Hello, I'm Michael Eisner.

Now, here is your host.

Hi, and welcome back to the Defunct Land podcast.

My name is Kevin Perger.

On today's show, I am joined by one of the most

prominent figures in my most recent two episodes on Euro Disneyland. Imagineer Tim Delaney. Tim, how are you doing today? Doing great, Kevin. I look forward to having this discussion. I am too. This is unbelievable that I have you on. I mean, honestly, I've interviewed people that have worked on the rides that I've talked about.

I've had people that have operated the rides, but this is the first time that I've been able to interview the head designer on an attraction that I've done an episode on. So I'm extremely grateful that you're here today. And I'm sure the audience is too. If you could only hear the applause. Well, okay, it'll be the first time I've gotten applause today. but that's one round of day. Looking forward to it. One round of applause every day. Yeah, at least, at least one a day. Well, to get started, I'm really curious about everything you did in the 34 years you were at Imagineering. So if you could just tell me all of it, that'd be great. Everything I did. Well, I can, let me see how quickly I can summarize it.

So let me just say that I really did enjoy, you know, my 34 years in imaginary.

It was really quite an extraordinary place to be in an extraordinary time.

I started in June of 1976.

And at that time, I was working for a company called Wed Enterprises.

This was before it became Imagineering.
