Time For An Update? Probably.

So after you've been accepted into the program you're faced with a whole lot of waiting....

But first things first FLIGHTS! 

I would say it's best to book your flights a soon as you can for cheapness, I booked my flights in the January sale. When your program finishes, your VISA allows you to stay and travel within the states for a further 30 days. My program finished August 8th and I'll be flying home on September 3rd from New York after I.ve been to Vegas and California. If you're not too sure if you can or will travel after STA Travel offer flight tickets where you can change your flight home for a wee extra charge!

The next step is MANDATORY MEDICAL INSURANCE!

At some point in March, Disney will email you with the details of the medical insurance that you must specifically get from HTH Worldwide.

"As part of the United States government visa regulations you are required to have, at minimum, medical insurance coverage from June 3rd - August 8th. Should you arrive or depart outside your program dates your insurance policy must cover this additional time. You must purchase your insurance policy prior to your arrival in the United States from HTH Worldwide."

There are 3 options of health insurance with prices this year at: 74.30 USD, 117.25 USD and 99.55 USD. Some people just went for the cheapest (such as myself) and others went for the more  expensive one just to be on the safe side. So look at what each price offers and chose which best suits you personally.

After this it'll be time for your VISA application!!!
