Carlye Wisel is an energetic reporter who went to Walt Disney World on a whim and basically never left. Now a theme park journalist and travel expert, she attends strangers’ Disney weddings, flies around the world riding roller coasters and does her damndest to help families with their Walt Disney World planning. When she’s not indulging in her main food group — theme park popcorn — she can be found yelling into her phone about everything from Cats to cold foam on her Instagram stories.
