My handwriting isn’t what it used to be, but my heart is still in the mail and I am tired of trying to make the "perfect" reel or post, so I've started a weekly letter called The Strategic Pause, which of course, includes a "travel note" with travel tips from me. I would love to stay in closer touch with you there.

Magical Day at Disney’s Magic Kingdom 🏰✨
What we did:

🍳 A Grand Start: We began at the Grand Floridian Cafe. Whether you crave the Avocado Toast, the Bananas Foster Steel Cut Oatmeal, or the Pineapple Orange Guava Stuffed French Toast, this is the fuel you need for a big day.
🎢 The Must-Rides: From the high-tech thrills of TRON Lightcycle / Run to the nostalgia of “it’s a small world,” we cover it all. My personal circuit includes Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and a visit to the 999 happy haunts at the Haunted Mansion.
🍦 The Mandatory Snack: It is not a Disney day without a Dole Whip. Period.
🍴 Dinner with a Side of Giggles: We head to Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen. The food is incredible, but the Skipper jokes are what make it a family favorite. You know I love puns!
🎆 The Grand Finale: We wrap up with the stunning Disney Starlight Parade. There is nothing quite like seeing the park glow as you browse the shops on Main Street for that perfect souvenir.

Ready to stop dreaming and start packing? Your family time is vital. Let me handle the complex details and health-conscious planning while you focus on the memories.

I have a confession: Leaving Universal wasn't actually that sad. Why? Because we were heading straight to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa!
Here is why this resort is a total mood:
• 🏰 The Easy Route: You can literally walk right into Magic Kingdom.
• 🚝 Monorail Magic: Zip over to Epcot or Magic Kingdom in minutes.
• 🌙 Bonus Time: Extra evening hours at the parks just for staying at a deluxe resort.
• 🍝 Foodie Heaven: The dining options are top-tier.
• ☁️ Cloud Nine: The bedding and theming are beyond fabulous.
It is the perfect spot to stop worrying about the details and start focusing on the fun.
Whether we are gliding on the Skyliner or cruising on the Monorail, I’m here for all of it! What’s your favorite way to move in the magic? 🏰✨

Our day at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure was a perfect mix of high-speed thrills and those small, but epic details that make a trip. Our day of adventure included:
• 🏍️ My Favorite: Hopped on Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure—my favorite ride in Islands of Adventure!
• ⚡ The Big Thrills: Kids conquered the VelociCoaster, The Hulk, and Revenge of the Mummy.
• 🚲 The Nostalgic Classic: Took a flight with E.T. to visit his home planet. It is a personal favorite that always brings a smile to my face.
• 🍺 The Sweetest Break: Enjoyed some cold Butterbeer while taking a strategic pause to soak in the atmosphere. The theming here in Hogsmead is incredible.
• ✨ Neat Finds: Browsed the shops for wands, spells, and potions!
• 🎢 The Result: A tired, but happy group. I also love those little moments of catching up when waiting in line, having a snack or meal together because with work, school, and their afternoon activities, family meals are tough to fit in unless someone wants dinner at 9:30pm🤪

Life is a gift which I didn’t fully appreciate until it was almost too late so I’m forever making up for last time and trying to spend time on the things that bring joy, laughter, and love. Reach out if I can help you plan your next adventure! ❤️

🤗Trading the “To-Do” List for the To-Do-EPIC List! 🎢

Our first day at Epic Universe was obviously epic. Taking a strategic pause from the daily routine and into a world built entirely for wonder. From the crazy thrills to the incredible atmosphere, it was a day filled with sunshine, squeals, and laughter. Oh, and don’t forget the cones - of Mac and cheese! 🧀

EPIC memories made for sure! 🥰

Take me back to last week! 🌊

While I’m back in the land of snow and ice today, my heart is still catching those Caribbean rays from February school vacation. This trip was the perfect blend of what matters most: rest, relaxation, and deep connection with my family.

But, as any true travel expert knows, the "research" never really stops! 🕵️‍♀️ Between the splashes and the sunshine, I was busy scouting every detail—from the pristine shores of Castaway Cay to the best lounge spots on deck—to ensure your next getaway is nothing short of extraordinary.

At Chris Upon A Star Travel, I believe life is precious and time is our most valuable currency. I’m so grateful for the moments we captured (like trading snowballs for "sandballs"!), and I can’t wait to share more of this warm-weather inspiration with you all as we defrost together.

Dreaming of your next family adventure? Let’s chat and turn those dreams into memories. 🥂✨
