I'm wondering is there any advantage to estimating airfare and purchasing insurance for both the cruise and airfare now as compared to purchasing insurance for just the cruise now and adding insurance for airfare once I purchase those tickets. It seems to me that there are two advantages to...

I have been researching this question too, and here are my thoughts. We are most likely purchasing our airline tickets ourselves (not through Disney) both because I think we can do it cheaper ourselves and because I think your flight itinerary (e.g., number and length of stops) is at the mercy...

Access America Classic does charge for children online, but through AAA they don't. I almost wish one was significantly less expensive--it might make the decision clearer! And I suspect you are right about an evacuation not costing $500,000 but I imagine it could cost close to $50,000.

Thanks to all the great information on this board, I have narrowed my trip insurance decision down to two choices (I think!): Access America Classic and Travelex Travelite. The prices are almost identical -- Access America would be more, but two kids are free, which makes the two almost...

ZebraStripes: I am sorry that your insurance company won't cover your lost expenses. Would you mind sharing which company it is, and why they say they aren't paying? I am trying to figure out all the right questions to think about before buying insurance, but it is hard to anticipate what...

A related question: how much coverage? The two things I am most concerned about are travel delays and medical expenses. The coverages for travel delays seem pretty similar (around $750 to $1000 max) but the limits on medical coverge vary widely. Do I (or does anyone) need $500,000 in...

Thank you so much for your input here and the other travel insurance threads. Trying to figure out how to insure our travel party of six, ranging in age from 10 to 79, has given me a big headache, but I think I at least know what the important factors to consider are. These boards are really...

Thanks. Do you knwo what "general exclusions m and n" are? I looked on the site, but I didn't find it.

I can see why the poster would think air isn't covered--it's not clear to me either. When I enter the information on the page where it says "Quote all products" and select the "cruise (with or without air)" option, and then click to the next page with the "package policies" and select the two...

I realize that Disney's travel insurance is more expensive than others, but is it better if someone has a chronic illness that might flare up and require cancelling a cruise? Or is it still better to buy from another company?

Does this (losing the money paid for the insurance) happen even if you book through a travel agent such as Dreams?

That's a good point--thanks!

No doubt that insurance is a must! I guess it would be easy enough to contact a travel agency and ask which travel insurance company they use and then do some research on that company . . . Anyone know which travel insurance company DU uses?

I'm thinking that a travel agent might also make it easy to obtain travel insurance at a better price than offered by Disney, but I am worried about the possibility of ending up with insurance from a not-so-great company. has anyone had any experience -- either good or bad -- with actually...

The travel insurance is something I had not thought about from a TA. Does anyone have any experience--either good or bad--filing a claim with travel insurance obtained through at TA? (I had realized, from some other posts here, that better deals than Disney's can be had on travel insurance...

I'm wondering whether to switch a reservation made online to a travel agent. Aside from a shipboard credit, what are the post-booking benefits of having a TA? What might be potential drawbacks--that is, what might I not be able to do or have more difficulty doing if a TA has my reservation...

For those of you who got a quote from DU -- does it include any kind of credit? We booked online but are wondering whether to switch the reservation to a TA. Thanks!

Sue Ellen, Several posters have mentioned that DCL has told them that the price tiers on 4/4 will be the same as in effect for those who were able to book early because they were on the waitlist. Do you have any sense of whether DCL really will follow through with their statement not to...

When that happens, what will happen to frequent flyer miles? I have a ton of Skymiles -- will they be worth anything on any other airline?

I thought the waitlist was for suites. From this list, it looks like almost half of the people who are going have already booked non-suite staterooms. How is this possible?
