My fiance already have honeymoon plans, so we might try to re-create our engagment on Jan 1 09, because we were engaged at the Golden Horseshoe on Jan 1 08! What would you do with $600 to getawaytoday travel?

Originally Posted By mater4 Congratulations! I am with everyone else, Go to DL. I would not wait until next year.

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Congrats!! (On the engagement as well as the trip!) And I agree with traveller, consider it a "bonus" trip in addition to any you might have been planning.
Originally Posted By iamsally When I lived in Hawaii I entered every Disneyland contest I could find. Never won one though. I would use the extra $$$ to upgrade my hotel room and meals. (We always travel on a budget.) However you decide to use it I think it will be great to have that little extra cushion for extra fun.
Originally Posted By ncnike7 That's so awesome! And Getawaytoday is great, we use them all the time. I like gottalove's idea. Think of it as free money and do the resort hotel thing! You are so lucky!
