Question:

What is the cost of travel insurance?

Answer:

Purchasing Travel insurance is an excellent idea for protecting your vacation investment. Price for the Disney travel insurance is $69.95 per adult with children under 18 free. It protects you from trip cancellation and interruption including airfare even if not booked through the Walt Disney World Travel Company.

Here are examples of what travel insurance covers*:

Trip cancellation/interruption, including coverage for nonrefundable unused prepaid airfare purchased through Walt Disney Travel Company, your Travel Agent or on your own, for covered reasons such as:

• Employee termination or layoff through no fault of your own after the effective date of coverage if you are an active employee with the same employer for at least one year
• Called into active military service, or having military leave revoked, or being reassigned within 10 days of departure
• A disabling sickness, injury or death causing trip to be cancelled
• Hurricane or inclement weather causing complete cessation of travel services at the point of departure and/or destination
• Trip and baggage delay
• Loss of baggage/personal effects
• Emergency medical transportation
• 24-hour emergency travel Assistance

It worth every cent it in my opinion, and I encourage each of my clients to protect their vacation investment.

Amount of coverage and what is covered by your Vacation Insurance is dependent on each individual plan.  Please talk with your Magic Maker® to find the best option for your vacation.  The list above is merely a sample list and is subject to availability and can change at any time without notice.

The premiere of this new nighttime spectacular, “World of Color,”  is less than two weeks away!  Below are a few ways to secure your spot to see this incredible new water spectacular at the Disney California Adventure® Park of the Disneyland® Resort in California.

“World of Color” Disney’s FASTPASS® Ticket
FASTPASS® tickets for “World of Color” will be available each morning at the Grizzly River Run FASTPASS® terminals. Guests can insert their park tickets into the terminal to obtain a FASTPASS® ticket to view “World of Color.” There will be a limited number of FASTPASS® tickets available for the show so be sure to get one early!

Note: Guests will not be able to pick a specific show time. FASTPASS tickets will first be distributed for the earlier show, and after those have been distributed, FASTPASS tickets will then be distributed for the later show. When all of the day’s “World of Color” FASTPASS tickets have been distributed, Grizzly River Run terminals will convert back to distributing Grizzly River Run FASTPASS tickets.  As always, theme park admission will be required to enter the park to obtain a FASTPASS ticket and to view the show.

“World of Color” Picnic Meals
You can also secure reserved viewing by ordering a special boxed picnic meal. Contact your Magic Maker™ to order a meal before your vacation.  Or Guests are able to walk-up and purchase, subject to availability, at the Sonoma Terrace, Golden Vine Winery.

Picnic meal options include four selections for adults: “The All American” (cold honey-stung fried chicken), “The Taste of Asia” (chilled miso-glazed salmon), “The European Antipasto” (cured meats, regional cheeses, artichoke heart, sun-dried tomato) and “The Mediterranean Vegetarian” (marinated grilled vegetables in a whole wheat wrap with roasted garlic hummus). Kids’ options for chidren ages 3-9 include “The Junior All American” (chicken), “The Lunchbox Classic” (peanut butter and jelly) and “The Little Squirt’s Box” (apple wedges, string cheese).

Online orders may be placed up to 60 days (starting June 11) in advance but may not be placed on the same day as redemption. The meals may be picked up at the Sonoma Terrace from 2:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  Subject to availability, guests who order Picnic meals online will be assigned to the evening’s first show, and guests who make a walk-up purchase will be assigned to that evening’s second show.  Meals are not available for order via Disneyland’s Dining Reservation phone line.  All picnic meals with “World of Color” Reserved Viewing are priced at $14.99 and must be redeemed for the designated reserved show date and time. No refunds, exchanges or other discounts.  Each guest entering the reserved viewing area must have reserved viewing area admission. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Guests may only enter the viewing area during designated times and no early or late admission will be allowed. Guests in large parties may not be guaranteed admission within the same reserved viewing area. Separate theme park admission is required.

Prix Fixe “World of Color” Dinners
Prix fixe meals with “World of Color” Preferred Reserved Viewing are available at both the newly redesigned Wine Country Trattoria and Ariel’s Grotto restaurants. Guests may order from a selection of Italian cuisine at Wine Country Trattoria ($39.99 for adults; $12.99 for children ages 3-9), or a varied menu of seafood, meat and vegetarian options at Ariel’s Grotto ($36.99 for adults; $20.99 for children ages 3-9). Both restaurants offer Preferred Reserved Viewing for “World of Color.”

Contact your Magic Maker® for reservations. Seatings are at specified times and space is limited. No early or late admissions. Children must be accompanied by an adult. No refunds, exchanges or other discounts. Separate theme park admission is required.

Walk-Up Viewing Locations
There is one more option available. If you are unable to obtain Disney’s FASTPASS tickets or reserve dinner packages for “World of Color,” you may still view the show from other viewing locations on the boardwalk side of Paradise Bay.

Earlier this year, we shared details of the popular shows and after-dark entertainment that are returning for Summer Nightastic! In Florida, at the Walt Disney World® Resort, Guests will experience a new fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom® Park as well as the favorite, Disney’s “Main Street Electrical Parade.”  Guests visiting California will get to experience a new, high-energy experience called Glow Fest that will light up summer nights at Disney California Adventure® park in addition to the “World of Color” water spectacular.

While “World of Color” brings a whole lot of color to the Paradise Pier section of the Park, you will find bright lights and beams of color in Sunshine Plaza and the Hollywood Backlot at this summer’s Glow Fest.

Glow Fest begins with the sound of drums and powerful rhythms that will draw you to Sunshine Plaza. An electric energy fills the evening air. As the sun goes down, colors burst to life and music starts to play from a brightly-lit stage that seems to glow. Dancers and world music performers create a fun vibe that you will only find at Disney California Adventure® park.

During Summer Nightastic! the daily experience takes center stage in Sun Plaza from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and continues in the Hollywood Backlot until Park closing.  What a way to end the night!
