Meet Your Travel Specialist
Rachel
I live with my husband and daughter in Northeast Ohio. I am an Independent Contractor with the travel agency, Small World BIG FUN, a small woman-owned boutique agency. We are classified by Disney as a “Platinum Earmarked Agency”, which is one of the highest regarded agency statuses that can be earned with the Walt Disney Travel Company.
I take a lot of pride in being high touch, hands-on, and being incredibly up to date on the current offerings, processes, and available experiences for all the destinations I book. I have personally visited Disney Destinations—including Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line—more than 150 times. Realistically, I’m in a Disney Destination every 4-6 weeks. Universal Studios has become a passion of mine as well over the last few years as my family has gotten older. I truly know these destinations inside and out. I have been fortunate enough to stay in all the Disney Parks’ on-property resorts and have sailed every ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. I know how to translate my wealth of knowledge and translate it to a vacation perfectly designed for your family. Chances are, if you have a question about a VIP experience, hotel, restaurant, or attraction, I’ve done it.
When I’m not working or traveling, you’ll find me in my garage powerlifting or in my kitchen cooking and baking. I’m a busy mom who values “casual luxury”, loves a good dad joke, and could eat a steak for every meal. I can’t wait to meet you!!
Professional Planning Services
Every family and every vacation is different. We will discuss how my services will be tailored to fit your needs during our Discovery Call.
MY TRAVELERS RECEIVE

The vacations I plan for my families are highly collaborative. No two travelers are the same–I get to know my travelers on a personal level to find out what really matters to them. I get to work making sure you are matched with the optimal experience for you.
V.I.P. Treatment
When we work together to plan your vacation, you have ONE point person who knows your name when you call and who knows what questions to answer before you even think to ask them.
Peace of Mind
Working with me ensures you have someone committed to you and is deeply invested in your happiness every step of the way. Should you run into any travel issues, rest easy knowing I’m working behind the scenes, advocating on your behalf to find solutions as quickly as possible.
