Walt Disney Imagineering Celebrates 60 Years
It all started 60 years ago when Walt established a small group of people to help him plan and build Disneyland® Park. Now, that once small Walt Disney Imagineering group has expanded to over 1,400! These dreamers apply their imaginative spirits to create new experiences to surprise and delight guests at the Disney Parks, Resorts, and on Disney Cruise Line’s® four ships.
This is a great video showing how Walt Disney Imagineering is still the cornerstone for creativity and innovation at the places that many of us hold near and dear to our hearts. Many fond memories have been made at Disney Destinations, and they all started with the single dream of Walt Disney. And that dream, it is still alive!
Off to Neverland Travel® and our Magic Makers® are so fortunate to be able to connect you to the magic of Disney Destinations!
