Learn How to Become a Disney Imagineer in Latest Imagineer That

If you’ve ever found yourself staring up at Cinderella Castle or stepping off Space Mountain wondering, “How do I get a job doing this?”, you are far from alone!

In the newest episode of Walt Disney Imagineering’s hit YouTube series Imagineer That!, fan-favorite host Tom Morrow 2.0 tackle one of the absolute most-asked questions in Disney history: “How do I become an Imagineer?”

While many people assume Imagineering is reserved solely for ride engineers or artists, Tom Morrow 2.0 sets the record straight right away. As it turns out, there isn’t just one single path to joining Walt Disney Imagineering.

In fact, Imagineering encompasses more than 150 different disciplines! Current team members come from remarkably varied professional backgrounds—some started out as front-line Magic Kingdom park greeters, others worked with runDisney, and some came from Walt Disney Feature Animation or entirely non-Disney industries before bringing their talents to WDI.

Whether your primary background is in art, engineering, technology, business, storytelling, or something completely different, Imagineering needs a diverse blend of skills to bring massive theme park projects to life.

According to the episode, the key traits Imagineering looks for in future team members include:

• A Creative Mindset: Seeing possibilities where others see walls.
• An Entrepreneurial Spirit: Taking initiative and driving bold, innovative ideas forward.
• A Passion for Problem-Solving: Finding unique solutions when tackling complex, never-been-done-before challenges.
• Strong Collaboration: Bringing different skill sets together to craft a seamless guest experience.

It takes a massive team of dreamers, doers, and collaborators working behind the scenes to engineer Disney magic. No matter what field you specialize in, there may be a spot for your unique skill set at Walt Disney Imagineering!
