Carly Neil, The World of Spark

Carly Neil, The World of Spark

The World of Spark was launched in 2023 to help families plan their next theme park vacation better than their last. Whether you’ve been to Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, or Universal one time or one thousand, my goal is to provide you with actionable tips and tricks. At the end of the day, I want you — dear reader — to be empowered to be your own expert when it comes to all things vacation planning. A little bit about me — my name is Carly, the voice behind The World of Spark. I am a published travel writer with articles across the world wide web, helping countless readers over the years plan their next Disney World and Disneyland vacation. My work can be seen in Tripadvisor, Fodor’s Travel, Business Insider, FamilyVacationist, and more. My finger has been on the pulse of all things Disney from a young age. I wrote my first “unofficial” Disney World guide book in grade school while planning a family trip and the rest is history. I’ve been a Disneyland Cast Member, Annual Passholder, long-distance fan — you name it, I’ve probably experienced it in some way, shape, or form. The World of Spark is my way of sharing my love of theme parks with like-minded fans and newcomers alike.
