Planning a Disney or Universal Vacation doesn’t Have to Be complicated

Be the Vacation Hero :-) You want to protect your vacation dreams and dollars… We want that too. Don’t waste precious vacation time trying to figure out details you’ll wish you’d known before your trip. Disney and Universal are constantly adding or changing attractions, entertainment and rules. We stay on top of all that for you so you arrive with your trip planned and knowing what to do, where to go and how things work. That is why we are called Build A Better Mouse Trip.

We are a group of Disney Travel Agents and Universal Travel Agents. We love all of the Disney and Universal vacation destinations as they are all amazing. We want to help you have the most wonderful, most memorable vacation possible. We know that giving you good, up-to-date information and a few simple tools will make a huge difference so you will have great memories of shared experiences instead of missed opportunities.

Planning on, thinking about or just wishing you could go on a Disney, Universal or Cruise adventure? Join our mailing list 😊 to receive regular updates, fun information and available offers. Also, you will receive 40 great Disney World freebies in your welcome note and several helpful “how-to” e-guides over the next few days.

Here's how we do it: 

  • Your Travel Agent - You have one agent from start-to-finish; one agent who knows your name and your priorities, and who wants to do everything possible to help you have a wonderful experience. Can you see how that is better than a random call center agent who only knows your name from the reservation registration?

  • Changes - The pace of change is ever increasing. If it has been years, or even months, since you visited Walt Disney World, many things have changed; and not just new attractions…FastPass has been replaced by Genie+, mobile ordering at quick-service, and having to make theme park reservations are just three recent changes. We’ll make sure you know what’s changed and how it affects your trip.

  • “Best Days” Vacation Planning – We’ll help you pick the best park for each day based on hours and expected crowd levels then we help with dining reservations and understanding which Disney Genie+ and individual Lightning Lane selections might be right for you.

  • Saving Money - The best discount is not paying for things you don't want. That discount is ALWAYS available. Disney packages have lots of upgrade options – do you need park hopping or Genie+? Is a water view room or preferred location room worth the cost? What about trip insurance? Our agents always start with the least expensive option and are happy to explain all the add-on options to you so that you pay only for the things you want or need.

  • Deals & Discounts - Disney cast members will apply discounts if you know what to ask for but, we automatically apply qualifying discounts for you and we keep watching for new ones to be released so you don't have the stress and worry about watching for promotions. Read more about discounts and promotions...

  • Dining Reservation Help - Disney cast members give you a list of Disney World restaurants but, we help you find best restaurants and dining times and even book them on your behalf if you prefer (subject to availability), if you find would find that helpful. Read more about dining...

  • Special Events and Activities - Disney cast members can reserve activities for you if you know what to ask for, but we help you create your perfect vacation around your priorities and things that interest you. Read more about fun activities outside the parks...

  • Disney Character Experiences - Disney can look up what characters are available, but we can help you incorporate character experiences into your trip, whether it is Princesses, Pirates or other characters.

  • We are fee-free. We book directly through Disney and we never charge a service fee so you never pay any extra to use our services, when you book your trip through us. You can have all the benefits Disney offers AND all the services we offer. You can also purchase planning services from us if you've booked your trip on your own or through another travel agency.

In 2006, we launched Build A Better Mouse Trip because we wanted to help people have better Disney vacations without having to spend more money.  When we first launched, our clients paid for our consulting services, but we quickly discovered that becoming a Disney-focused travel agency would let us do this for people without having to charge any fees.   Let us help you have a wonderful Disney vacation.

There are over 200 pages of information on this site including fun outside the parks like Nightlife and Disney’s Boardwalk, characters such as Anna and Elsa and Tinkerbell, crowds and closure information and resort information.  We are updating it all the time, so drop by often :-)
