Meet the Disney Fanatic Team!

Welcome to DisneyFanatic.com, where Disney fans come for the latest news, stories, tips, tricks, and more.

With our team of experts, we cover all things Disney, including Parks, Resorts, movies, trends, Marvel, Star Wars, and beyond. We even occasionally burst the Disney bubble and cover the latest news from some of Disney’s top competitors, such as Universal.

Meet our team of writers below!

Kaitlin Morelli: News Writer

A Disney World Guest since before she could walk, Kaitlin is a Jersey girl and former Virginia Tech Hokie. When she’s not listening to the Moana soundtrack on repeat with her baby daughter, she’s writing, singing, and strumming the ukulele. Kaitlin is passionate about finding the best Disney Park tips n’ tricks and moments when pop culture and Disney collide. She’s looking forward to eventually taking her first Disney trip with her favorite fan in the making: her daughter.

Krysten Swensen: Senior Writer

A born and bred New England girl living the Disney life in Southern California. I love to read, to watch The Golden Girls, enjoy a Red Sox game, and love everything to do with Disney and Universal. Disney’s best character ever is Figment, and its most underrated movie is The Great Mouse Detective. Love living by Walt’s belief that if we can dream it, we can do it. Follow my Disney and Universal adventures on my Instagram, @BrazzleDazzleDisney!

Priyanka Kumar: News Writer

Priyanka is a writer, artist, avid reader, and travel enthusiast based in Chicago. In her free time, she is probably walking by the lake, catching up on the latest releases on TV, or spending inordinate amounts of time rewatching Moana, Encanto, and her Disney Channel life-long favorites Zack and Cody wreak havoc on the Tipton.

Rick Lye: News Writer

Rick is an avid Disney fan. He first went to Disney World in 1986 with his parents and has been hooked ever since. Rick is married to another Disney fan and is in the process of turning his two children into fans as well. When he is not creating new Disney adventures, he loves to watch the New York Yankees and hang out with his dog, Buster. In the fall, you will catch him cheering for his beloved NY Giants.

Sharon C: News Writer

Sharon is a writer and animal lover from New England. Sharon’s two main focuses in her work are Disney’s correlations with pop culture and the significance of Disney princesses (which was the basis for her college thesis). When she’s not writing about Disney, Sharon spends her time singing, dancing, and cavorting with woodland creatures!
