For those who may not know, Walt Disney Imagineering (also known as WDI) is the design and development arm of the Walt Disney Company, responsible for the creation and construction of Disney theme parks worldwide. Founded by Walt Disney himself in 1952 to oversee the production of Disneyland in California, it was originally known as WED Enterprises - from the initials of Walter Elias Disney. The term "Imagineering" was popularized to describe the blending of imagination and engineering.
Imagineering is responsible for designing and building Disney theme parks, resorts, cruise ships, and other entertainment venues at all levels of project development. Imagineers often possess a broad range of skills and talents, and thus over 140 different job titles fall under the banner of Imagineering -- including illustrators, architects, engineers, lighting designers, show writers, graphic designers, and countless more. Most Imagineers work from the HQ facility in Glendale, California, where I was today.
Days like today keep me going forward strong and with full speed! Who could have imagined that I would be speaking to a group of Disney employees at just 23 years old? Crazy!
