Through archival footage, interviews, and never-before-seen materials, “The Imagineering Story” provides a comprehensive and immersive journey into the world of Imagineering, dating back to its inception in the 1950s.

It delves into their creative processes, the breakthrough technologies they have used, and the storytelling techniques employed to create immersive and magical experiences for park guests.
