Specializing in theme parks, cruise lines, and immersive travel.

Theme Parks

I grew up writing Disney World travel guides (I wrote my first one in middle school to convince my dad to take me on a trip). Long story short, I live and breathe theme parks. Your readers will always have their finger on the pulse of all things Disney, Universal, and regional parks nationwide.

Cruising & Travel

While I’ll happily write about Mickey Mouse-shaped food all day, I’m endlessly curious about the world around me. My work highlights the destinations, hotels, restaurants, and attractions your readers can and should prioritize during their travels.

Carly Neil is a theme park and travel writer and editor who first visited Disney World at 4 years old and mysteriously still lives there to this day.

The name of the game is delivering engaging and informative stories about the most sought-after destinations to an audience that includes fellow mega-fans and inquisitive minds alike.

Brands partner with me when they are looking for more than words on a screen. With years of on-the-ground coverage of and a true passion for theme parks, cruise lines, and industry-leading destinations, I bring editorial credibility and authentic audience knowledge to every project I produce.

My work has reached tens of thousands of readers worldwide, providing in-depth reporting and coverage surrounding some of the world's top travel destinations -- all while answering the question, "What happens when a grown woman living off of iced coffee and popcorn is left alone in Disneyland one too many times?"

​If you've ever wanted to know how to save on a Disney World vacation or choose the best time of year to visit Universal Orlando, I have the scoop.
