Looking for a little West Coast Magic?

Our beloved Upon A Star Travel owner Upon A Star Jenn has been out and about in the Disneyland and California Adventure parks over the last few days, and shared some fantastic shots of some iconic spots...

I do miss me some Disneyland -- and if you do as well, yes, I book Disneyland packages!!!

UPDATE ON WAIT TIMES...

One of the fears about losing the Virtual Queues for both Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is that both wait times would be in the triple digits all day long.

On Day Two of No VQ (hey, that rhymes!), checking just now - 345p CST - both times aren't short... but neither are unreasonable or insane. I checked much of the day yesterday, saw Guardians jumped up to 170 minutes -- but then mostly had between 50 and 80 minute waits.

So don't be afraid of the standby! Or if you want Tiana's, get it via Lightning Lane with your Multi Pass, and if you want Guardians, just get it as a Single Pass attraction!

The Festival of the Arts is now over... but coming soon, Epcot's Flower & Garden Festival!

The food booths, the Garden Rocks concert series, Guardians with a standby line, and the incredible topiaries throughout the park!

Many faves are returning - Tink, Miguel & Dante, Simba and more, plus Phineas & Ferb make their return after several years absence!

The Festival kicks off March 5, running through June 2!

Big Magical Thanks to the G Fam who contacted me in January for a last minute cruise!

Spending several days on the Disney Wish, you can see the family enjoyed Castaway Cay, Marvel dining, and some great character meet ups! And even some snorkeling (not pictured)!

It’s never too late to reach out for your trip - in the last week alone I’ve booked trips for Summer 2026 and mid-March 2025 and all in between.

Let’s get your trip on!

Who remembers the glory that was Epcot’s walkways back in the day? I enjoy the new lights… but I miss these!

BREAKING NEWS...

Virtual Queues will be fully gone from Walt Disney World (for now, anyway) next week!

Starting February 25th, both Guardians of the Galaxy and Tiana's Bayou Adventure will be available as both Lightning Lane and Standby Lines!

Tiana's opened up last June, and has previously been been available first as Virtual Queue only, then as VQ and as Lightning Lane Multi Pass selection. The LL will remain, but the standby line will be open.

Guardians has been around for 3 years, and has only been available as Virtual Queue and as a purchase in the (now) Single Pass Lightning Lane option. While the Single Pass option will still be available (it will not be an option as a regular Lightning Lane attraction), the standby line will open up for guests willing to wait!

Get your standing shoes ready -- lines for both are likely to be long, but finally, no more getting up at 7a just to secure your spots!

(Expect VQ to return in the coming years with new attractions opening up all over Walt Disney World)

Disneyland's 70th anniversary is coming this summer!

And there is A LOT of celebrations coming to The Happiest Place on Earth, including:

A tribute to the Sherman Brothers
A collaboration with the Walt Disney Museum to display Walt centric historical artifacts, video, and pics
"Walt Disney: A Magical Life" opening at the Main Street Open House, which includes the new Walt Disney animatronic

Disneyland turns 70 on July 17th!

And yes -- I book Disneyland! Ready to party like its 1955? Let's go!

Upon entering Disneyland park, the first land you step into is the quaint Main Street, U.S.A. Inspired in part by Walt Disney’s hometown of Marceline, Missouri, Main Street recreates the unique charm of small-town America at the turn of the 20th century, filled with hope and optimism.  As we gear...

2025's Season of the Force is coming back to Disneyland!! The Star Wars celebration kicks off in Disneyland park's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge (lovingly nicknamed "Batuu West") on March 28, running through May 11th!

Starting off the event is "Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga", which puts stunning projections onto the spires of Batuu near the Millennium Falcon, featuring great moments in galactic history as well as an iconic musical score.

Also coming to Galaxy's Edge for the first time... an unnamed shadowy figure -- but we all know its Luke, right? Right.

On select nights, the sky will light up with “Fire of the Rising Moons” is a nighttime showcase of fireworks and music and more.

Over in Tomorrowland, Hyperspace Mountain returns as a Space Mountain overlay... while in Star Tours, you can now experience over 250 different story combinations when scenes from "Ahsoka", "Andor" and "The Mandalorian" take shape in your adventure.

You can even experience a new storyline in Savi's Workshop with a different selection of parts to build your saber in a story called "Reclaimed and Reforge"

And of course, merch... retro shirts, new spirit jerseys and baseball jerseys, headbands with Star Wars characters, and much more.

And so much more happening this Spring at Disneyland in California!

Ready for your own galactic California adventure? Send me a message and let's get you flying!

BOOKED!

So excited to send the extended F Family down to Animal Kingdom Lodge in early summer this year!

Animal Kingdom Lodge is inspired by the traditional African kraal, with a horseshoe-curved design providing spectacular views of 4 lush savannas with over 200 hoofed animals and birds.

Enjoy the pool areas, exciting animal programs and one of the largest collections of African art in the United States as you experience your own African safari adventure with a touch of Disney magic.

AND.. TODAY (monday) is the FINAL day of FREE DINING! We can get your trip on AKL, or any Disney resort, and EAT FOR FREE!

(but there are other promos available, and I will ALWAYS work to save you the MOST money, whether it's with Free Dining or other promos!)

TWO YEARS AGO I had the chance to cruise on the Disney Wish for an amazing travel agent meet-up - and it was so, so fantastic.

I've had previously only sailed the Wonder (in 2004, for my honeymoon) so the Wish was such a cool experience.

From dining in Arendelle to doing a 5K on Castaway Cay to the Hyperspace Lounge (no, I didn't get the $5,000 drink....), I cannot wait to sail again! (which I will do on the Disney Fantasy in a few months!)

Summer 2026 cruise itineraries out now, but there is plenty of sailings THIS year - who's ready to set sail?!?

Disney Cruise Line Itineraries are now revealed for SUMMER 2026!!

Alaska! The Caribbean! The Mediterranean! Norway! Singapore! Soon-to-be EIGHT ships traveling at ports worldwide!

Booking begins on Monday for Pearl Castaway Club members, and continues through the week for other Castaway Club members, DVC, Golden Oak, and AbD Insiders and finally, general booking on February 17th.

But don't wait! Booking early gets you the dates you want, the cabin category and ship location you want, the itinerary you want and know that prices will only go up over time -- I'm already working on an Alaskan trip for late Summer 2026 today!

An amazing look-see into Spaceship Earth...

In a scene that usually goes by in a few seconds, check out the full view of the "San Francisco Garage"

The rumor is that the figure might be Steve Jobs or Steve Wozniak... but Disney's official line is that it's not "An Apple Founder", instead, its "a tribute to all the geeks who toil in California garages."

See anything else cool in the garage??
