So who is using their $600 economic stimulus check to plan a trip?
My wife and I, if all goes according to plan, should be getting one of those economic stimulus checks from the IRS for $1200. It is already spent. We figured the best way to stimulate the economy was to plan a trip to Disney World! What better way to "help" out the slowing economy than to put that cash right back into circulation?
Has getting this check prompted anyone else to plan a trip?
In need of a Disney World fix really bad.

I planned my trip long before they announced the economic stimulus checks, but that money will be set aside to be used for meals and spending money during our trip.

RIght after we submitted our taxes, they came out with the FD offer.
Well, my little single money that I'll get, plus my refund, will now pay for a trip for my parents and I for FREE DINING!
I'm stimulating the economy!

I was actually planning on using it as extra money for our June trip, but then decided it was best not to. We will probably choose to use ours for usual and customary expenses like utilities, food and GAS!!! But our trip has been planned for a while anyway.
If I can work it out and hold onto that money longer than imagined, I'll use it to take my younger DS back in Aug. for his birthday, just the two of us... Hopefully, by then I will have taken my board exams, passed and working so it won't be as big of an issue.

We also had a trip planned before we found out about the money but we will use it to help with the expenses of the trip. We didn't change any aspect of our trip based on getting that money either - no hotel upgrades, no dining plan added in, and we're still driving instead of flying.

Our trip was also planned before the money was announced. I'll use it to pay for expenses and dental work.

We already had our trip bounced back from last September, but this will cover the airfare!
-
We also booked on a bounce-back last September, so we would have gone anyway, but we are using our $1800 stimulus for vacation costs. I suppose we'll be stimulating the economy by spending the extra money we would have put in our vacation fund each month had we NOT had the stimulus check - if that makes any sense!

Well I was planning to use the cash to pay my credit cards but since I'm using those to pay for my WDW trip then i guess I am sorta using it for WDW

Most (if not all) of my tax refunds go into my general "vacation fund". Since this is an above-and-beyond rebate, I'll probably stash the whole thing in there. Eventually it will pay for part of a Disney trip, one way or the other.

Had this trip pretty well taken care of. I thought I'll probably just endorse the check and hand it right over to the oil companies. Singin' the Gas Pump Blues...

We had already planned our trip, so it wasn't a result of the stimulus announcement, but it will be paying for our airfare and one of our APs.
-
Yes!!
-
This stimulus check is my "closer" on the trip that I have already booked for September. My wife is much more practical than I am and with all of the medical bills that we have racked up over the last 2 years due to my battle with cancer, she thinks that we need to put off Disney for a while. I believe, however, that we need to make the most of every day that we are given and we need to enjoy the time with our children while they are young.
So, keep your fingers crossed and please pray for me that I can convince my wife that we NEED this trip!!!
