We're using a popcorn bucket from our May '10 trip. It's got Mickey wearing the director's costume, I picked it up at Hollywood Studios on our second day because I realized already that our "once in a lifetime" trip was NOT going to be once in a lifetime! 
My "share" of the savings is that every day I bring my lunch/breakfast to work instead of eating out, I put $5 in it. My goal right now is $50 a month, which means I'm bringing my lunch half the time. I know I can do better than that, but that's what I needed to hit my goal for our planned 4/2012 trip.
(We won't go until we've saved up to pay for the trip in cash, we don't put anything on the credit cards other than emergencies that are immediately paid off out of general savings.)
It is sitting on our mantle next to a photoframe of DH, DD, my MIL, SIL and BIL in front of Cindy's Castle.
My daughter is going to put 1/2 of any babysitting money she earns in it, and my husband is doing his own savings plan.
(Also, I asked for $ from my husband to go into the Disney Fund Bucket rather than a present for my birthday this year, because I don't need more STUFF, but I do need to go to Disney again!)

so it's about 19 years old) I took a Disney brochure and cut out a bunch of images that were special to us for that trip and made a collage by gluing the pictures all over the jug. Must have been some glue! 19 years later and 90% of the images are still on there. We have used the jar for our last 2 trips as well as other vacations. There are pictures of Caribbean Beach resort where we would stay for our honeymoon, Mouse ears with 1992 on it, Our names cut out of letters from the brochure, pictures of each park, pleasure island, typhoon lagoon, a bottle of champagne, a couple walking in the sand at sunset, etc.
