Wow, this is fantastic! Do you get to pick where to stay?
That post on taxes is a real downer, but probably true. Just hate to think about it. Congratulations!
I too won a trip last year...which we took in June 2003. It was a trip for 4 which included 5 nights resort, airfare, transfers, 6 day PHPs, $400 Disney Dollars and $1500 in recreation. We ended up adding 3 days to the beginning of the trip, which we needed in order to use all the recreation dollars and still be able to visit the parks.
You and your family/friends will have such a good time! And nothing beats coming home without a bill (or much of one).
Good for you. I'm sure you will have a great time. Thanks for sharing with us. It's good to know someone really wins these things. With 8 people you can plan all those new Happy gathering things. Enjoy
