More about Dan Hatfield
Dan is an Orlando destination specialist, former Universal Orlando Resort team member, student at UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management, and founder of Visitus Media LLC. Originally from St. Paul, MN, Dan now lives in Celebration, FL with his wife Rosie and their new daughter Noa.
Dan has had a lifelong passion for Orlando and theme parks — places where a family can “escape” and enjoy once-in-a-lifetime experiences together. With the dream of turning this passion into a new career, Dan and his wife relocated from the Midwest to Orlando in 2009. Initially he went looking for opportunities at the theme parks (along with pursuing a degree in Hospitality Management). By 2010 he had become the top Sales Counselor at Universal’s Guest Contact Center, and as a result he was invited by Universal’s Leadership to participate in several training projects. While his experience working with Universal’s Leadership was invaluable, as it created the basis for OrlandoInformer.com’s subscription service, Dan knew that he wanted the opportunity do so something else — something that would allow him to spend time at the parks with his family, explore all of Orlando, and capitalize on his interest in website development, while at the same time allow him to continue offering incredible one-on-one service to guests visiting the area. So at the beginning of 2011 he left Universal, founded Visitus Media LLC, and began work on this site.
It has been a long road with several twists and turns, but with the unwavering support of the growing OI community, Dan was able to turn his dream job into a reality in less than a year. Moving forward, he has a grand vision for this site and its unique services, and it’s exciting to know the ride has just begun!
