Several months before our Disney trip, we let the kids start earning "Disney Dollars". This was going to be their spending money on our trip. They were able to earn money by doing things like chores around the house, reading books, and staying in their beds the whole night! We went to Michael's and bought plain white boxes and some stickers. I let the kids help me decorate the boxes. And then I found some Disney money online (probably the DIS boards) and printed it out.
Here is the money that I used in case you want to print it and use it too...
Most of the chores they did earned them one dollar. Then, when they'd get 5 dollars, they'd trade their 5 $1 bills in for a $5 bill and so on. When it came time for the trip, I went to Target and bought Disney gift cards for the amounts that they had earned. I got them with my Target Redcard because I get 5% off and I doubled it with a pharmacy rewards 5% off card and ended up getting my Disney giftcards for 10% off. I also used this method to buy spending money for the whole trip and was able to save ourselves quite a bit of money!
