More on Walt Disney Imagineering
Description from Wikipedia:
Walt Disney Imagineering (also known as WDI or simply Imagineering) is the design and development arm of The Walt Disney Company, responsible for the creation and construction of Disney theme parks worldwide. Founded by Walt Disney in 1952 to oversee the production of Disneyland Park, it was originally known as WED Enterprises, from the initials Walter Elias Disney.
The term Imagineering comes from Walt Disney’s blending of the words imagination and engineering, representing the skill set embodied by the employees of WDI. These employees, known as Imagineers, are renowned for their ability to blend creativity, expertise, and technological advancements like Audio-Animatronics to create “distinctive experiential storytelling”.
Eventually the Imagineers moved from the Disney Studios in Burbank to their own dedicated space in neighboring Glendale, California. Though at first a private company owned wholly by Walt Disney himself, WED Enterprises later merged with the Walt Disney Company, and in 1984 it was renamed Walt Disney Imagineering. Tony Baxter, current Senior Vice President, Creative Development, noted that “Imagineering is the outgrowth of WED Enterprises... and it was a place sort of removed from the studio that Walt created where people could think about magical things, and during the course of time the word Imagineering came out of that, because he realized he had a staff of people that imagined things and people that engineered things”.
