2012 Magic Your Way Packages Released
Disney has released the 2012 MYW vacation packages (earliest in history!) There are few changes:
Cancel policy is the same so far
Insurance has changed to $69.95 per person
No more Wine and Dine packages
Quick Service Dining only includes one snack
Basic Dining now includes the refillable mug (1 per person)
You can see package inclusions here:

The INITIAL dining plan brochures are here:
Quick Service http://www.magicaljourneystravel.com...ickService.pdf
Basic Dining http://www.magicaljourneystravel.com/2012Dining.pdf
Deluxe http://www.magicaljourneystravel.com...luxeDining.pdf
Platinum http://www.magicaljourneystravel.com/2012Platinum.pdf
Premium http://www.magicaljourneystravel.com/2012Premium.pdf
You will note that the NON-Disney owned restaurants are not yet listed on the dining plan brochures. This happens every year since contracts have not yet been signed. They will update these brochures through the year as these restaurants sign the contracts. Final and full brochure is usually released in December, so do not freak out that they are missing! Every year this is what we see.
For 2012 pricing please contact Magical Journeys. You not only support Intercot, but will help keep a small business operating.
We charge no fees and the personal service the agents give you will make your trip planning enjoyable. We monitor your reservation from the day you book until the day you check in to try and save you money.

While I've never used the Quick Service Dining plan, that missing snack makes it a little less enticing (although not necessarily a deal breaker). It seems to me this is how many created a 3rd meal with the plan.
I love the idea of the mug now being included in the basic plan.

They have been released. They cannot do one without the other.
We would be happy to help if you need it.

Thanks for the update, Nanci! They certainly are early with this - perhaps they're hoping the early release will allow them to better know who is planning to trave to Disney next year!

I read over the Insurance brochure but i am still confused with the benefits of the insurance...
is my thought process at all correct?
Not buying insurance:
from what I gather if you cancel up to 45 days before your trip you get a 100% refund. After 45 days you get a full refund minus the initial $200 you paid.
Buying insurance:
if you cancel after the 45 day mark you get 100% refund MINUS the cost of insurance ($140 now for two people)... so basically you only "save" $60... and thats if your reason for cancelling doesn't fit one of their loopholes for not covering you...
what am i missing here?

I do not think of insurance in the means of cancelling. I think of insurance in case something happens AFTER you check in.
Personally, I get insurance when I have my 2 sons with me and know they are going to be doing things like: Jet ski, parasail, rock climb, ATV'ing, dune buggy etc. (speaking of all vacations not just Disney)
**IF** something should happen, and I had to have them airlifted anywhere, the cost is astronomical. (had one child airlifted many moons ago)
When we got stuck in Paris for an extra 48 hours, the insurance covered meals and hotel that I had not planned on.
I was just on an Adventures by Disney and another couple rec'd a call that his mom passed away very unexpectedly. Insurance payed for the very expensive last minute flights out of a miniscule airport in Utah.
So, insurance is really not for cancellation in my mind, but for those other events that you never, ever even consider.

So, from I can gather, the QS price stayed the same, yet people lost a snack. And the DDP gained a mug, but costs over $5 more per day.
Or put another way, the QS plan in seeing about an 11.5% increase, and the DDP is seeing an almost 12% increase.
Hmmm... Groceries are surely going up at the local stores, so this shouldn't be a surprise, but those are pretty steep percentage increases. Coupled with the ticket price hike, and surely the parking and accomodations hikes, I suspect it's going to cost the avg family (4 people) about $300-400 if not more for week in Disney in 2012 over 2011.
Something tells me we'll see some discounts next year as well. People just aren't going to pay that... They can't afford it...

Ahh okay yes and your final statement summed it up perfectly... things i never considered. I will give it serious thought

After a mishap with a vacation earlier this year, I was very happy I had bought insurance. I usually don't but having this insurance saved me over $3700. Now I am a true believer in buying insurance coverage.
