I am very, very proud to introduce the newest OI team member to you: Noa Rose Hatfield.
Noa, our first child, came into this world on Thursday, September 22 at 12:17am. We had a very smooth labor and delivery thanks to the incredible staff at Winnie Palmer Hospital. Our first week at home, while filled with challenges and surprises, has gone as well as we could hope for.
I generally don’t use this site to share personal information and photos, but I am making an exception today just in case anyone was wondering why it has taken me longer than usual to post site updates and new content. As we move forward–and my wife, my daughter, and I settle into our new routines–I am certain that I will be able to continue adding new content and features to OrlandoInformer.com as I have been for the last six months. Sales of the new access plans are going very well, despite being in the theme park off-season, and I am extremely confident our new community will continue to prove useful and rewarding for all members.
Below I’ve included a small photo gallery of my journey over the last two weeks, for those who are interested. Don’t worry–this isn’t going to turn into a parenting blog. Nevertheless, my daughter will certainly add a new perspective to my theme parks visits and I look forward to sharing that knowledge with you.
Finally, I want to say thank you to everyone for your well-wishes over the last two weeks… and to OI members who have bought subscriptions or sent me a gratuity, your support is very appreciated!

I am soooo happy for you and your wife! Noa is just precious! And you just share away, daddy! You have that right now! I know both of you are just over the moon about her, and you should be! She is absolutely perfect! I’m so excited for you and your wife as you begin this new chapter in your lives with Noa! As she gets older, and is able to visit the parks, she will, indeed give you new perspective! You will see everything through her eyes! Congratulations again!
