ANAHEIM, Calif., May 16, 2025 – Inspired by a national survey revealing that 86% of kids want more input on family vacations, Visit Anaheim is handing over the travel-planning reins to the kids. In partnership with actress, entrepreneur, and supermom Tia Mowry, the destination marketing organization has launched Imaginagency—the world's first-ever travel agency with itineraries designed entirely by children. Helmed by six “Imaginagents,” including Tia's own kids, Cree and Cairo Mowry-Hardrict, the campaign features six bookable, kid-designed itineraries filled with Anaheim adventures. Starting today, families can visit the Imaginagency website to explore the itineraries and enter to win the ultimate Anaheim getaway.

“I'm thrilled to partner with Visit Anaheim on this fun, imaginative project,” says Tia Mowry. “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. The cherry on top was being able to collaborate with my own children and seeing their over-the-top vacation ideas!”
