Our Guide to Travel Insurance: What You Need to Know
At People Mover Travel, we love helping families, couples, and adventurers plan their dream vacations—whether that’s to the magic of Walt Disney World, a European river cruise, or a sunny all-inclusive escape. But as much as we all hope for smooth sailing (and flying), the truth is: travel doesn’t always go as planned. That’s where travel insurance comes in.
Travel insurance can protect your investment, your health, and your peace of mind. It’s not the most glamorous part of planning a trip, but it may be one of the most important. Here’s our detailed guide to understanding travel insurance, the options you’ll have depending on your destination, and how to choose what’s right for you.
Disney's Pop Century Resort - Disney’s BEST Value Resort!
We’ve been staying in Walt Disney World resorts for well over 15 years. In that time frame, we’ve stayed at every single resort on property at least once. But there’s one we keep returning to again and again - Disney’s Pop Century Resort! Having recently returned from a stay at this vibrant, nostalgia-filled hotel, I'm excited to share why this resort deserves serious consideration for your next Disney adventure.
When planning a Disney World vacation, choosing the right resort can make all the difference. Among Disney's Value Resorts, Pop Century stands out as our favorite for numerous compelling reasons. While the All-Star Resorts are often less expensive, Pop Century still has our vote as the best option for a Value Resort. Yes, I love the rooms, but most particularly due to the transportation option of the Skyliner, I consider Pop Century to the be the best “bang for your buck” Value Resort.
