Re: do you purchase the vacation insurance?

I take it because being older, you really don't know what can happen. This year, going in Sept, I have the fear because of hurricane season - so just to be prepared. It's like $120 to add I think.
You're correct...we usually do not add the insurance until we're close to 30 days out. If you're a DVC member, the insurance they offer is really cheap...something like $35 for the trip (doesn't include air); so we hold off as long as we can to purchase incase we decide to cancel or change things and then add it before the deadline.
