Disney Resort Hotel Package
The components of the Disney Resort Hotel vacation package include accommodations, tickets, possibly dining, and magical extras.
Disney Resort Hotel Package reservations are available for reservations at Disney Resort hotel categories.

Base tickets admit guests to one Theme Park per day. However, you must include at least a 2-day base ticket for each person included in a Disney Resort Hotel vacation package.
Multi-day tickets must be used within a limited period from the selected start date for admission.

Optional Add-Ons to the Basic Package
Vacation Insurance
When adding vacation insurance to a Disney Resort Hotel Package, the premium is for each adult (no charge for children 17 and under) listed on a reservation. Insurance includes 100% of insured trip cost, plus coverage for 6-hour or more travel delay (up to $600), baggage loss (up to $2000), baggage delay (up to $500), medical expenses (up to $25,000), $25,000 Accidental Death & Dismemberment and a few other emergency provisions. Also covered are a hurricane or inclement weather causing delay or cancellation of travel. Coverage may apply to airfare purchased as part of a package through a travel agency or on your own when canceled due to covered reasons.
If you’re purchasing a package, insurance can be a good idea. Once added, the insurance is non-refundable after 14 days. Those traveling in “hurricane season,” particularly late August through September, should carefully consider insurance. Travel delays or disruptions often occur during this time of year. Note: For alternative insurance, try InsureMyTrip. Travelers can comparison shop from an extensive list of companies and can build coverage to fit their individual needs. This is can sometimes a cheaper and more comprehensive alternative, particularly when it comes to booking Disney Cruise line insurance.
Travel insurance premium is refundable within 14 days after the date the insurance was added to the reservation as long as no claims filed and the guest has not departed. More specific information is provided in the Travel Insurance Description of Coverage. For insurance added 2 days to 14 days prior to Guest arrival, travel insurance is refundable if canceled at least 2 days prior to Guest arrival. When travel insurance is canceled, you add the cost to any other fees that may be applicable.
