Disney World Travel Protection Rate Change
Thereās good news and bad news about travel protection from Walt Disney World this week.
I have good news and bad news about the travel protection offered through the Walt Disney Travel Company.
The bad news is that the price of travel protection just increased by $12.50.
Youāll now pay $95 per adult for Disney World Travel Protection.
The good news however is that children age 17 and under are now free, and automatically covered when adults purchase the travel protection plan.
Prior to this change, childrenās policies were $6 each.
Is travel protection necessary? In my article Is Disney Travel Protection Worth it? I discuss how it gives you peace of mind and share a few good examples.
You can also read more about what the travel protection plan covers in my Guide to Disney Travel Protection here.
As a travel advisor, it is my honest and personal recommendation to purchase travel protection.
Full disclosure, Disney pays me a commission if you purchase travel protection, but the amount will just about buy a small coffee.
My point is, there is no upsell bonus or anything like that if you buy the plan.
I recommend travel protection based on my experiences with clients who purchased it - and even those who didnāt.
For example, recently a good client contracted Covid-19 while at Disney. It spread to the entire family. While symptoms were all very mild thankfully, they spent over $1,000 on virtual doctor visits, having covid tests delivered to the hotel, and they were unable to fly home for 3 days.
This was all covered by their travel protection policy.
While Disney will work with you to some degree, if you have travel protection, itās much easier to get a refund and reimbursements for medical expenses, extended stays and flight changes if you have it.
