Don't they just add it in to the payments you will be making? So, you wouldn't have to pay for it all right now? Did you check to see if your own health insurance would cover you if you were out of the country?
I used to work for my Dad, who sold Life & Health insurance...so I'm probably way too "insurance-minded" but I say "Get it"!

Hey, Denise....you can quit calling me a brat! I am still taking the kids to WDW, but Jay & I are backing out of the free cruise. Lots of reasons. Kids first week of school, not enough time for me to get everything I would need to get done and not go crazy, I'm not very happy with the dis-organized way they are handling the whole thing....
And...we were invited on a Princess cruise for the end of October that will be much nicer, and a lot more suitable to our schedule...not to mention nicer weather.
So, I guess I'll change my signature again.

I definitely want the insurance, but at this point (being so far out still) I really hesitate to get it this early! I am in a quandry about when to buy it, not if. Oh well. I need to decide in the next day or so, so maybe I will call Disney and see if they do put it in w/the total owed. Right now we aren't signed up for the transfers either because who knows what we are doing in terms of getting there. We may decide to fly in a night early and not put ourselves through the stress of getting there the same day, I just don't know yet. What a mess.
I am so glad we were in London last week at this time rather than now!
I am glad it is Friday, just wish it were later in the day. I have to go home and make dinner for two more than my usual (picking up my niece and my Mom since SIL is working today) and I am still not sure what I am making! I am still so disorganized after getting back from London, this really isn't like me at all.
Oh well....
Later 'gators.....

Wow....it has been too quiet here!
Hi Kat! Good idea on calling DCL...they are the ones who can help you the best. I'd have to say though, that I'm 99.99999% sure that the insurance just gets added to the price.
We don't do the transportation either. We did do it the first time we cruised, but now we know that we like to set our own schedule, so we use FLTours. Their cost comes out almost the same as DCL's....maybe a few $$ higher, but it's worth it, because you don't have to wait for a bus to load up....and they'll stop at the store and let you buy things to take on the ship....like the Pepsi I can't live without!

Why do weekends always feel so crowded and rushed? I felt awful yesterday and accomplished nothing to speak of and now I have too much to do today. Ugh.
I saw a beautiful dress in a catalog today. I own nothing really fancy and would love to find something for the cruise next year. DH has said to go ahead and rent a tux so I'd love to get at least one fancy dress to complement that. But I also hope to lose a little weight before then so I don't dare order the dress this far out. Ugh. I love the fact that we are going on this cruise next year but I hate that it is so far away!
I tried to call about the trip insurance this morning but they aren't open yet. I will try back later....

Kat - I cruise all the time with my 86 yo Mom. I always get the insurance. I sign up for it when I book and pay the deposit then pay everything at 60/90 days out. I have only had to use the ins once and pre existing was not a problem.

Kat....sounds like we had the same kind of day yesterday. I don't feel as though I got anything done. Jared and I cleaned the big pool filter, and being out there in the heat made me sick, so it ruined the rest of my day. Bummer.
And I know what you mean about the dresses! I want so badly to go to the mall and find a new one for the October cruise...but I don't dare. I really hope I can at least lose 10 lbs before then.
Sue....after cruising with DCL, I'm going to have to try to not set my expectations too high. I know there are a lot of differences, like the size of the rooms and the dining...but hopefully that won't "cloud" my opinion. I like to think that I'm fairly easy to please. I'm already expecting it to be wonderful no matter what...so we'll see. It would have been nice to also have gone on the Royal Caribbean cruise for comparison....but it was just too much to try to do in one summer.

I'm doing okay. It finally rained here last night...it was wonderful!! Cooled things off today...we barely got over 100° today. Yippee!!!
Getting ready for the trip to WDW next week. At least it's an easy one to pack for....no snorkel gear, no "formal night" clothes. T-shirts and shorts.
And a T.O.P.!!!
Heading out to dinner.....TTFN!

Well I'm back from my 3-day Breast Cancer walk. I never knew you could have so many blisters on your feet 
It was...an unbelievable experience. Hard to describe. I was very emotional during the closing ceremonies. Thanks again, Sue, for your generosity! It's greatly appreciated!
