Claims/Notice Requirements/Time Limits
No claim for delay, detention, personal injury, illness, emotional distress or death of a Guest, or for loss of or damage to any
property of a Guest, may be brought against Disney Cruise Line® unless written notice of such claim is provided to Disney Cruise
Line® within six (6) months after the date of the event upon which such claim is based (within 30 days after the termination of the
cruise for a claim of property loss or damage); and no legal action may be brought against Disney Cruise Line® for delay,
detention, personal injury, illness, emotional distress or death of a Guest, or for loss of or damage to any property of a Guest,
unless such legal action shall be commenced within one (1) year after the date of the event upon which such claim is based (within
one (1) year after the termination of the cruise for a claim for property loss or damage), and legal process relating to such action is
served on Disney Cruise Line® within 120 days after filing, notwithstanding any provision of law of any state, territory, possession
or country to the contrary. All legal actions arising out of or relating to a Disney Cruise Line® vacation shall be brought, if at all,
and maintained exclusively in and before any court of competent jurisdiction located in Brevard County, Florida, U.S.A., or the
United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division, to the exclusion of courts located in any other county,
state, country, territory or possession whatsoever. The only exception to this choice of forum is when and if Disney Cruise Line®
asserts a petition for exoneration from or limitation of liability. Disney Cruise Line® liability for loss of or damage to property of any
Guest is limited to the amount of $300 per Guest per voyage, unless upon embarkation a Guest declares the true value of the
property in writing and pays 5% of the true value declared in excess of $300 to Disney Cruise Line®, in which case Disney Cruise
Line® liability will be limited to the true value declared not to exceed $5,000. All settlements will be made based on actual cash
value (replacement cost, less depreciation) up to the U.S. $300/$5,000 limits to Disney Cruise Line® liability. Losses due to
ordinary wear and tear, perils of the sea and acts of God are not reimbursable. Disney Cruise Line® provides an in-room safe for
your convenience; however, Disney Cruise Line® shall in no event be liable for the loss of or damage to cash, negotiable
securities, gold, silverware, jewelry, ornaments, works of art, photographic/video/audio equipment or supplies, laptop computers,
cellular phones or other valuables unless the same have been deposited with the Master or other designated representative who
issued a written receipt therefor. In the event of such deposit, Disney Cruise Line® liability for loss or damage thereof shall be
limited as otherwise provided in this paragraph. Additional coverage may be purchased through the Vacation Protection Plan
which is provided through World Access Service Corporation.

Cruise Health Considerations
By boarding the Disney Magic® or Disney Wonder® Guests represent themselves as physically and otherwise fit to travel. If you
have a medical condition which requires you to take prescription medication or may require you to obtain medical care during the
course of your cruise vacation, please consult with your personal physician prior to traveling. For your convenience, a physician
and nurse are on call 24 hours a day to provide basic medical services. The physician and nurse are not employees or
representatives of Disney Cruise Line® and will charge their prevailing fees for services provided at your request. Decisions
regarding medical care and treatment are personal and confidential and as such are strictly between the Guest and physician and
nurse. Disney Cruise Line® is not liable for any death, personal injury, illness or emotional distress caused by reason of any
treatment, diagnosis, advice, examination, prescription or other service provided by such medical personnel or by the failure of
such medical personnel to provide any treatment, diagnosis, advice, examination, prescription or other service. The ship's Master
has the right at any time to require any Guest to disembark for medical reasons, and compliance is mandatory. For your peace of
mind, we recommend the purchase of the Vacation Protection Plan. Insurance is not in effect until final vacation payment is made.
