Wishes for a New Year: Star Darlings from Disney
This post is sponsored by Disney Press.
We are a pretty close family. We love spending time together and doing things as a family. In fact, my kids love it so much that they are constantly asking what else we can do together. We have been throwing ideas around about taking a big family cruise with all of the cousins and grandparents plus a few other road trips.
We were recently asked the question: “What are your family’s wishes for 2016? If you could grant a wish to anyone, who would it be for and what would it be?” So we sat down at the dinner table and talked about it.
My Family's Wishes for 2016
My middle child has been excited about her backpack initiative. She sees a lot of kids who cannot afford backpacks and take their books to school in a plastic grocery bag. She also sees a lot of kids with broken backpacks or they are ripped in places. Her wish would be for every student in her school to have a new backpack this fall.
As a family, we would love to grant one wish to another deserving family. There was a family near us recently who lost everything in a home fire. We provided them with a couple of laptops for the kids but we would love to be able to provide them with new clothing and bikes as well. This would be the one wish that my family would absolutely love to grant.
We also all wish to travel together and to go someplace fun where we can relax. The kids want the beach and I am inclined to think that is a great idea!
About Star Darlings from Disney
Star Darlings from Disney was launched in fall 2015 and is for tweens. Just like real girls, each Star Darling has her own wish that she pursues with full force and determination—and the help of her friends. Star Darlings answers the question of where wishes come from, and features a diverse array of star-charmed girls who encourage and help others to fulfill their heartfelt wishes.
As far back as anyone can remember, Starlings who have completed special training, have granted wishes for Earthlings. But a major crisis is afoot and soon twelve unique girls from the prestigious Starling Academy are chosen to be the first student Starlings to venture to Earth. Rich with themes of friendship, confidence, leadership, and teamwork, the Star Darlings as they are known, go on the most magical adventures of their lives. Determined to succeed in spite of their youthful inexperience, the girls show courage and ingenuity—plus a whole lot of humor—as they guide Wishers to discover happiness and fulfillment.
These shared journeys and experiences provide exceptionally positive examples to inspire tweens to follow their dreams, and are experienced through books, dolls, music and apparel, along with a mobile app and animated shorts. Disney “Star Darlings” offers an innovative and unparalleled lifestyle experience that encourages tweens to harness the power of their individuality, highlights the power of making positive choices, and shows that they can make anything possible.
Initially conceived by designer Shana Muldoon Zappa, and her husband, New York Times bestselling author Ahmet Zappa (Because I’m Your Dad), “Star Darlings” was inspired by their daughter. “Our intention with Star Darlings has always been to empower girls and let them know there is an unstoppable wish energy created by positive thinking, taking action, and believing in yourself,” said Shana Muldoon Zappa.

How cute for girls. My nieces are a bit too young for these now, but when they are a bit older I bet they will check these out.
I’ve never heard of this! I think my 11-year-old would absolutely LOVE these books!!! She’s been asking if we can go to the book store (but didn’t know what she wanted) so these would be great to find and show her!!
I love how Disney is coming up with things that encompass a good deal of scifi-Aside from adult shows you don’t see too much science fiction for kids and teens that isn’t completely toned down. Plus it seems to have a good message 🙂
If my daughter was younger, she would definitely want to check these out. I will let the little girl at church know though. She is the right age.
Those sound like awesome books! My daughter is still a little too young for them, but they will be great for when she is older.
I have never heard of this before, but the Star Darlings are adorable. I have a niece who will love this.
I can see my girls being so interested in this. Thanks for sharing about another potential Disney hit!
I love the idea of the backpack initiative, what a great way to start teaching kids to give back!
I’ve not heard of this but I love Disney. I want to encourage my niece to read more so I will check out the books as a birthday present.
I bet this is a show that my Friends little girl would love. She loves all this kind of stuff I’ll have to tell her about this show.
These are wonderful! I’m always looking for gift ideas for my niece and these would absolutely be perfect for her!
My heart is also filled with wishes. This new show seems to have a great concept. Thanks for sharing.
Awwww….this sounds like a great book series for tweens!! I love to read and hope my nieces love it as much as I do one day!!
Oh my gosh, why have I never heard of Star Darlings before? My daughter is still a little young but I can’t wait to introduce her to these cute characters when she gets a little older. Too cute!
My nieces are crazy about the Star Darlings. I will check if they now have this series.
This is a perfect show for my daughter whom aside from cooking, she also has a passion in designng and fashion.
I have no doubt that my 3 girls would love the Star Darlings! I really like that there is a positive social mission “attached” to each girl.
Those look so sweet! I know that my niece will totally want these! Fun covers too.
This is the first time I’ve heard of this. Sounds like something my daughters might be interested in. The books look like they’d be interesting for my girls.
This would be a great book series for my Daughter. I will have to pick it up for her birthday.
That looks like such a cute show. I think my nieces would love to watch something like this.
I have never heard of this before The Star Darlings are so cute! I have a niece who will love them!
I bet my daughter would love these books! And how amazing is it that you donated a few LAPTOPS to the family that lost everything! AMAZING!
I am hoping for healing. I also want to spend more time with my family too.
Star Darlings sounds so cute! I bet my youngest daughter would love them.
