Kelli Trickey

Kelli Hendrix Trickey has been creating magical vacations with Small World BIG FUN since 2012, turning a passion for planning her own family’s Disney adventures into a career she loves. After spending more than a decade organizing unforgettable trips to Walt Disney World for her family, helping others make lifelong memories was a natural next step.

Kelli has been married to her college sweetheart, Bart, for nearly 35 years. Together they’ve raised four amazing sons, welcomed two wonderful daughters-in-law into the family, and are now enjoying life with their precious grandson.

A lifelong Disney fan, Kelli fell in love with Disney as a child watching The Wonderful World of Disney. Since her first visit to Walt Disney World in 1989, she’s returned multiple times almost every year, experiencing countless magical moments along the way. Some of her favorites include watching three of her sons march down Main Street, U.S.A. with their high school bands, cheering on one son during his Disney College Program, and now visiting a niece who is a Disney Cast Member.

Kelli and her family have stayed at every Disney Resort hotel, with Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort among their favorites. They’re also devoted Disney Cruise Line fans and never pass up the chance to visit Universal Orlando Resort, especially since the whole family shares a love of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

These days, as almost-empty nesters, Kelli and Bart have expanded their travels beyond Disney to include destinations like Mexico, the Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, and cruises on several different cruise lines. But Disney will always feel like home.

When she’s not planning vacations or traveling herself, Kelli enjoys quilting, sewing, cooking, reading, playing video games, cheering on the Razorbacks, and spending time with her cats. She especially loves helping large and multi-generational families create stress-free vacations and has extensive experience planning trips for travelers with significant food allergies, ensuring every member of the family can relax and enjoy the magic.
