How do you pay for your WDW trips?

[TandyR]

I am a stay at home mom so my husband is the only one who gets paid for his work. What we do is not claim all our exemption on his paycheck so we get a nice size refund to spend on a vacation and stuff like that. I know we could save it in a savings account and get intrest, but I like not being able to even touch the money in any way shape or form.

We also make sure we have enough set aside for our trips before we go. Then we put the room, passes, rental car & airline tickets on the credit card because we get mileage points.

We accumulated enough mileage to get 5 frequent flyer tickets & are surprising our kids with a trip in Nov.

We then take Disney $'s & traveler's checks for souvenirs & meal money. Anything we come home with we put back in the bank for the next trip.

Seawitch, Can you tell me about giftcertificates.com and have you used them a lot? Have you ever had any problems with them and how long does it usually take to recieve them by mail?? We are going to DW the first of Oct. and will be on a tight budget, but would like a nice sitdown lunch/dinner once a day. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, didn't see your post until today.. I have used them quite a bit. Actually just ordered again on Monday and got them today. I have had no problems with them and have probably ordered about 15 different times (I also have order GC's for a giveaway at work) and have always received the GC within a couple of days.
And if you catch GC.com when they have a promo going on, you can get more bang for your buck.

For our WDW trip, I ordered the GC good for RainForest Cafe. We also ordered a few of the Q&C vouchers from Connections that we will try out during our next trip as well.
