Disney Imagineering: The Magic Behind the Magic

Friends and family are always asking us why we keep going back to Walt Disney World. “Surely you’ve seen everything there is to see?” they say to us. Well this quote from a Disney Imagineer pretty much sums it up:

“The closer you look at something, the more you see…”

Disney World isn’t just a theme park -- of course if that’s what you are expecting on your Disney World vacation then that’s probably what you’ll experience. But Disney World is so much more than that. The Disney Imagineers spend hours mixing imagination with vision and technology to really bring magic to life -- and in order to truly experience this magic on your Disney vacation you have to open your eyes and look for it.

Don’t just run from ride to ride -- keep your eyes wide open. While you’re standing in line take time to notice the details, and the story that the Imagineers are telling you, a story which will continue onto the attraction and often out the other side.
