Destinations
Not an exhaustive list — just the destinations I've planned again and again. If yours isn't here, that doesn't mean I haven't been there. Tell me what you have in mind.
The home base. Resort match, dining priorities, ride strategy.
Most-planned, most-asked-about, and where Ciera spends the most hours. Resort match across value / moderate / deluxe / DVC, hard-to-get dining reservations, ride strategy with Lightning Lane and rope drop, character experiences, Memory Maker and dining plan analysis, and a pre-trip planning call so you actually know what's coming.
The California parks — for the WDW veteran or the first-timer.
Disneyland is its own planet. Park-hopping rhythms, Disney California Adventure dining, Halloween / Holiday overlays, and the Grand Californian / Paradise Pier / DLH resort decision.
From cabin choice to character meets to the Castaway Cay cabana lottery.
Ship match (Wish, Treasure, Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy), itinerary fit (Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, Europe), cabin selection (location matters more than tier), Castaway Cay cabana strategy, port adventures, Palo / Remy / spa / character reservations, and concierge handoff if applicable.
The Wizarding World, Volcano Bay, the rest of the resort.
Wizarding-World-fan trip planning across Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, the new Epic Universe lands, Volcano Bay, Loews resort selection (with Express Pass perks for on-property guests), and how Universal pairs with WDW for split-park trips.
When the trip isn't Disney but the planning still matters.
Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, Princess, Holland America, MSC. Cabin location, dining packages, beverage packages, port strategy, and the fine print of pricing tiers (Norwegian Free at Sea, RCL Day Pass, etc.).
Sandals, Beaches, Riu, Excellence — when the trip is a reset.
All-inclusive resorts done right: Sandals (couples / honeymoons), Beaches (families), Excellence (adults), Riu, Iberostar, RIU, Hyatt Ziva/Zilara. Resort match, room-tier value, swim-up suite vs. butler-level decisions, and excursion recommendations.
River cruises, multi-city itineraries, milestone trips.
European travel — river cruises (Viking, AmaWaterways), classic ocean cruises through the Mediterranean, multi-city itineraries (London-Paris-Rome and the like), and milestone honeymoons / anniversaries. Hotels, transit, and the practical "what time is the train and where do we eat" details.
