Anyone used Build a Better Mousetrip?

[ToddSB]

I just booked a short trip to WDW in February 2007. My first time there since I was a young child over 30 years ago! Have only 2 nights and about 2 1/2 days so I want to have a good touring plan. I joined the tour guide Mike site and got a lot of valuable information but his sample touring plans don't fit my situation that well...I encountered the Build a Better Mousetrip site offering custom itinerary planning. The fee ($45 for first day, $25 each day after) doesn't seem that bad considering the overall cost of the trip and amount of time I expect I would invest coming up with my own plan, but not sure if its really worth it and haven't been able to find any info about this service. Anyone know more about them? Thanks.

I have been all over these boards and other Disney fan sites every day for years and I don't think I've ever heard of them, sorry Todd. Tourguidemike on the other hand really is quite good and proven. If Mike doesn't have a sample plan that fits somewhat then perhaps someone on his forum or here on the Dis can help you with a touring plan? When were you planning on going and is it yourself alone or will you be traveling with others?

If you like things to be more customized, you might want to try RideMax. I think the subscription is under $20. I am also using TGM and have gotten some really good info. But I enjoy playing around with RideMax and using it to decide which attrations WE want to see. You can recreate touring plans a hundred different ways until it fits into your style of touring and your wants and needs. Check it out!

Todd,

I have Build A Better Mouse Trip and you and I have exchanged emails. If you check my disboards history, you'll see that I have been around these boards for quite awhile - especially with the All-Star Movies FAQ section in the Resort boards. I also volunteer on the TGM boards and recommend that service highly.

I have done quite a bit of trip coordination for people in my local area and have even traveled with some large groups (35 to 45 people) who used my services. We just launched the internet based service this summer.

I haven't really said much about Build A Better Mouse Trip - www.buildabettermousetrip.com - on this board because 1.) advertising isn't permitted 2.) I have been assuming that most of my business would come from people who don't have the time or interest in doing their own planning - and this board is known for its WDW fanatics.

There is a recent thread on the tripadvisor forums with responses from a couple of my customers. If you want to see it, you can go to www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g3451...isney_tour_guide_service-Orlando_Florida.html

I hope this helps.
Stephen
