About Me

One of the favorites on the seas!
One of the favorites on the seas!

Luxury, Storytelling, and Unforgettable Fun at Sea, that is what describes the Disney Fantasy. A true blend of elegant design, Broadway-caliber entertainment, and immersive Disney storytelling. From the moment you step on board, you’re greeted by grandeur, vibrant colors, and whimsical Disney details that make the ship feel like a floating resort filled with magic. Whether you’re traveling with little ones, adventurous teens, or adults who love Disney just as much, the Fantasy offers something truly unforgettable for every member of the family.

Dining at Sea
Dining on the Disney Fantasy is an experience in itself. Guests enjoy rotational dining, where each night brings a new themed restaurant while keeping the same serving team that knows your family’s preferences. Animator’s Palate dazzles with interactive shows that bring your table to life. At Royal Court, guests dine like royalty among glittering chandeliers and details inspired by Disney princesses. Enchanted Garden surrounds you with a serene, floral-inspired atmosphere that magically transforms from day to night. Beyond these signature restaurants, the ship offers quick-service dining by the pools, decadent desserts, specialty coffee, and 24-hour room service. Whether it’s an elegant dinner or a quick snack before the next show, every meal feels special on the Fantasy.

Entertainment & Character Experiences
Entertainment on the Fantasy sets the standard for family cruising. Broadway-style productions like Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular light up the stage, while deck parties bring fireworks at sea, music, and dancing under the stars. Families love the variety of character meet-and-greets, from Mickey and Minnie to Disney princesses, Marvel heroes, and even Star Wars favorites on themed sailings. Kids dive into the Oceaneer Club, teens enjoy their own hangouts, and adults can unwind in exclusive lounges or at the serene Senses Spa. Every day offers a new lineup of activities like trivia, cooking demos, game shows, and interactive storytelling, ensuring that no two days are ever the same.

Onboard Fun for All Ages
The Fantasy is packed with excitement for every age group. The AquaDuck water coaster is a guest favorite, sending riders high above the decks in a thrilling, clear-tube adventure over the ocean. Pools and splash zones keep kids entertained for hours, while family activities like crafts, karaoke, and scavenger hunts bring everyone together. Adults can find quiet escapes in the adults-only pool or relax in European-inspired lounges while the kids are off on their own adventures. The size of the ship means you’ll always find both lively spaces and peaceful corners to enjoy as you like.

Itineraries and Excursions
The Disney Fantasy primarily sails on 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, with stops that often include Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. Ports of call may feature destinations like Cozumel, Grand Cayman, St. Thomas, or St. Maarten, offering families a mix of relaxation and adventure ashore. With longer sailings, families get the chance to truly settle in, enjoying both the ship’s endless activities and magical port experiences. Whether it’s snorkeling in turquoise waters, shopping in vibrant local markets, or relaxing on Castaway Cay’s sandy beaches, every stop adds to the magic.

Why Book With Me
A Disney Fantasy cruise offers endless possibilities, and I help families make the most of every moment. From securing the best dining reservations and planning character experiences to crafting a balanced itinerary of shows, activities, and excursions, I ensure your cruise is seamless and stress-free. My goal is to help you focus on enjoying the magic—sharing meals, laughing at deck parties, meeting your favorite characters, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

Ready to set sail? Let me help you plan your Disney Fantasy cruise for the perfect mix of elegance, adventure, and Disney magic at sea!

A Magical Experience Thanks to Rachel! Rachel was an absolute dream to work with for our family’s recent trip to Disney World.

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.

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.

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!
