  26. Nancy, great bloging on money saving tips. We are about to get our SouthWest companion ticket, then we plan to use it on our trip to Disney world to spend the New Years Eve of 2015 at Magic Kingdom. This will be our 3rd time of New Year's EVE at Magic Kingdom. Our next goal would be to save and visit Disney world at Paris and Japan. I hope we can achieve that in the next 2 years.

  48. Just read your MMS interview! I can totally identify with your sentiments regarding no access to babysitting. My husband and I haven't had a date night alone in several years and had to skip the honeymoon, too, so that Disney cruise sounds fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing your money saving tips! I just started collecting miles and points this year and would love to take my (frugal) family of 4 to Disney World. I love how my new points hobby gives me, as a stay-at-home mom, the opportunity to contribute financially to my family and enrich our lives! tomorrowtheworld13 at gmail.com
