What
if my instrument(s) get damaged or lost on the trip?
We recommend
you purchase instrument insurance to cover losses or damage
incurred during our stay in Disney. Your instrument will be
insured during transit to and from Disney, but once in Disney,
your instrument is your responsibility. Your parents can add
a rider to their home owner policy to cover the instrument
while in Disney.
