ok now I am in the mood to share my $$ saving tips. I can feed my family of four on 50.00 a week. Shop at Aldi and forget most of the meat, it isn't that great for you neways. Make nachos, and tacos strech the hamburger!! Make Spagetti w/out meat, make big subs with homemade bread. You can make a loaf of french bread for like .25. Get a 1/2 ham and use 1/2 for subs and cube up the rest for ham and scalloped potatoes, shred your own cheese. Borden has their block cheese 1.50. you get the hint. My kids arent even close starving, quite the opposite. I make rice krispe treats homemade for snacks, and buy cheap snacks at Aldi. Make Koolaid, and drink Water, it is good for you sometimes I drink 120 oz or more H2O a day it won't kill you. I buy all my work shirts at Good will for like .25 a piece, and buy our nice outfits at Old Navy. I buy alot of other name brand clothes too AE, Abercrombie, but I only use them for good and use the goodwill stuff for work and play. Instead of going to the movies we do Netflix 20.00 a month and if you watch one every night and put it in the mail every morning you can get on a rotating schedule and get a new one everyday. Cut the cable, netflix has season episodes of all the good tv shows. Nix the internet for a few months if you have to. Clean with bleach or Ammonia an mix it with water {not eachother in case everyone doesn't know that is a big huge no no}, saves you on your cleaners. I could go on for hours. Just save some money doing those kind of things. I realized a long time ago food doesn't make you happy, I feed my kids a ton of healthy food, and alot of snacks too, but I can do it pretty cheap, and have more money for other stuff. My 7 yr old loves veggies so we are planting a garden this year, we just moved into a bigger place, i bought a ton of seed for practically nothing. We should be able to get a ton of awsome food from it. And it is a good family activity, and a good learning one too. Sorry I am a Veggie freak and kind of a hippy. Cant help it. 
Fruit and veggies are way too expensive in the stores, I buy alot of bannanas and apples, and Avacado because it is cheap I make Guacamole all the time the kids love it. They think they are eating slime

Please don't give up hope. The money is out there. I am also the coupon queen. You still have time to make it up! Good Luck
. DH and I have discussed our trip and our budget a million times and it pretty much comes down to we know we have a little money right now, we know we can get off for vacation this year, and there is always going to be something that we need to spend money on. I am super excited too because we have talked a little more about specifics of the trip and it looks like I will get what I want for what he wants to spend so that is great. As of right now we are spending 7 nights at ASMo with 7 day tickets with water parks (might wait and add that at the parks). We are doing the DDP because we can't do CS all week and leaving property takes too much time. We are driving because we can't commit to plane tickets for other reasons but I've been planning on driving for awhile so it works out. Oh, and as of yesterday, it looks like I am even taking a mini trip to Disney with my sister, after I figure out how much that will cost and how I will come up with that money without taking away from our June trip or the familys budget. But again, thanks everyone for your ideas and advice. I guess now I have to go work out specifics and work on packing lists
