Get Away Today® Gives More to Their Travelers and to the Kids | Guiding You Forward

Today in the Mountain America Credit Union podcast lounge, we’re continuing our talk with Jen Dunyon from Get Away Today. This time, Jen tells us all about the roots of the company and what keeps them going.

Tune in to this episode of the Guiding You Forward podcast to learn about:

• How Get Away Today (GAT) got started.

• What you need to know about the changes in travel over the last 18 months.

• How your travel purchase can make a difference for kids.

Many people, even those based in northern Utah, don’t know that GAT has been in business for over 30 years. In the podcast video above, Jen tells the GAT origin story which, like all good stories, starts with a family trip to Disneyland®. See how that trip turned into a thriving business and endless memories.

Fun fact: GAT has the distinction of being the first travel partnership with Disney!

GAT’s story continues, and part of it is how they survived through economic downturns, including COVID. They, like so many other businesses, were plagued with shutdowns and employee shortages. Through it all, the GAT staff has kept one thing in mind—their clients.

With all the changes in travel, GAT has remained focused on customer service and providing more. Find out what Jen says people should know about booking travel. As an added bonus, members and non-members should also know that a portion of your travel purchase will go to Primary Children’s Hospital just by mentioning Mountain America Credit Union at booking.

Jen explains how GAT still found a way to help kids during decreased travel from the pandemic. Find out what they were able to donate that made a big difference! GAT remains dedicated to helping children. Over the years, they have donated over $3.5 million to the cause.
