Got to Hollywood Studios at 8:10 am. Jason was 3rd in line for the Toy Story Fastpass and then we rode it. By the time we got off at 9:25 the line was 60 min and the fastpass was for 12:20 and there were over 100 people in line to get one!

July 8th, is Cow Appreciation Day and Chickfila is giving away a free combo (breakfast, lunch or dinner!) to anyone who dresses like a cow!
If you are fully dressed as a cow from head to toe, you can pick either an adult or a kids meal for free!
If you are partially dressed as a cow (such as a vest, hat or purse), you can get an entree for free.
Chickfila even provides free printable cow pieces and parts on their website! In 2009 we printed out the pieces and put them on and then drew spots on us with a black washable marker. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all when we went and they even took a complimentary picture for us!

O’Charleys – Get a $5/$20 purchase when you join their email club
On the Border – Free Bowl of Queso or Sopapillas when you join club Cantina
Orange Julius – Join the Quench club and get a coupon emailed to you for a FREE 20 oz. Julius drink or fruit smoothie!

Be sure to let me know if any of the above offers have changed!

Grow Your Fund is a daily post that gives you a chance to win prizes by checking in on all the various challenges you are participating in. You can choose to participate in one, two or even all of the challenges giving you even more opportunities to Grow Your Fund!
No Dining Out: The concept is simple, lower your family’s dining out bill and add the money you save to your fund.
Minniemizing for the Mouse: Get in shape for your trip to Disney by walking at least 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week. The average person walks 8 or more miles a day at Disney World. Your feet will thank you!
Not going to Disney? Don’t worry. You can participate too. Just commit to working out at least 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week!
Budget Challenge: Can your family stay on budget this month for groceries, entertainment, dining, etc? Do you think you could even challenge yourself not to spend a dime 5 days this month? Be sure to report on your spending vs your budget every day. The goal is to be able to add the extra money saved at the end of the month to your fund!
*If you haven’t set a budget yet, you might want to check out this post.
Decluttering Challenge: Is your stuff starting to overtake your house? Do you feel like your kids room is full of too much junk and not enough fun? If so, I challenge you to find a new home for just 25 items a day for the next 30 days. This could be 25 articles of clothing, 25 books you no longer read, 25 toys your kids ignore. Have a box for items to donations, a box for items to sell and throw the rest away! At the end of the challenge, have a yard sale and add the earnings to your fund!
At the end of each month, I will pick FOUR winners who will each receive $25 to add to their fund. Look for the winners to be announced on the 3rd of each month.
Leave a comment with the title of the challenges it is for. You can participate in one, two, three or even all four challenges. There will be one winner per challenge, and winners can win multiple times! It’s all done by using Random.org, so if your number comes up and you are eligible, you win!

Bethany sent this in from when they were at Disney 2 years ago, after her husband showered and put on his shirt- the water left a mark!
This is how Lauren’s dogs pushed their food bowls when eating- she put them down farther from the water bowl!
