Your Builder Portal is going to be your best friend from the time you get placed on your trip to the moment you leave to the airport this summer. We have plenty of “tips and tricks” to help you best utilize the portal this year.
The Dashboard
The Dashboard is the landing page for all the updated information that you need to know as you prepare for your trip.
Pro Tip: For parents that have more than one child going on an HXP trip, make sure you are on the correct Builder portal by checking the drop down on the green bar at the top of the page.
Pro Tip: The email you used to log in is the name that shows up at the top of your portal. This does not mean you are in the wrong account. Parents at home and Builder accounts are linked.
