I used tripinsurancestore.com to compare policies and ended up choosing Travel Guard Gold. We squeezed in under the deadline to get the pre-existing condition concerns covered. I also discovered that we qualified for a clause that covered my DH to be able to cancel (please no) for a work related reason with the proper work documentation. That was a nice perk with that policy -- it wasn't a cancel for any reason thing though as that was a way more expensive option. We purchased a policy for the four of us for the 12 nights and some pre and post nights too for $299. We are allowed to add in the airfare amount (or if we use frequent flyer miles we can add in the amount for fees and such) and any hotel amounts to the policy once we know them later on. They will just adjust the policy to add those changes when call them with the information. Yes, we will be charged more but it won't affect our pre-existing condition waiver. So all good for us to have that peace of mind if, heaven forbid, something goes seriously wrong before or after we cross the Atlantic. It was way cheaper than going with Disney's insurance (which for us would have been $1060 -- yikes).
The people at that website when I called with some specific questions about a few different policies were very helpful.
Media always exaggerate.... Actually I am doing tours everyday without facing any problems. Take care.
