Summary

WDW Radio # 721 - How to Become a Disney Imagineer - From the WDW Radio Archives

We're going back fifteen years this week, to a segment I called, "How to Be an Imagineer," which was in response to a question I received (and still do) quite often since I first started the show more than 18 years ago. In 2008, Disney Imagineer Ed Romeo joined me to talk about his story and journey to become an Imagineer, as well as what working at and for Imagineering was like. This interview was the first of many conversations that I have shared on the show over the years that helped demonstrate that the road to becoming an Imagineer might not necessarily be one the path you think, and there are many different ways you (or your child) can become an Imagineer.

Share your thoughts in the WDW Radio Clubhouse at WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse, or call the voicemail at 407-900-9391 (WDW1) and share your story on the show.

But for now... sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode from the Archives on the WDW Radio show.
