Don't let your current policy lapse.
I've never gone through this, but I take it you are old :D: Plus I've been with my current company (via acquisitions) for 12 years this month.

Old is relative. I may be an old gas passer but I can still bike the legs off people half my age.
As to keeping medical insurance in place, during my working years I was laid off twice. COBRA is expensive but if you do expect to get medical coverage when you start with a new company on day one you have to have an active medical plan.
It appears Disney will only offer coverage after ninety days. A lot of companies are the same way. This is probably in place to keep someone from hiring on and nailing the carrier with a huge bill in the first week.
