplugged board. People have gotten to know each other and if they post to the reg. community board it gets lost amongst all the other posts. Also many people tend to stick to certain boards and do not look at the others. I know I do not look at the general community board very often. It is much easier to connect with people that you have gotten to know on the board that you always communicate on.

While, I don't think there is a specific site to get thirty one bags cheap... I know that hosting a party can get you some awesome free stuff. I hosted one last June and got 200 pucks in free stuff 3 free hostess exclusives and 3 half price items...

Also they have an outlet sale 2x a year. Find a local consultant in your area.

Their backs are amazing!!! I have one for almost every use and function
