Podcasts about Imagineer

Send us a textIt came across my desk one day, this moment, this fleeting moment where I thought to myself, "Where I focus my energy I create." Are we focused too much on the "white noise" that is running static in our brains that it is stifling the essence of seeing beyond our circumstances to something better? In the words of the Imagineer himself...."Always remember, your focus determines your reality."~George LucasSHOW NOTES:Join Life and Wellness Coach, Kira Mesi as she navigates the ups and downs of life through personal experience, storytelling, and interviews.

This week, Len Testa and Jim Hill dig into one of the strangest goofs in Disney history—how the restaurant inside Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom was originally named after the wrong king, and why it took over two decades (and a flood of guest complaints) to finally correct it. Also in this episode: The King Stefan Banquet Hall Backstory – Why Imagineering picked the wrong king in the first place—and how nobody caught it before opening day. Dave Smith and John Hench's Awkward Phone Call – The archivist and the Imagineer have a polite, slightly painful conversation about medieval royalty. The 25th Anniversary Castle Cake Fallout – Why complaints about the Pepto-Bismol pink castle pushed Disney to rethink the restaurant's name. How Cinderella's Royal Table Was Finally Born – And how it became one of the most popular (and profitable) restaurants in all of Walt Disney World. Listener Questions and More – Updates on Disney and Universal surveys, Lightning Lane changes, and Epic Universe tips. It's a story of castles, kings, and the longest game of "whoops" in Disney Parks history.

MONSTER PARTY SALUTES THE LIFE AND CAREER OF A CREATIVE VISIONARY! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD celebrate the legendary artist who designed many of the most iconic attractions at Disneyland Theme Parks. But as you'll soon learn, his work and legacy far surpass the gates of The Magic Kingdom. MONSTER PARTY is proud to present… BOB GURR: TO DISNEYLAND AND BEYOND!!! While pursuing a career in car design, Bob got the call from Disney to create ride cars and animatronics for Disneyland. The Autopia cars! The Matterhorn bobsleds! The Haunted Mansion Doom Buggy! The original Disneyland monorail! The internal mechanisms of Abraham Lincoln for Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln! All designed by Bob Gurr! After a long career as an "Imagineer," Bob left Disney to start his own company and bring us the original (and best!) King Kong Encounter for Universal Studios and the sinking pirate ship at Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas! In this enlightening and inspirational episode, Bob Gurr sheds light on his early life, artistic style, work ethic, philosophy, and remarkable thirst for knowledge. We also get a slew of surprising anecdotes, including a monorail encounter with the past Vice-President of the United States… RICHARD NIXON! Whatever happened to that guy? For this very special "podfrontation," we are happy to welcome two incredible guests! The first is an award-winning producer, director, and writer, who has brought us such films as MEN IN SUITS, LOVECRAFT: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, and the upcoming BOB GURR: LIVING BY DESIGN. Let's hear it for friend of the show... FRANK WOODWARD!  Our second guest is the author of such sought-after books as HOW TO DRAW THE CARS OF TOMORROW, DESIGN: JUST FOR FUN, and BOB GURR: LEGENDARY IMAGINEER: LIFE AND TIMES-DISNEY AND BEYOND, and he's currently the host of the YouTube series, THE BOB GURR SHOW! Please welcome... You guessed it... BOB GURR! THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON THE INTERNET IS... MONSTER PARTY!

Mr. Toad moved to Florida for the opening of Walt Disney World... but he was never meant to be there. In this episode of Distory, we hop on over to the Magic Kingdom and explore the history behind why Mr. Toad became part of (yet another) Fantasyland. Along the way, we discuss Rolly Crump (the lead Imagineer of this version) and hear his take on the design of the Magic Kingdom and life in general so that we can more fully understand his work within this iconic attraction. After a thorough look around the exterior and queue, including comparing it to the Disneyland versions both past and present, we find some long-lost WED documents, analyze some changing motorcar designs, and debate the design choices of the character flats on either side of the two tracks.  We finally come to a screeching halt just before entering Toad Hall to allow plenty of time in future episodes to dig into every detail we can find that made this classic ride so delightfully weird and wonderful.Join us LIVE on YouTube every Thursday at 10:30am Pacific/1:30pm Eastern for more Distory!Kate's Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@disneycicerone⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can also find us on Instagram, Facebook, and at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠disneycicerone.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠walruscarp.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠View full video versions of each episode at Disney Cicerone's YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OR on the Spotify version of our podcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Distory T-shirts and Stickers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kate's Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kate's books on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WalrusCarp T-shirts & Merch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MOWD app

