About Me

They only stay little for a short while...
They only stay little for a short while...

Even though I call Ohio home, Disneyland holds a special place in my heart as the original park where the magic began. Over the years, I’ve helped countless families plan their dream vacations to Disneyland, ensuring every detail is tailored to their unique style and wishes. From magical first visits to family traditions that grow year after year, I love helping guests experience the wonder, history, and charm that only Disneyland can offer.

I’ve traveled during many different seasons, but my favorite times of year at Disneyland are Halloween and Christmas. My family LOVES to travel in October during my daughter’s fall break to go to Oogie Boogie Bash. I can never get enough of how Disney California Adventure transforms with spooky lighting, incredible parades, and rare character encounters that you don’t see any other time of year. On the other hand, the Christmas season is pure magic—the twinkling lights, the festive décor, and the moment snow begins to fall on Main Street, U.S.A. There’s truly nothing more enchanting than dancing in the snow and making memories with your family.

When planning your trip, I’ll guide you through securing park reservations, choosing the perfect place to stay, and crafting a plan that makes the most of your time. Whether you’re looking at the convenience of on-property resorts or exploring the many Good Neighbor Hotels nearby, I walk you through each step. With so many choices—and not all hotels created equal—it can feel overwhelming, but I make it simple to find the perfect fit for your family.

Beyond lodging and reservations, I share tips and strategies to help you navigate both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. From must-do attractions and seasonal entertainment to dining highlights and character experiences, I make sure your vacation reflects what matters most to you.

Disneyland isn’t just a park—it’s the place “where it all started” and a chance to create magical memories you’ll cherish forever. Helping families discover that magic and make it their own is what I love most. So reach out today and let’s start planning—after all, as Peter Pan said, “All it takes is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust.”

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. If you’re even thinking about a Disney trip, I can’t recommend Rachael enough!

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!

Best. Trip. Ever
Reviewed By aundria_nicole - Lake Orion, MI | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
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! She helped us every step of the way, and was even answering questions while we were there, while SHE was on vacation! Could not recommend enough and when we go back, we'll definitely be reaching out for her help again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

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!
