I had a call with a lovely woman on Friday who was concerned that we were too late to the party to book a Walt Disney World vacation for this summer. Not only was I able to reassure her that we were on a perfect timeline for planning summer vacations; because she included her desired travel dates in her appointment notes, I noticed there was still quite a bit of resort availability AND discounts still available. Let’s get your summer vacation plans organized! I’m here to help. 🙂

If you booked your vacation and are now having an “oh crap” moment, have no fear!! While I cannot advise on vacations I did not book, we might still be able to make it work. The answer is definitely a no if you don’t ask, so don’t hesitate to shoot me a note! ❤️

Whether it’s your first trip or your 100th, I’m here to walk you through every step of the process!! I can be as “hands on” or “hands off” as you’d like, but it is so nice to have an expert in your back pocket. 😉

New Year, New Intro Post!

Hi there! My name is Rachel Tilves. I’m a travel agent with Small World BIG FUN and have been since 2018. We are a boutique, woman owned agency who has earned Platinum Earmarked and High Disney Affinity Status with the Walt Disney Travel Company.

I live in Ohio with my husband and our daughter. You’ll see me lovingly refer to them as my OG and Junior Assistants. We’re off on an adventure realistically about once a month. I pride myself on having tons of first hand knowledge of the destinations I book for travelers!

🙌🏻 Fun Fact: I’ve stayed in every Walt Disney World resort. I’ve sailed every ship and I’m a Platinum level Castaway Club Member with Disney Cruise Line.

I specialize in:
🏰 On Property Walt Disney World Vacation Packages
🚢 Disney Cruise Line
🏰 Disneyland
🛩️ Adventures By Disney
🏝️ Aulani: A Disney Resort and Spa in Hawaii
🌎 Universal Studios Orlando and Hollywood

‼️ If you don’t see your desired travel destination on this list, send me a message anyway!! The agency I work with has agents that specialize in destinations all around the world. I’ll get you with the best fit ‼️

So how does this work?
✨ Schedule a time to chat via my website
✨ We talk about your vacation vision - where do you want to go? What does this experience look like for you?
✨ I put together some package options for you and tweak it until we find the ideal fit
✨ I handle all the details and deadlines for your destination. Dining reservations, payments, the works.
✨ I build an itinerary custom to your family just before you travel. I give you a chance to read it and ask questions. Then I’m available should you need any back up during travel.

Looking forward to meeting the next wave of families!! Don’t hesitate to holler with questions. 😊

Close your eyes and imagine your dream Disney vacation. You probably see places—a specific park, a timeless ride, a luxury cruise, or even a vibrant safari. But you probably also see faces—the joy, laughter, and smiles of the ones you love most.

As an expert with over 100 Disney experiences under my belt, I know that your dream vacation isn’t just about getting from point to point—it’s about all the little, magical moments in-between. When it comes to a Disney vacation, there’s always something new and exciting to experience, ensuring that no two visits are ever the same. But with over 300,000 possible vacation packages, it’s not just about finding an option that fits your budget and schedule—it’s about finding the perfect fit.

I’ve been in love with everything Disney ever since I first marveled at Cinderella’s Castle as a wide-eyed two-year-old. After graduating from Kent State University, I knew it was time to put my passion to work. Having traveled to Disney as a runDisney athlete, a honeymooner, part of a herd of extended family, and even a solo mom of a rambunctious three-year-old, I know how important it is to be present in every moment of your vacation instead of micromanaging details and deadlines. So whether you’re looking for insider strategies to chart your own course or a bespoke, white-glove service that lets you sit back and enjoy your time with your loved ones, I’m the travel agent for you. I’ve got the tools, tips, and tricks that not only get you into exclusive, big-ticket experiences, but also ensure that you don’t miss out on any of the magical moments in-between.

If you’re ready to make the most of your park visit, set sail on a first-class cruise, embark on a globetrotting quest through Adventures by Disney, or even soak up some Hawaiian goodness at Aulani, let’s talk! We’ll get to work building out your dream vacation and equipping you with everything you need to be prepped, punctual, and present through every stage of your adventure!

Did you know I host a webinar on how to use Disney technology? As part of the webinar, we talk EXTENSIVELY about maximizing your time in the parks using the Lightning Lane system. I teach you how to avoid standing in standby lines all day. When you’re prepared, your experience is so much more smooth.

Fun fact: I send “welcome home” cards to every family that I work with. I encourage them to write me back and tell me all about it!! I LOVE seeing what everyone comes up with. Sometimes I get drawings, sometimes I get extra paper, it’s SO GREAT! My job is more than just “booking vacations” - it’s about building relationships! 🥰

Well OK in fairness they might come to me this way, but after they tell me about their family preferences and I send over a list of suggestions (with links to the menus for them to review), they’re feeling SO much better! Fun fact: did you know I handle booking Advanced Dining and Enchanting Extras Reservations on behalf of all my travelers? No 6am wake up calls for families that hire me to help plan their vacations! 😂❤️

If you want to experience all that Universal has to offer, it is IMPERATIVE that you have the correct type of ticket! Did you know that the Hogwarts Express takes you between two theme parks, so you MUST have Park to Park tickets. You’re just doing yourself a disservice if you don’t get to experience both lands of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter…and just a few more months until it’s three lands! Woohoo!

I think it’s really easy for families to associate a “Disney trip” with the need for a week+ of travel. That’s not always the case! Long weekend trips can be just as magical! Depending on the destination, there are so many possibilities!
⭐️ Disneyland is a fraction of the size of Walt Disney World. You can experience all there is to see and do in 3-4 days if you’re working at a faster pace.
⭐️ If you’re unsure about cruising, a 3 night cruise is a phenomenal place to start! You’ll get a feel for the ship and all that Disney Cruise Line has to offer onboard (and get to see their private island in the Bahamas!)
⭐️ Walt Disney World is a beast. Seeing and doing every single thing would take weeks. But if you’re wanting to dip your toes in the water to get a lay of the land for a bigger trip or take advantage of a weekend off school and a quick non-stop flight to do the Halloween party, it’s worth it!

I’m a big “put your money where your mouth is” person. My family and I long weekend to Disney Destinations all the time…looking at my calendar, like once a month. 😂 It’s a ton of fun and gives you a taste of Disney without a huge commitment. You can absolutely do this - and I would love to help!
