One of the most frustrating things for folks trying to plan affordable Disney vacations is to work so hard trying to save money on every conceivable aspect of their trip….and then have souvenir buying blow the budget completely.

I talk about just this in my post over at Chip and Co. today: Making Sure Your Disney Vacation Souvenirs Don’t Break the Bank:

“There is a way to combat “buy-me-itis” though…but it involves thinking ahead and planning for souvenirs before you ever leave home. There are a number of ways to make your souvenirs actually quite affordable, and if you can plan your purchases as carefully as the rest of your trip, you may not end up blowing your vacation budget on souvenirs. But ya gotta have a plan!”

You can find the rest of the post right here. Come on over to join us, I’d love to hear your thoughts! 🙂
