A HECK OF A TRIP-24 MONTH PRE TRIP REPORT UPDATE 4/19/16

I came over here from our November 2017 too. I have enjoyed reading along so far. I feel like maybe I should make one of these. We have yet to book anything, but I have an excel sheet that I crunch numbers on every day. Its getting ridiculous. I'm ready to them to announce what (if any) discounts will be available. Until then...I just crunch them every which way:)
 
PENNY PRESS PALOOZA!
NOTE: this post about brief updates was done prior to me updating the intro above. I left this info as there are comments below referencing it, but basically you can ignore it!
Brief updates….well DH has taken a new job…slightly less pay but better hours and probably less stress. The only downside is no paid vacations for a year…which doesn’t affect our WDW trip in 2017 but does bum us out that we won’t be able to take a vacation this year. We are looking into at least 1 long weekend trip nearby and we have a camper trailer so we will really try to get more camping in this year too!
Anyways on to PTR update…..

PRESSED PENNIES!

DH & CT LOVE THESE! As in they have to hit every single one we pass by. Of course I will print off the list of locations closer to our trip so we can do a scavenger hunt for them.

CT wants one of every single design he sees, DH is ok with just one from each machine. For a Christmas gift I found CT a Donald Duck piggy bank at a yard sale so he can start saving up!

At our house I have decorated an old iphone box in Disney paper & it is our pressed penny box. Qtrs and shiny pennies go in it for our fund. So far we are at around 45 complete sets of Qtrs and Pennies to use in the machines. My goal is to have 100 sets so I’m well on the way, way in advance. But it won’t hurt as much from our budget and it’s fun to save up.

What do you other penny press nuts do? How many do you take? Personal best numbers you've gotten?​

ONLY 711 days to go….haha!

We used old medicine bottles to hold our coins and pennies, they worked out great and could easily be stored in our backpack pockets for easy access.

Yes! I found that tip on another blog and I had a larger antibiotic bottle empty so I cleaned it up and put aside for our pennies and quarters. I plan on making a pretty label for it so it doesn't look so weird.
