Frequently asked questions
Questions about using the tools.
How the tools work, what we do with your data, and how accurate the numbers are.
Is Mouse Trip Tools free?
Yes. Every tool is free to use with no account required. Some links to recommended gear are affiliate links, which earn a small commission at no cost to you — that's what keeps the site free.
Do you store any of my information?
No. The tools run entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter — names, heights, party size, budgets — is sent to a server or saved anywhere. When you close the page, it's gone.
Do I need to sign up or create an account?
No signup, no email, no account. Open a tool and start — every answer takes about a minute.
How accurate are the cost and timing estimates?
They're planning ranges based on publicly observable 2026 pricing and typical crowd patterns — not live quotes. Always confirm exact prices and dates on Disney's official site before booking. We review the numbers regularly and date them so you know how current they are.
Are you affiliated with Disney?
No. Mouse Trip Tools is an independent, fan-made planning site — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Walt Disney Company. Attraction and park names are used for factual reference only.
How do the affiliate links work?
Some shopping pages (Last-Minute Essentials and Hidden Gems) link to products on Amazon. If you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only list things we'd actually recommend.
Which tool should I start with?
If you don't have dates yet, start with Best Time to Visit. If dates are set, try the Cost Estimator or the Height Checker. You can see all nine on the homepage.
