Disney World Frontierland 2025
Now more than ever, planning a trip to Disney Destination like Disney World and Disneyland can be a very complex and stressful process. I am here to make the planning process as pain-less and stress-free as possible so that you can just look forward to and then enjoy your great vacation! I use my expertise visiting all the US Disney theme parks to help you plan a vacation that fits your family, whether you are traveling as a couple, a family, or a large multi-family group.
In addition to Disney's theme park vacation destinations, I have traveled to and plan trips to all Disney destinations, Disney’s Aulani resort in Hawaii, Vero Beach and Hilton Head plus Disney Cruise Line. Visiting a Disney resort outside of Disneyland and Walt Disney World allows you to enjoy a beach vacation with exceptional Disney service and Disney characters in a more relaxed environment. Vacationing on Disney Cruise Line allows you to enjoy a premium cruise experience with your family with special touches you can expect from Disney.

Nothing but the best!!!!
Reviewed By Angel and Kallie - Belleville, IL | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Sally is always so easy to work with! She is efficient, easy to get ahold of, and handles any changes with the utmost professionalism. We would not have gone on our trips if it wasn’t for her advice and efforts. She’s a wealth of information and her reviews are always on point. We always recommend her to anyone wanting a fantastic getaway. We will definitely book with her again and again! From the beginning idea of taking a trip to making it personal and special for us, Sally was always wonderful. We booked our honeymoon with her to El Dorado Maroma and it was more amazing than we ever imagined! The room was above what we would have booked for ourselves and included a private pool! She made sure the staff knew it was our honeymoon (and my birthday) and we were treated every night with special desserts and treats and decorations. A truly special experience for my husband and me.

Another great trip by Wish Upon A Star with Sally
Reviewed By JC - Edwardsville, Illinois | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
We just returned from a Hawaii cruise, set up by Sally. She did an EXCELLENT job! I have lost count how many times we have used Sally and Wish Upon a Star, and each and every time is a wonderful experience. She coordinates everything, sets everything up, all planned out, thinks of things we may have missed. Very much worth contacting her!

Honeymoon in Paradise
Reviewed By TL618 - Swansea, IL | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
We asked Sally to help us book our dream honeymoon. We had heard from friends about her attentiveness and expansive knowledge. She came highly recommended from a few friends that had booked trips with her in the past. I am so glad we picked Sally to help us put together our dream trip.
