Favorite Grampy

Based in Leesburg, Virginia, Manny Oliverez, known online as Favorite Grampy, is the Director of Digital Marketing and AI Strategy at Favorite Grampy Travels, a fully virtual, award-winning family travel agency that is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner Agency and a Universal U-Preferred Platinum Agency. He leads the agency's work in answer engine and generative engine optimization, tracking how often Copilot, ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews cite the agency's pages and what those citations are worth in visits and leads. Before travel, he sold greeting cards door to door at age six, owned restaurants, worked for Disney and spent 30 years in healthcare administration. Along the way, he has appeared on screen in National Treasure, Live Free or Die Hard, Salt, The Wire and 24. He travels constantly with his grandchildren, so the family questions he writes about are ones he has already worked through himself. He is the author of two books on Amazon, "100 Questions for Grandpa: A Journal to Inspire Reflection and Connection" and "A Love Journal: 100 Things I Love about Grandpa." Manny Oliverez writes about Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando trip planning, Epic Universe, multigenerational family travel, and AI search visibility for travel brands. When he isn’t at Magic Kingdom, he is trying to make the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs in a minivan full of grandkids.