Hey Ohana, We're starting a new series of episodes this week called Blue Sky Imagineering (or BSI for short) in which we invite friends from the Ohana to join us and put on our "armchair Imagineer " hard hats on to dream up things that we'd love to see come to the parks. Whether they are out of thin air or based on a Disney announcement we'll share the details of what we hope to enjoy when we visit our favorite place. On this week's episode we're joined by our good friends Megan Kirsch and Chris Blagg to design the new Pirate's theme lounge coming to Adventureland in Magic Kingdom this year! From how you enter to the lounge, to the drinks you can order, we came up with some pretty fun ideas (in our humble opinion lol). After giving it a listen, continue the conversation by heading over to our FB group and letting us know what YOU hope to see in the new Pirates Lounge! Thanks for tuning in and as always...See Ya Real Soon!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. The Reflections DVC resort might not be dead after all, it's just getting a new name.  Plus the Disney Treasure had its official christening and we were hyped for the accompanying drone show. This week, we are delighted to be joined once again by Bob Weis, former President of Walt Disney Imagineering, to discuss his newest book, Ghost Dog. The story combines Bob's love of the Haunted Mansion and everyone's love of dogs to answer the question, what if a ghost (dog) really did follow you home? Plus, since we don't know the next time we'll have the chance to talk to an Imagineer, we ask some of our more obscure ride questions and Angela pitches her Escape from Elephant Graveyard attraction idea.

Robert Weis - Author, Speaker, and Former President of Walt Disney Imagineering Disney Night Live had the honor, interviewing Robert Weis. Bob is an author, speaker, and the Former President of Walt Disney Imagineering. Skipper Jay and I were giddy getting to speak with Bob, asking him questions about his illustrious career as a Disney Imagineer. With over forty years as an Imagineer, Bob worked on so many iconic projects we all know and love (Ep. 90/S3 from 02Nov2024). Bob has also written two books. Dream Chasing and Ghost Dog. So be sure to look for them and enjoy. Links are provided. https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Chasing-Decades-Imagineering-Editions/dp/1368101038 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ghost+dog&i=stripbooks&crid=2AM62TYLKU6W&sprefix=ghost+dog%2Cstripbooks%2C116&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 More about Bob: Bob Weis is a dreamer who believes that if you can imagine it, you can do it. He was an Imagineer over a forty-year span, from 1980 to 2023. In those years, Bob worked at every Disney Park and resort around the world. He was president of Walt Disney Imagineering from 2016 to 2022, and a Disney Global Imagineering Ambassador after that. His passion for storytelling and creative collaboration, new technologies, and for the vibrancy of the guest experience has driven him through projects from Tokyo Disneyland (and later its accompanying park, Tokyo DisneySea) and Disney Hollywood Studios to the reinvention of Disney California Adventure and on to Shanghai Disneyland. Weis also led the creative development of the new Triton class of cruise ships, the first of which was the critically acclaimed Disney Wish. Outside of Disney, Weis has served as a consultant to the Kennedy Space Center, Smithsonian, New York City's Rockefeller Center, U. S. Navy, and Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.

Skull Rock Podcast is powered by Riverside.fm. Click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and start making great podcasts today! Episode #213 features a chat about the new book, How Does Disney Do That? with authors James Warda and Imagineer Theron Skees. For many of us, why is every third photo at home from a Disney Park and every fifth kitchen towel covered in those famous ears? And what lies behind not only children, but adults, crying as Bambi looks for his mother or upon seeing Cinderella's Castle for the first time? Most of all, how does Disney make us feel this way? And why are these questions so important, especially now? Because, in answering them, in hearing from those who evoke these feelings through a powerful mixture of “method and magic,” we learn not only why we love Disney but why, if Disney didn't exist, we would need to create it. We also learn more about ourselves and each other along the way. How Does Disney Do That?: How Disney Makes Us Feel and Why It Matters will answer these questions, and more, through heartfelt and hopeful stories from Disney fans, and those who create the experiences.

While Walt died in late 1966, the company he founded and many of his disciples continue to practice the gospel of Disney. Brian is one the most successful and sought-after adherents. Brian is the founder of The Brainstorm Institute. Working from Orlando, and frequently exploring Disney World with his clients, Brian teaches innovation, brainstorming, and technology cross-pollination to companies of all sizes.  As Walt used to say, “It's kind of fun to do the impossible.” You'll have fun this week listening to what Brian Collins has to say. And, oh yeah, if you've got Mouse Ears lying around, feel free to wear them while you listen.  ​Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

So I'm late with this podcast. I'd like to blame Hurricane Helene, but in truth it really just brought things to a standstill, without even really touching the greater Orlando area. But it did give me a chance to cuddle up to my new favorite book Dream Chasing: My Four Decades of Success and Failure with Walt Disney Imagineering by Bob Weis and foreword by Bob Iger. This is an amazing book, and I wanted to draw from it and a few other resources to share the experience of bringing Tokyo Disney to life. People talk about how amazing the Tokyo Disney Resort is. But for all of the resorts world-wide, it has some of the least shared stories. This podcast imparts some of those stories from Bob's eyes, as a newly hired Imagineer brought to create this park from the ground up to the creation of Tokyo DisneySea years later. Join us as we go Dream Chasing in Tokyo Disney: Insights from Imagineer Bob Weis. ________________________________________________ My new book, A Century of Powerful Disney Insights, Volume I 1923-1973, The Walt & Roy Disney Years is available!  Also, check out my two of my other books, The Wonderful World of Customer Service at Disney and Disney, Leadership and You.
