I have a pre existing medical condition which they don't seem to cover - so to save on hassle once I get out there, I'm getting my 13months worth of insurance with someone else lol I can get it paid off before I leave too so I'm set
hi guys i was going to start a discussion about insurance today,but as there is already one started here,ill just join in! what is the website we get our cover off??and is that the best and cheapest one?and do we just need it for 3 or 4 months? thanks guys.love steph xxxxxx
HI, well i am taking out a fourth month policy as i will be travelling for upto a month after the program ends. I went to the gateway website but its seems really expensive!
yeah it is really expensive!!!!!!! shop around locally,,they nust do it cheaper....im going to do it in a local one in paignton......... i thought gateway would of been cheaper....... im not going to do mine till a few weeks? anyone heard from yummy yet/./???still hasnt replied to my emails....... cheerio.
oh no actually its coming up at $196 for four months, does that sound like a fair price for cover? By the way the website is the one disney provided: http://www.gatewayplans.com/index.cfm
Actually I am also really confused about my travel insurance. Disney recommended www.insureandgo.com , and they do an annual travel insurance but the maximum you can travel on one trip is 90 days. Well as I am going for four months does this mean that it is all one trip from the uk? Or is it a few trips, as I will be going to florida, then at the end of the contract (90 day perdiod) i will then be travelling, so is that classed as seperate trip?
oh u travelling aswelll.....i have no clue......its all so confusing! $196 that soiunds a good rate.....i must be entering things wrong.! .. maybe you should get longer insurance.else ull have to get 2 to cover u ;D
im still waiting on a reply from yummy about something else! what i will say to you all before you take out insurance is if you are at uni check if you're covered by them. I checked and as i am still part of the degree course i am, covered so i dont need 2 take any cover out! xxx
reallly!! because ur at uni u dont have to get cover!!!!...if so good news............ill mention im at uni when applying for insurance..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D xxxx
Hey, Thanks for the insurance websites, i am looking at sorting it all out, didn't know it would cost so much just to get out there! got a list of things to pay for form yummy on the fone the other day too! lol. I was told by Mindi that we (international Prog participants) had to have insurance for the first 4 months that we were there because after 90 days we are entitled to disney company benefits and medical schemes etc. I get some kind of medical insurance through the disney store but not sure if i can blag that to cover me over there! lol. Bry
yeah bry mindi was correct. jason told me you get cover with disney after the beginning of the 3rd full month you are there eg i get there 21st june, so i need to be covered til october 1st (all of july, august and september, plus when i arrive in june) so its just over 3 months i need so u need 2 get 4 months... if that makes any sense! yeah ask uni hun, i asked them and they told me i was covered so forwarded the insurance deets to jason to check and he said they were ok for my cover! xxx
Well, I have epilepsy and it's SO very difficult to find a company that will cover both the length of time I was asking for (before you qualify for the Disney insurance) AND the medical condition. By pure chance, I got cover with Boots no less lol And at £360 for the WHOLE 13 months - I can have that paid off before I leave, so I won't have to worry about paying out of my wages when I get there, because (chances are) I'd have been at the higher end of the $$ scale.
I'm sure it would, but I figure if I can get it all paid off at a pretty good price before I go - all the better for me. I just know with the whole medical conditon thing, it ALWAYS complicates medical insurance and I always end up at the sky high end of the plan. I'd rather not have any nasty surprises after four months!
Hey Does anyone know if we need both travel insurance (to cover for the flight, loss of luggage - delay etc) and medical insurance? I know we will need medical insurance but dont know if it will be 2 diferent insurance policys we need ??? Helen x
