Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with their vacations, supported me through this business venture, and booked a trip with me. 2024 has been a wonderful year! So excited to ring in 2025 and plan more trips for my amazing clients!

As this year comes to a close, I want to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you who supported Wishing on a Star Travel, not only this year, but in all the years past. We simply could never thank you enough for your support and allowing our business to flourish and thrive the way it has ❤

We had the privilege of working with 2,615 families to create their dream vacations - everything from Disney destinations, Universal Studios, cruises, all-inclusive travel, Hawaii, Alaska and Europe. We are honored you chose us to help create memories for your families! What an amazing achievement!

As we enter 2025, we are excited to share our achievements with you! Wishing on a Star Travel has been named the following:

🏆For the 6th year, we have been named a Gold-Level Authorized Disney Vacation Planner by Disney Destinations. Our continued dedication and knowledge of the brand has earned us the highest distinction that Disney offers its travel partners, and I could not be prouder of this accomplishment!

🏆For the 4th year, we have been named a Silver-Level U-Preferred Agency with Universal Studios. Our continuing dedication to this brand has allowed our Universal business to grow over the years and has opened up so many opportunities for us with Universal. We are tremendously grateful for their partnership!

🏆For the 3rd year, we have been named an Elite Agency with Apple Leisure Group, moving from Sapphire Elite to Emerald Elite! The leader in all-inclusive vacations, with brands such as Funjet Vacations and Apple Vacations under their umbrella, we value our partnership with this brand and are excited to be named an Emerald Elite Agency!

🏆For the 2nd year, we have been named a Sandals and Beaches Preferred Travel Agency. We are so excited for this designation as our business with Sandals and Beaches has grown at an amazing rate this last year! Our guests love the resort options that Sandals and Beaches offer, as well as the true all-inclusive amenities you'll find at these locations!

To all of the agents of Wishing on a Star Travel - THANK YOU! Thank you for your dedication to this agency, your partnership and friendship! None of what we have would be possible without you! You truly are valued and appreciated, and I look forward to watching your continued success in 2025!

When you are planning your future travels, please consider supporting a small business to do so. Our pricing is exactly the same as if you booked direct - the difference is our knowledge, training, onsite experience and expertise. That is something you won't find by using a call center or booking on your own. We are trained on the destinations we sell, but more importantly, we actually travel, frequently, to the destinations we sell. That first-hand experience is key in ensuring your vacation is perfectly planned!
