July 21, 2016 by Miranda 270 Comments

Good Morning POU!

Walt Disney Imagineering is the unique, creative force behind Walt Disney Parks and Resorts that dreams up, designs and builds all Disney theme parks, resorts, attractions, cruise ships, real estate developments, and regional entertainment venues worldwide. Imagineering’s unique strength comes from the dynamic global team of creative and technical professionals building on the Disney legacy of storytelling to pioneer new forms of entertainment through technical innovation and creativity.

The name “Imagineering” combines imagination with engineering. Building upon the legacy of Walt Disney, Imagineers bring art and science together to turn fantasy into reality and dreams into magic.

“I learned bout Imaginations while in college, and my goal was passing midterm exams. My goal now consist of traveling across the globe, while helping design and build enchanted castles and kingdoms.

Justin Harris, Facility Designer – Shanghai

“I have the best job in the world. I help create worlds that kids populate with their own imaginations. I get to work with the most creative people in the world, who come to work everyday thinking of how they can make environments and experiences that will make some little kid believe in magic. I would not have known this job existed if it was not for the imaginations Competition.
