Hey Carol,
Welcome back to planDisney! Considering that I've taken the time to save the funds for several Walt Disney World vacations myself, I can certainly appreciate your question. I like to view my family's Disney vacations as investments in core memories and quality time. There's no better way to protect that investment than travel insurance.
I am the queen of “just in case,” so I can fully relate to your desire to learn more about what kind of travel insurance is available for your trip to Disney World. Disney actually has some great information on their website about the
type of travel insurance that’s available through them and how to go about adding it to your vacation.
While you’re in a planning mood and looking to maximize your vacation like a pro, let’s give some thought to dining – will you be considering adding either of the
dining plans to your vacation? There’s currently a great promotion for a
free dining plan when you book select vacation packages by April 30, 2026. There are so many other great promotions available on the
Special Offers page right now so be sure to take a look there before booking.
Additionally, while you’re planning think about whether you’ll want to add
Lightning Lane passes to your package. Lightning Lane is Disney’s skip the line service that allows guests to skip the traditional standby queue. Guests staying at Disney resort hotels will be able to purchase Lightning Lane passes 7 days prior to their arrival date and preselect up to 3 attractions. Guests who add the Disney Dining Plan (quick service + table service) to their vacation package will want to book their advance dining reservations at 60 days prior to arrival.
Carol, it sounds like your plans are off to a practically perfect start. I know you’ll plan an amazing vacation that your family will love, but if you ever need more help just come on back to planDisney. We’ll be happy to help. We’ll see ya real soon!
