COVID Protocols and Precautions
We hope everyone will be able to travel. We will do our very best to help you travel safely, and if you cannot travel with us, we will work with you to help recoup expenses.
Now that Covid has been around for a while, for travel purposes it is treated like any other illness. If a traveler gets ill or has a death in the family etc. and they have the correct travel insurance, they will make a claim on the insurance. We of course will try to give back as much as we can – the cash backs and meals that we have not paid for yet and we would try to get a ticket refund. Unfortunately, there will be costs we can not get back (bus costs, hotel room costs etc).
If someone does test positive with Covid and they have the correct travel insurance, those costs may be covered. Those students in the room may also be covered by insurance. We will definitely work with you to get the best results and get the kids home safely but the parents may incur additional costs.
Face masks will be required in various areas of Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Studios, and Buena Vista Suites. For the bus trip, we will follow protocols by Cedar Springs Public Schools and Kent County Health Department.
