About Cierese R.
Hi, I’m Cierese — Disney lover, travel planner, homeschool mom, and firm believer that magic lives just beyond the purple wall. I’ve been visiting the parks for decades and have stayed at nearly every Disney resort (yes, really!). I’m also a Disney Vacation Club member and avid Fort Wilderness camper — there’s just something special about a s’more under the stars after a day in the parks. My favorite ride? Hands down: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind — I’ll race to save the galaxy any day! I’m a sucker for a Dole Whip and think Animal Kingdom is the most underrated park experience ever. When I’m not trip planning or exploring the magic, you’ll find me wrangling goats, gardening, or spending time with my family. I’m here to help you plan smarter, stress less, and create unforgettable Disney memories that truly fit your family.
