🏥 Story #1: My son got sick at Disneyland

MR

María Rodríguez

Mother, 38 years old • Mexico City

Trip: Orlando, Florida • February 2024

🚨 The emergency:

We were on our second day at Disney World when my 7-year-old son started with very high fever and vomiting. Within two hours it reached 40°C and I panicked. It was Saturday night and I didn't know what to do in a foreign country.

I never thought something like this would happen at 'the happiest place on earth'. SegurosFly not only covered all expenses, but they assigned me a coordinator who called me every 2 hours to see how my son was doing. When we returned to Mexico, they even sent him a Disney gift. 100% human service.

I was in El Nido when Typhoon Trami arrived. Within 6 hours the airport closed, there were no flights, and the hotel told me I had to evacuate. I was stranded on an island with no communication and a category 4 hurricane approaching.
