Is it a bad move to take a long vacation right before resigning?

I accepted an offer at a new firm but not starting until September. So I was thinking about just using the rest of my vacation days, keep getting paid, then resign in a couple weeks. Technically within my rights but I also don't want to burn bridges. Is this considered to be a bad move or should I just go for it?

You're quitting. Who cares? If it's paid and you have days accrued use that shit.
