what about not telling hubby you are saving and then just start socking away bits of cash here & there... take the change from his pants pockets at night... tell him each week you need $$ for this or that and then put it in a drawer or something secretly. If you food shop start buying things that go further for less $$ (hamburgers vs steak, etc..) and make sure you eat all your leftovers so you dont waste food... buy generic brand if possible, then taking what you normally spend on groceries on what your new modified list costs and socking that away as well. I find that if I cut back on my own in places and put the savings in a drawer or piggy bank, it ads up quickly!
How old is your son? Im assuming less than one if this is his first xmas? he won't know or remember and I know you want to make it special but I think when hes 2 would be a better time for Disney with him. He'll be more aware around him and more interactive with things. If you plan for Oct 2008 to go to disney you'll have plenty of time to sock away $$ w/o hubby knowing and then you can surprise him by telling him one day that you booked and paid for the whole trip CASH and he didnt even feel the pain of a budget!!!
Good luck!!!
