Easiest Disney Trip!
Reviewed By KGarst - Orangeburg, SC | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Rachael made a big trip with a large group so much easier! We have three groups of people all with different stays and she made everything happen with ease. Our first trip was so stressful with making sure we didn’t miss booking times and got everything we wanted. Rachael reached out constantly letting us know when we needed to give her our must dos or places to eat and gave recommendations when we needed them as well. Even changed all of our reservations when I deal came out after we booked and saved us over $1,000! It was so nice to have someone who was looking out for us and wanted our trip to be perfect for us! Can’t wait to book our next trip through her! (Could not find Disney World on the list

The ONLY Way to Travel!
Reviewed By TXGinger84 - College Station, TX | Traveled to Cozumel | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Having Rachael plan our trip was the BEST decision we could have made. As a family of four, with one special needs son, travelling can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. When we told her we wanted to take a family cruise, but had reservations because of our son's autism, she showed empathy and understanding. She gave us all the information we needed to make things go smoothly and made arrangements to ensure his needs/accommodations would be met. Our trip was better than I imagined it would have been and our kids keep asking for the next one! Can't wait to have her plan our next family vacation and you should, too!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An Unforgettable Cruise Thanks to Rachael!"
Reviewed By TheAdamDrake - College Station, TX | Traveled to Cozumel | Quintana Roo | Mexico
We had the most amazing experience working with Rachael Cole - Discover the Magic Vacations for our family cruise last summer! From start to finish, Rachael took care of everything—making sure our passports were in order, securing us a fantastic room on the ship, and even helping us navigate all the little details that made a big difference. One of the highlights was her incredible recommendation for our stop in Cozumel—it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the whole trip! Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care for making our vacation unforgettable really stood out. 12 out of 10 would recommend! We’re already looking forward to booking our next adventure with her. Thank you, Rachael!

    Family Ski Trip
    Rachael literally saved my life with this trip!! It is my dads last vacation due to him getting older and less active so he wanted to go back to Colorado to snow board like he used to. My dad put me in charge of the trip and I had NO idea where to start. Then came Rachael!!! She took care of EVERYTHING for us and made sure everything was set. We ended up having a cancelled flight due to weather, a missed flight, and 3 delays due to the weather… and Rachael was ON IT every step before I even knew. My dad absolutely loved our family trip and I couldn’t have done it without Rachael. And since I’ve never planned a trip before, I asked her all the questions, even the silly ones and she was just awesome. Definitely will be using her for all my 2023 trips Breckenridge, CO checked off my bucket list

    NYC Theatre Tour
    Rachael booked my recent trip to NYC. The hotel location was perfect. Subway stop on the corner. Manhattan Diner right next door. Less than 4 blocks to Central Park. She even checked in, during the trip to make sure everything was going great- it was! Ellis Island, Music Man with Hugh Jackman!, Ground Zero, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, Ellen’s Stardust Diner, Junior’s- best cheesecake ever, and wonderful memories were made with the best friends on the planet. Thank you again Rachael for everything.
