Looking for help with Universal Hollywood tickets and a Universal Travel Agent? You found the experts!
Mom Approved Travel is a U-Preferred Universal Travel Agency who specializes in Universal Hollywood tickets and vacation packages for families!
Mom Approved Travel takes away the overwhelm of planning a Southern California family vacation and Universal Hollywood trip by assisting with much more than simply assisting with your purchase of Universal Hollywood tickets! We will help you with everything you need including best time to travel, where to stay, how long to stay, what to do in the parks and in the LA area, dining options, assistance with transportation, giving you tips and tricks along the way to make the most of your precious vacation time and dollars in a way that fits YOUR family.
With convenient partner hotels, epic attractions, delicious dining options, immersion in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™ or the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, a wide variety of fun for all ages and thrill levels, and packaging additional LA tours and experience options, a Mom Approved Southern California vacation that includes Universal Hollywood has everything you need for a family vacation that will make everyone happy!
At Mom Approved Travel, one of our core beliefs is Moms should get to have fun on her Universal vacation too. What that means is, Mom should actually enjoy going on vacation – she should not be stressing or spending her precious time worrying about which attractions are best for the kids, how to handle early access hours, where to find Butterbeer, how to best navigate Universal Hollywood, how to incorporate it into a Southern California vacation, spending hours researching all the packing things, or making sure she doesn’t miss important payment, activity, or deadline. Mom can spend her time and energy elsewhere (like finding the right Hogwarts house shirts or Mario shirts for everyone) when she partners with Mom Approved Travel!
That core belief is why we plan Universal Hollywood vacations a little differently. Our personalized Universal trip planning approach is crafted to protect the precious time and hard-earned travel dollars of overwhelmed Moms (and Dads). We take a way the guesswork and our unique Mom Approved processes allow you to focus on the fun and spend less time worrying about or messing with the logistical details of your vacation- we take care of those for you!
Your family is unique, which is why it is important to have a Mom Approved Travel Advisor that understands this and will curate a Universal Hollywood vacation for your family unique to their interests, thrill level, needs and wishes!
