As Walt Disney himself once said, “When we consider a new project, we really study it—not just the surface idea, but everything about it. And when we go into that new project, we believe in it all the way. We have confidence in our ability to do it right. And we work hard to do the best possible job.”  

Keeping true to this sentiment, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro unveiled an exciting new project during the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at the D23 Expo. In 2025, guests at Disneyland will have the unique opportunity to see Walt Disney himself, brought to life through the magic of Audio-Animatronics technology, in a new experience titled “Walt Disney – A Magical Life.”

This groundbreaking endeavor marks the first time Walt Disney Imagineering has created an Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney. The experience will invite visitors to step into Walt’s office and witness the creative process behind his legendary works.


D’Amaro expressed the team’s enthusiasm: “I speak for our entire team when I say there is so much pride and excitement for everyone involved in this endeavor.”

The attraction will debut inside the Main Street Opera House and will subsequently rotate with the classic “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln,” serving as a tribute to Walt Disney’s pioneering work with Audio-Animatronics technology, which he first introduced 60 years ago.

The project has been a collaborative effort, involving members of the Disney family, including Walt’s great-nephew, Roy P. Disney, who recently visited the Imagineering campus to witness the progress.

D’Amaro concluded his announcement with a powerful statement about the dedication of Imagineers around the world:

“At Disney Experiences, Imagineers dream, create, design and build these stories into real places. And we have Imagineers in place right now all around the world because everything we’re going to share with you is in active development. Plans are drawn. Dirt is moving. I just want to be clear about this: We are doing everything you’re going to hear tonight.”

With “Walt Disney – A Magical Life,” Disney continues its legacy of innovation and storytelling, honoring the man whose vision and creativity laid the foundation for the magic we experience today.
