Discovery Call
Sailing Itineraries/Voyage
Lengths
3 Nights
Perfect for nervous first-time sailors or for combining with a Walt Disney World trip. Short enough to feel manageable and long enough to fall completely in love with cruising.
4 Nights
A great entry-level option that gives you real time to experience the ship, explore a port or two, and actually relax. A wonderful introduction to what Disney Cruise Line is all about.
5 Nights
The sweet spot. Long enough to truly unwind and experience everything the ship has to offer without being away for a full week. Most 5-night itineraries include a stop at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island, and that alone is worth the sailing.
7 Nights
My most recommended sailing length, especially for first-timers who want to see faraway ports and have real time to decompress between stops. Seven nights give you the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and Disney magic at sea.
10 Nights
Typically reserved for international voyages, repositioning sailings, or true bucket list adventures. These longer sailings visit destinations like Europe, the Panama Canal, and the South Pacific. If you have done the shorter itineraries and you are ready for something truly extraordinary, a 10-night sailing will completely change how you think about travel.

Meet
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’ deluxe on-property resorts and have sailed every ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. I know how to translate my wealth of knowledge into 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!!
A few kind
words
If any of you are thinking about a Disney trip but have no idea where to even start, please reach out to Rachel. She makes your life as easy as possible by removing the stress of planning and literally helping make your dreams come true.
Disney is really the most magical place on earth, but I firmly believe I wouldn’t be able to say that as confidently if I hadn’t worked with Rachel to plan our trip. She’s extremely easy to work with and will take the utmost care of you. I cannot recommend her enough.
Rachel has been wonderful to work with! She has planned our last 3 trips and although my family and I have been to WDW countless times, she always has extra tips and tricks and keeps me up to date on all that is new, and the ever changing technology! The webinars helped this year transitioning to the new lightning lane system, which allowed us to utilize our time doing what the kids really enjoyed with little to no wait time in lines. I also love the ease of having all of my park days and dining reservations planned out for me! Our favorites have been coordinating our Bibbidi bobbidi boutique reservations with Cinderella’s Royal Table and intro to Minnie Vans! She always has great recommendations and answers all of my questions-even while we are on property. I highly recommend her!
I cannot recommend Rachel Tilves enough!! She was a gift straight from the Lord!! She not only is very knowledgeable in what she does, she does it with great passion-wanting you and your family to enjoy WDW and more, each other! By the time our trip was here, she felt like a best friend!! And she was available to help us even during our trip!!
Our family will have THE fondest memories of this sweet opportunity!! And forever be grateful for ALL that Rachel recommended and did for US!!!
Book a trip NOW, you won’t be sorry!!
The F family loves you, Rachel Tilves!!!!!
Can’t wait to plan another adventure with you!!!!
The numbers of times I looked at my husband during our Disney trip and said:
“Thank Goodness for Rachel!” was honestly insane. Her advise, expertise, promptness, kindness – all of it – made the entire planning of this trip so easy! And all of the education she provided before, as well as real time help while we were in the parks/traveling, made our first time visiting Disney SO MUCH less stressful. It was an amazing experience. I will never go back to Disney without Rachel’s help! Thank you,
Rachel, for everything!!!
This was our first time using a travel agent and Rachel exceeded our expectations! We will be using her for all future trips. Utilizing a travel agent made it SO much easier on us as a family – she did absolutely everything for us!
This was our very first cruise and Rachel was SO knowledgeable and was able to answer every single question we had. On top of that, she helped ease my anxiety of the overall trip. She was honest and upfront. We truly fell in love with DCL & 1 look forward to future cruises!
What I thoroughly enjoyed during the process was Rachel mailing us a folder with everything we needed; light card, itinerary, lanyards – it really had it all! We used that folder all week and kept our passports in it!
I truly cannot say enough good things about Rachel. She was there for my family every step of the way & “held my hand” throughout the whole thing. She is the absolute best!
Thanks so much, Rachel! I work in travel too, and regularly correspond with a lot of travel advisors. It’s clear that you are very good at what you do and authentic with your enthusiasm. We’re grateful for your assistance and appreciate all your help with our trips. By that, I mean I’m grateful that you make it so easy for M and R, since I’m just kind of along for the ride
