    I've done a few, and a few twice. On average when i get to the park it's for 2-3 hours at a time, which is just enough to keep you wanting to come back. I did get to go on Spaceship earth before it closes( i think its closing this week until Nov). went on everest last week for the first time, it was awsome!!! definatley going to become a new favorite. Check with Westjet for your flight, i got my ticket for $192 including taxes with them.

    it will be stressfull for the next few weeks but once you get here you'll have a lot of down time in that first week to relax( between trips to walmart that is).When i got my passport done it took 3 weeks, as long as you let them know your departure date they will make sure you get it in time. While your waiting for that arrival package to come you can get other things done. Pay the program assessment fee$85USD) on line there is a link to it on a thread in the accepted forum. Get your medical insurance, you need 4 months worth. Get a quote from Travelguard they give upfront coverage and had the best rates when i was searching. Get the CBC done soon it took 2 weeks for me to get mine back even though they told me it would only take one. can't think of anything else right now, i hope this helps.

    Try this site to pay the fee on line. Print and keep the receipt, they will ask you for it on day 2.

    For insurance your looking for travel medical coverage. You want to make sure thepolicy covers you for 24 hr emergency assistance, emergency evacuation(if you are confined to hospital this will cover the cost of air ambulance to take you back home to receive care in Canada), should also cover the cost of flying a family member to your bedside if hospitalized, Medical expenses, and expenses related to your death. Look for a minimum 2 million dollar policy, most are for 5 and a few cover unlimited. Sounds like alot but medical services are expensive down here. (IE a friend of the family was hospitalized with an attack of angina, he spent 4 days in the hospital, had tests and procedures done. The bill came to just under $25,000 USD.)

    Get quote from kenetix.ca it will compare the rates of 3 or 4 dif companies for you so you can get an idea. Expect to pay anywhere from $150-$450 for 4 months of coverage.

    Don't worry as long as i'm not working i'm always ready to go to the parks. who else besides us has the luxury of being able to go into the parks for an hour at a time without spending $70.

    OK you must have proof of insurance, it's one of the first things they are going to ask you for so you wont have time to shop for it down here. It's better to buy it in your country of origin anyway.
    The assessment fee you can pay on day 2 in cash.

    Lastly you will probally get you visa paper by courier in the next week( it is sent from the program office in Florida, not castaway)The only thing you need to do with this is keep it safe until you leave. it will consist of 1 letter to you explaining how the visa works when your taking someone else place in the program. 2 letters that you will need to show at the airport when you go through US customs, explaining that you are replacing the person who's name is on the visa. Last is the notice of action form(visa).

    Be ready for the rain, we get major thunderstorms almost every afternoon. I just got soaked on my way back from downtown Disney. So much water i had to give up on my sandals and go barefoot.
