Taylor Strickland is CEO of Orlando Informer, created 13 years ago as a resource for guests planning trips to Orlando. Orlando Informer is an authorised retailer of Universal Orlando Resort tickets and hotels and United Parks & Resorts tickets. It also connects guests with theme park professionals, and offers a meetup service offering exclusive, after-hours access to Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure.
Under Strickland’s guidance, Orlando Informer has grown from a small online forum into a leading and influential community in the theme park industry.
“Taylor’s work goes beyond just building a fan community; he has created a space where people from all walks of life can come together to enjoy extraordinary vacations at Universal Orlando. His ability to foster a sense of belonging and connection among his audience is unparalleled. What began as a small community gathering has evolved into a series of large-scale, dual-park buyout events that draw thousands of attendees each year,” one nominator said.
“The success of these events is a testament to Taylor’s innovative approach and his commitment to delivering exceptional experiences. Under his leadership, Orlando Informer has become synonymous with top-tier customer service, ensuring that every guest feels valued and cared for. Taylor’s attention to detail and focus on safety have created environments where families and friends can enjoy the magic of Universal Orlando with complete peace of mind.”
