Government shutdown - flights?

[DCLMP]

Sure it’s been worse than I thought they’d let it get but goodness me, this is exaggerative. I think right now it’s actually about not letting emotions guide you, logic says keep your plans and prep your backup- not spiral into doomsday thinking.

I got space in my brain for all scenarios. I have for a couple of decades.

I'm so sorry for everyone going through this for your upcoming trips - Disney and non-Disney.

While we were very lucky to have no issues when all was said and done, I can't lie and say this did not put a damper/dark cloud on our trip. Worrying about getting home was always in the back of our minds.

Good luck everyone!

So are people's travel insurance paying out or denying claims for those who miss thier cruise because of flights?

Probably depends on how the insurance cert is written.

When Delta cancelled our flights because of their computer issues in 24, our trip insurance paid for our rental car, gas, and food for the trip back (Delta reimbursed the cost of the flights).

That was on the return though.

Anyone able to share their TSA precheck experience out of MCO?

No issues on Monday. It was empty and so were the regular lines at noon.

Its going to depend on the policy. Missing a cruise due to a flight cancellation or delay normally falls under trip interruption and requires a delay or cancellation with no chance to rebook for 24 hours. So if you are booked for a flight arriving the night before at 6pm and it is cancelled they will not cover missing the cruise due to the 24 hour rule.
