We haven’t even taken our Disney trip yet, but I already can’t say enough good things about working with Rachael! Planning Disney can feel overwhelming, but she has made the whole process easy, stress-free, and actually FUN. She’s been so patient answering all my (many!) questions, sharing insider tips, and helping us think through the best plans for our family with a toddler. I’ve truly enjoyed the planning stage thanks to her guidance and excitement—it feels like she’s just as invested in making this magical as we are.

She is a true PIXIE DUST PRO!
Reviewed By Keoni - California | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
A Magical Experience Thanks to Rachel! Rachel was an absolute dream to work with for our family’s recent trip to Disney World. From the very beginning, she brought warmth, expertise, and a genuine passion for making our vacation unforgettable. She helped us navigate every detail, from choosing the perfect lodging to recommending delicious dining options that fit our family’s tastes and budget. But what really set Rachel apart was her thoughtful planning of our park days. She knew exactly how to structure each day to maximize fun and minimize stress. Thanks to her tips, we avoided long lines, caught the best shows, and even found quiet moments to recharge. Her insider knowledge made all the difference. Rachel didn’t just plan a trip, she crafted an experience that felt effortless and magical. We can’t thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone looking to make the most of their Disney adventure. She’s a true pixie dust pro!

Disney is not for the faint of heart and we could not have made heads or tails of anything without Rachael's help! We would have been completely lost!

These are the moments I live for!

Disney Dream and exploring both private islands!

Just back from the Disney Dream, and what a magical mommy–daughter adventure it was! My daughter was about to turn 11, so we wanted to sail before her birthday so she could still enjoy the Oceaneer Club one more time. Since it was just the two of us (my husband couldn’t get off work), we tried something new—a cozy inside stateroom with a Magic P...

Tips and Tricks!
We were planning our first Disney vacation and Rachael made every step so easy and straight-forward, from recommending places to stay and packages to book, to providing the best deals, to jumping online at 6am to book every single reservation we wanted and then some! Our trip was truly magical thanks to Rachael! Any question we had, we texted to her and she responded lightning fast with not only the answers to our questions, but additional information that helped us even more! From answering questions related to our activities and the Disney app, to providing recommendations on where to watch the parade and Magic Kingdom fireworks (right below Tinkerbell flying!), to providing tips on what to look for during the fireworks that we would have otherwise missed, Rachael helped make our Disney vacation the absolute best! We can't wait to plan another vacation with you, Rachael! Thank you again! If you’re planning a Disney trip, do yourself a favor and reach out to her!
