Overview
- Walt Disney Imagineering released a new episode of its revived Imagineer That! series featuring Tom Morrow 2.0 to answer the question of how to become an Imagineer.
- The episode stresses there is no single path into the group and notes that roughly 150 different disciplines are represented on the Imagineering team.
- WDI lists the traits it seeks in candidates as a creative mindset, an entrepreneurial spirit, a passion for problem-solving, and strong collaboration skills.
- Current Imagineers in the episode describe varied origins such as front-line park roles, runDisney, feature animation, and careers outside Disney to show how diverse experience can lead to WDI jobs.
- Imagineer That! originally aired on Disney Channel in the late 1990s and early 2000s and the new series uses nostalgia and direct outreach on WDI’s YouTube channel to connect fans and potential applicants with active park development work.
