This first featured inspirational story comes from my friend Danni:
I owe alot of how I started to you. I was turning 40 this year and all last year i kept telling my hubby we were going to Disney when i turned 40, wasn’t sure how but determined to go. So i got on the computer last October and started looking for ways to save. I just googled “Couponing to Disney” and your site came up. I looked at it and thought well if i keep her site and watch the sells then maybe I would get there. I started going to your site regularly. Mostly went to Walmart and Target. Then I watched your videos on Cvs and Walgreens. So I decided how to teach myself those stores. Once i learned the game i became addicted. Over the course of the year you and other bloggers such as Couponingtodisney.com, Dealseekingmom.com, Couponkatarina.com, Savingabundle.com and Mymemphismommy.com were the sites I checked on a daily basis, I then added a few more but not many. If I hadn’t googled couponing to disney last year i probably never would have started the coupon game! I was fan 800 and something when i found your site last year. I’m excited to still be checking out your site this year.
Here is a pic of my hubby and I with Goofy at Disne:
We will probably save and go every 2-3 years (we don’t have kids) not sure what our next trip adventure will be yet but we are saving. I have a feeling next year we really are going to be saving for floors and tree cutting more than anything.
If you are “Couponing to Disney” or “Couponing to Whatever“, and you have an inspirational story to share, please post it below or feel free to email it to me. I would love to feature it on Couponing to Disney!

Way to go Danni… keep on saving. I love this site as well. I haven’t used my savings for a trip but I did use my savings for a down payment on my new home. Now I’m using all of my savings to build up my savings account for whatever it is we decide to use it for. By the way, I had a great trip to Target yesterday….lots of Tums for the hubby and plenty of treats for the kitties and a very good deal on the soy sauce we use alot.

I love this story too. It is awesome that you are showing us how to save money. I did the grocery game for a while but I’m excited to find all the deals you find without having to pay the 1.50 a week. More disney found money.
