Disneyland on a budget! Any suggestions?

[MaxedOut]

I've never been to Disneyland but I'm sure its the same as Disneyworld. I use to work there years ago and just a few years ago we took our son and prices have sky rocketed 5.00 for a bottled water, that crazy. Best thing for in the park is one of the little coolers with the shoulder strap. Pack bottled water juice pouchs goldfish you can even make little sandwichs since its a cooler bag.

Hope this helps a little

How long have you been in Chapter 13? Did you already pay for the trip before you had filed?

Wierd, I thought it it was DW, I am reading about things "across the street" and saying "wha?". Oh well, that is just how our minds work.

I wanna go

I want to go to Disney world so badly that I lied to my husband and told him I already booked it and we have to save at least $100 a month. (booked it from 2 years from now). He was obviously upset with me and I kept up the lie only for about 20 minutes. Then when he said, "I wish you would have discussed this with me first" I told him the truth. Which, actually is that he sucks at saving money and will buy his "wants" instead of actually save for a vacation which will cause us to never be able to afford to go. Sad, but true. So we talked about it for a while and I have convinced him. He still isn't thrilled with the idea but I told him that he won't even notice the money missing because I'm saving up for it now rather than wait until the last minute.

For the people that have been there many times, do you find it cheaper to buy in advance and make payments gradually over time, or cheaper to save up all the money and get a booking in a short amount of time? (meaning book now and pay over time or try to catch those "last minute deals?"
