Frequent Asked Questions about working with a Travel Agent for Universal trips

Booking your Universal vacation package with a Mom Approved Travel Advisor is complimentary for most vacation packages. There are some circumstances, such as a ticket only purchase, we may charge a service fee which will be disclosed upfront. There are no hidden fees working with Mom Approved Travel.

If you have already booked your Universal trip with Universal, depending on the circumstances we MAY be able to transfer it to the agency to allow your Advisor to assist without a fee.

If we are unable to transfer a vacation package or if you are staying offsite and already have tickets, we do offer a concierge planning option based on your needs.

Booking your Universal  trip through Mom Approved Travel means you get dedicated access to a Professional Travel Planner who specializes in Universal Parks & Experiences who can tailor a trip for your family.

To get started, simply fill out our QUOTE REQUEST FORM and one of our Advisors will contact you for a quick, free consultation.

Absolutely! MAT Advisors are experienced understanding and setting up families with a wide range of special needs for success. Some of our Travel Advisors have backgrounds in special education, special needs in their own families, or hold certifications from IBCCES. 

Whether it is dietary restrictions, physical handicap, neuro-divergent challenges, cognitive disabilities, hearing or visual disabilities, service animal travel or beyond, your MAT Advisor has the knowledge and expertise to make your Universal trip as comfortable as possible, so everyone can enjoy the epic fun!

Payment terms and conditions are set by the supplier, in this case, Universal Parks and Resorts Vacations. 

All payment requirements vary based on the supplier, but your MAT Travel Advisor can answer questions about your specific components.

Your Mom Approved Travel Advisor monitors your reservations for promos and will apply them IF they save you money. Sometimes promotions do not apply to all dates, room types or are released on the same date as a price increase. Your MAT Advisor has your back and will make sure you get the best value for your hard earned vacation dollars.

Your payments will be processed into the UPRV secure payment portals by your Travel Advisor. The agency does not hold or deposit any of your vacation package funds into our company account.

UPRV accepts most major credit cards.

Any charges to your credit card will show up as a charge from the supplier, and not Mom Approved Travel.

Booking early is a great idea, as you can lock-in pricing and have the best choices for resort availability. It is smart to book early!

There are regulations set forth by Universal what Travel Advisors and Travel Agencies can call themselves in the legal mumbo jumbo. Believe us, you WANT a Professional Travel Advisor who understands terms & conditions well! Certified Universal Travel Agent is not one of them.

However, Mom Approved Travel is an U-Preferred Travel Agency. We EARNED this designation given to us by Universal. All of our Travel Advisors maintain the highest level of Universal training. Our Advisors hold various certifications through travel industry associations with the highest professional standards.

When you book with Mom Approved Travel, you are hiring a trustworthy Travel Professional who specializes in Universal vacations.

Every Mom Approved Travel Advisor absolutely loves planning Universal vacations, it’s one of our “favorite children.” (shhhhh!) However, we also book Disney theme parks, cruises, all inclusives, ski, bucket list travel like Hawaii, Alaska, and more. We have Advisors that specialize in a wide range of family and no-kids vacations, ask your MAT Advisor for more information.
