About

Welcome to The World of Spark. I’m happy you’re here!

The World of Spark was started in 2023 to help theme park fans plan their next vacation better than their last. Whether you’ve been to Disney World, Disneyland, or Universal one time or one thousand, the goal is to provide you with helpful tips and tricks. That could be full guides to an upcoming festival, weekly news updates, how-tos, and more. 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.

Cinderella Castle

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, Family Vacationist, 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 while planning a family trip in 2007, 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. My latest endeavor, The World of Spark, is my way of sharing my love of theme parks with like-minded fans and newcomers alike. Click around and stay a while!
