Enjoyable days disposing of core reserves? (5)

I believe the answer is:

funds

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'core reserves?' is the definition.
'funds' can be an answer for 'reserves?' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'core' bit.

'enjoyable days disposing' is the wordplay.
'enjoyable' becomes 'fun' (fun means enjoyable or pleasing).
'days' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for days).
'disposing' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fun'+'d'+'s'='FUNDS'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for funds that I've seen before include "Available cash" , "Liquid assets" , "Finances" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
