Journey Into Imagineering

    George from VA Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    Is it possible to arrange a tour of Imagineering studios or engage directly with imagineers? I am visiting Disneyworld on Oct 11-15 with 19yr old son who is exploring college and career paths, and he is interested in engineering and imagineering.

    Hi there George, it's great welcome you and your son to planDisney!

    As someone who also grew up admiring the work that Imagineers put into Disney Experiences around the world, I think it's absolutely wonderful that you're looking out for your son in search of ways to inspire his path moving forward! Many planDisney Panelists have had the privilege of working on secret projects alongside folks currently part of Walt Disney Imagineering as well as meeting and interacting with the folks responsible for some of the newest attractions. While there currently aren't any bookable Imagineering-related experiences available at Walt Disney World Resort during your upcoming visit, I can do my best with some suggestions that your son might want to look into:

    There are so many folks who make up the world of WDI beyond those skilled in engineering, and guests may unknowingly be crossing paths with Imagineers around Walt Disney World Resort going about their day - but I really do wish there was something that you or your son could arrange during your visit. (If you're ever lucky enough to be around for any major announcements or work being completed at any of the theme parks like Disney's Animal Kingdom, folks like to keep an eye out for their distinctive name tags or even hard hats!)  In the meantime, I highly suggest following Walt Disney Imagineering on social media and watching the "We Call It Imagineering" series online; there's so much underway over the next few years and who knows if he could be among those ushering in the next wave of Disney Experiences in the future.

    I wish you both all the best on your Imagineering quest!
