Who says the grown-ups have to plan the vacation?
In a bold and seriously adorable move, Visit Anaheim has just launched the Imaginagency, the world's first travel agency run entirely by kids, and it's as fun and imaginative as it sounds.
Even better? It's led in part by actress, entrepreneur, and full-on mom boss , along with her kids Cree and Cairo Mowry-Hardrict.
'I'm thrilled to partner with Visit Anaheim on this fun, imaginative project,' Tia Mowry said. 'Anaheim is special to me. It's where I lived while working in LA, and now I get to return with my kids to create something magical. It's a full-circle moment for me, and I can't wait for families to experience Anaheim through the eyes of kids because it's a place where imagination can run wild.'
She added, 'The cherry on top was being able to collaborate with my own children and seeing their over-the-top vacation ideas!'
Launched in response to a new survey showing that 86% of kids want more say in family vacation planning, Imaginagency is giving kids the power to call the shots, and they're not holding back.
From pancakes and theme parks to hockey games and hiking trails, these tiny travel agents know exactly what they want.
So, who are the masterminds behind the movement? The 'Imaginagents' include six superstar kids aged 6 to 13.
Cree Mowry-Hardrict, 13, actor and Tia Mowry's oldest son; Cairo Mowry-Hardrict, 6, Tia's daughter and full-time cutie; Tynka Gudas, 9, daughter of Anaheim Ducks captain Radko Gudas; Brayden El Moussa, 9, son of HGTV stars Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack; Olivia Bledsoe, 9, local Anaheim expert; and Nigel Zhang, 9, also a local Anaheim expert.
Each Imaginagent created their own bookable itinerary, and they're every bit as creative as you'd expect.
Cairo planned a delicious, dessert-filled adventure featuring pancakes, donuts, and ice cream. Cree's visit is part of the excitement surrounding Disneyland Resort's 70th Anniversary, kicking off May 16, 2025, and running through summer 2026. The milestone celebration promises nonstop fun for all ages, with new experiences and the return of beloved favorites like the Paint the Night parade and Wondrous Journeys nighttime spectacular.
Meanwhile, Tynka offers a hockey lover's dream inspired by the Anaheim Ducks.
Brayden goes full throttle with scenic views and thrills, and Olivia and Nigel serve up park-hopping, hiking, shopping, and theme park fun.
'Kids bring a special kind of magic to the travel experience,' Scott Oklin, Chief Marketing Officer of Visit Anaheim, said. 'Through Imaginagency, we're not just giving families a trip to remember, we're allowing kids to lead the way with their own creativity. Whether it's cheering on the Anaheim Ducks or taking a spin on thrilling rides, we're all about turning kids' big ideas into unforgettable moments for the whole family.'
And that's not all, because Visit Anaheim and Tia Mowry are turning this initiative into a full-blown contest.
Starting today through July 14, families can visit www.imaginagency.com to browse the six official kid-curated itineraries, use the Itinerary Builder to create their own dream Anaheim vacation, and enter for a chance to win an epic family getaway valued at up to $10,000.
Kids who submit their own itineraries will be entered to win a three-night, all-expenses-paid trip to Anaheim for a family of four, including airfare, hotel, meals, theme park tickets, and more.
The launch of Imaginagency comes just as Anaheim is celebrating its Golden Decade, with the city continuing to grow as the ultimate family destination.
Nestled in the heart of Orange County, between the glam of Los Angeles and the laid-back vibe of San Diego, Anaheim is already home to Disneyland Resort, and soon to be home to even more exciting attractions like the upcoming OCVIBE entertainment district.
Between its magical parks, tasty eats, and now, a kid-powered travel agency, Anaheim isn't just kid-friendly. It's kid-run.
So, if your little one has always wanted to plan the family vacay, now's their big moment. Let them take the wheel and maybe pack some extra snacks for Cairo's itinerary.
