Idiot's Guide to Imagineering
Welcome to Idiot’s Guide to Imagineering, the podcast where creativity meets the magic of Disney!
Hosted by passionate former Disney Cast Members, we bring a fresh, thoughtful, and wildly fun approach to reimagining Disney Parks. As self-proclaimed "Idiots" (a title we wear with pride), we dive headfirst into the art of Imagineering, balancing storytelling, innovation, and a deep love for theme park design. Combined with immersive audio production, our episodes transport you into the worlds we create, making every idea feel like a real Disney experience.
Each episode, we take on the challenge of designing something new for Disney Parks & Experiences - whether it’s a ride, restaurant, resort, or even an entire land. With an Imagineer’s mindset, we pitch creative yet practical ideas that could actually work in the parks, considering real-world constraints like technology, budgets, and guest experience. It’s the perfect blend of dreaming big and thinking smart, all while keeping that signature Disney magic at the heart of it.
And in our Magic Makers series, we sit down with the real visionaries behind Disney Parks & Experiences to hear their stories and insights firsthand.
Whether you’re a theme park enthusiast, a creative thinker, or just here for the fun, Idiot’s Guide to Imagineering is your ticket to an adventure in possibility. So step into the story with us - imagine, dream, and maybe even design the next great Disney attraction.

S3 E25: Season 3 Finale: Idiot Imagineer Showdown
After seven months of chaotic brainstorming, feral laughter, and over two dozen wildly ambitious blue-sky projects, Season 3 of Idiot’s Guide to Imagineering wraps with a high-stakes showdown between Marissa and Stephen for the title of Idiot Imagineer of the Year. In this season finale, the Idiots bring all the imagination, storytelling, and unhinged creativity they’ve honed across three seasons into one last head-to-head pitch challenge. There are surprises, unexpected strategies, and a judging system that, thankfully, doesn’t require a rocket scientist this time.
But this episode isn’t just about the winner. It’s a celebration of everything the Idiots have built together: stronger stories, deeper friendships, and a growing community of fellow dreamers who remind us why we keep doing this. With heartfelt reflections on the past season and a glimpse into what’s ahead, the finale is a reminder that the story is far from over. If you’ve been waiting for a perfect blend of theme park nerdiness, friendship-fueled banter, and just enough emotional chaos to feel like home, this is it.
