Hello, Isa.
Both are correct, and the meaning is exactly the same. The second one is perhaps a bit more natural sounding. _________________ Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.

Hi Isa, As Skrej said,both are correct.However,there's a subtle difference between them ! We use "will" when we decide to do smth at the time of speaking(not before): -Let's have a party. -That's a great idea.We'll invite lots of people. But we use 'be going to" when we have already decided to do smth: -We have decided to have a party.We're going to invite lots of people. -That's a good idea. Best wishes, Morteza |
