earning disney dollars

Published Jul. 17, 2008

Were are going to Disney World in September for 9 days and wanted a way to put a limit on souviners for our son. Hubby came up with a great idea of our son earning Disney Dollars for chores and good deeds around the house, what ever he earns he takes and spends how ever he wants (given that we would purchase the autograph book, and a pair of ears), and when he is out, he is out. Our allotments for chores is kind of high (because we knew how much we wanted to give him, and we only have x weeks until trip). It has worked out great! I have not fed our cats in 3 weeks and his room has stayed clean. I will let you know how it works when we get back in the end of Sept.

poor denverbob234, no concpet of capitalism...

If the kid earns the money, it's his and he can do with it as he dang well pleases...unless some liberal gets to it first.

You don't provide an opportuntity for your kids to earn but tell them how much of someone else's (yours in this case) money they allowed to have or just simply give them nothing.

And that my freedom loving friends is liberalism in a nut shell.

OH, congrats on the trip. :) Have a Wonderful time.

Something our family does when we go down is take pics with cell phones of things we really want..of course we can't buy everything, nor should we. But sometimes when you get home from a vacation you really wish you'd picked up that certain something there and didn't. Well with Disney World you can actually call them after you get home and tell them about *example a beach towel at the Emporium...describe it and they will mail it to you. I always save some of the pics and secretly order them for Xmas and birthday gifts later that fall. The kids love the fact that they've gotten something from Disney 3 mos. after vacation.

Geez, have you ever thought about being an adult and telling he child how much he can spend. Unless you are like most parents today and don't have the nads to tell their kids "NO". It is pretty easy, unless you don't have a spine

Good job (pun intended). As you've noticed this profit motive has given hin a new sense of responsibility (at least between now and when you get back).

120 to spend for a week I think is paying way good. This is our last blow out vacation before hubby deploys and we are sparing no expense! Even a week out of school too..

Hope you pay well so he don't up with some mouse ears and a Goofy mug...

that's a great idea.

He would claim he does, but I guarentee you will NOT be satisfied with the results.

If he knows how to wash clothes and clean the bathroom, I'll add to the fund.
