I was just watching CNN ("scare-TV" for worry warts like me!) and they said the experts really have no idea how and where SARS will spread. As mentioned in other threads here, Orlando is a prime target due to the volume of international travel. With this in mind I am seriously considering insuring our 2 week WDW trip this Sept./Oct. If a breakout of SARS is announced just before we are scheduled to go I don't want to have to chose between losing thousands of dollars and putting our family at risk.
Since we have never had travel insurance I have a lot of questions: How much does it cost? What does it cover? Can you buy it after you have already put out money on the trip (deposits, etc.)? What are the grounds for collecting the money? In other words, would we be able to collect if we canceled due to a SARS breakout?
This is the last thing I expected to have to be thinking of when we scheduled this trip back in Oct. '02. It has really put a wet blanket on the excitement and pleasure I usually get when planning and anticipating a trip to Disney.
PS- For any "flame-throwers" out there, be nice! Please don't tell me I am over reacting. If the WHO and CDC don't know where this SARS thing is heading, neither do you! I have 4 kids to think about!
