Rich & Melissa- Show You the World Travel Agency Hi! We are Rich and Melissa Racioppa and we have been traveling together for more than 30 years. This makes us the perfect people to help you plan any vacation!

We are excited to share our expertise with you and help you create your own memories. We have three amazing children who are always up for a new adventure and many of our favorite family memories were created during our travels. Most years, we take at least three different trips, with at least one of them being Disney! When it comes to Walt Disney World (WDW) planning and experiences, there is not

much we haven’t done. Our visits have ranged from a one-day, 4 parks visit where we rode all the mountains to a three-week trip where we had time to explore every nook and cranny of WDW! During these trips, we have participated in many of the WDW special events and celebrations including Epcot’s Wine and Dine and the Flower and Garden Festival, Run Disney Events, Back Stage tours, Halloween and Christmas celebrations. We also love the variety and immersive experiences of Disney restaurants and try new ones for every visit in addition to returning to our favorites. For most trips, we do travel with our children and extended family, but we do also enjoy a DWC (Disney without Children) visit now and then. No matter what kind of Disney vacation you are imagining we will love to help you plan! Not only can we help you with tickets, accommodations, and restaurant reservations but we have so many tips and suggestions that will make your vacation magical. If you are looking to experience places beyond WDW, we are also experienced in Universal Studios (Orlando and California) and Disney Land in both California and Paris! While Disney is definitely our number one destination, we also love to travel to new and exciting places. We have been to England, France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Mexico, Hawaii, and California just to name a few. Our favorite way to travel is by cruising and have been on multiple cruises. Over the years have also traveled up and down the east coast including the mid-Atlantic and New England states. We would love the opportunity to help you to plan a trip to some of our favorite places like the Outer Banks, Washington DC, Virginia Beach, Myrtle Beach, New York City, Boston, Toronto, Vermont, Ogunquit, and Camden Maine

Our experiences make us the perfect people to help you plan any vacation!

Friday Fun Fact!
Clocking in at 21 mins and 35 seconds, The Hall of Presidents is the longest running attraction in Magic Kingdom (which makes it a great place to cool off and take a midday break!)

The shortest running ride is the Barnstormer Roller coaster whos crazy twists and turns only take 1 min and 3 seconds!

Friday Fun Fact (Halloween Version)

In the Haunted Mansion, the Stretching Room is one of the most memorable parts, but what is actually happening? Is it a secret elevator? Is the room actually stretching?

It all depends on what park you are! In Disney World the room is truly stretching and the ceiling is going up. At the Disneyland you are actually inside an elevator and the floor is going down!

Friday Fun Fact!

At exactly 189 feet, Cinderella Castle is the tallest structure in Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park. The height of the castle was very intentional. If it was 190 feet, it would need a red, flashing aircraft beacon on top of it which would have ruined a lot of pictures!

In comparison, Sleeping Beauty's castle in Disneyland is only 77 feet! Here is Alexis in California

Answer: Very Soon! Starting in November 2021, WDW is bringing back indoor meet-and-greets with Disney characters! However, there are still some safety measures in place. All guests need to wear a mask, maintain social distancing from the characters, and hugs and autographs aren't yet allowed.
