Ok back to WDW planning! The graduation took my finances to new heights so I'm playing catch up now. I put $450 aside for the park tickets instead of buying all the tickets last week. Didnt pay off PORFQ like I had planned also so I just put $50 on it leaving a $100 balance. Every little bit counts. I waiting on a $160 ebay payment today and will add that to the $450. That will get two tickets shipped. I refuse to do this on cc's so I'm paying everything off before I leave and have my spending money in hand.

Im going to pick up our auto train tickets today.

Can not wait!

Last 2 tickets ordered

All resorts paid for, Auto train paid for, WDW tickets paid for & Universal tickets paid for. Now my goal is to get 10- $50 Disney gift cards, maybe a bank gift Visa with $150 for gas and another $25 resturant card (My son won a gift card in school for $25.

Im so excited to be PAID IN FULL

Congratulations on the progress! You are doing an awesome job.

Doesn't it feel good when everything is paid for before you go, and you don't come home to a huge credit card bill.

BTW, tell your DD congratulations on her graduation (not to mention the sweet new ride)

I am doing a window decoration that I did begin but still have to finish. I have to make t-shirts but I havent bought t-shirts for any of us. I bought some transfer paper but Im sure I'll need more.
It is so hard doing things with a baby because he is always into something or needing my attention.
