Idiot's Guide to Imagineering
Welcome to Idiot’s Guide to Imagineering, the podcast where big ideas, thoughtful conversations, and a little bit of chaos come together to explore the past, present, and future of Disney Parks.
Hosted by a team of former Cast Members, lifelong Disney fans, and self-proclaimed “Idiots” (a title we wear proudly), we reimagine Disney Parks by creating our own original concepts that blend creativity, storytelling, and real-world practicality. From rides and resorts to restaurants and entire lands, each episode features a fresh pitch designed not just to entertain, but to break down how Imagineering actually works and why certain choices resonate with guests in the first place.
But this is not just a podcast, it is an experience. With immersive audio production and narrative-driven segments, we bring our ideas to life in a way that makes you feel like you are right there in the parks with us.
Our projects are the starting point, but the real focus is what they reveal about design, innovation, guest experience, and the evolving landscape of themed entertainment. Whether we are unpacking the “why” behind a storytelling choice or digging into the challenges of park planning, we aim to keep it insightful, approachable, and always a little bit idiotic.
And in our Magic Makers series, we sit down with real creatives from across Disney Parks and Experiences to hear their stories, ideas, and the lessons behind the magic.
Whether you are a lifelong Disney fan, an aspiring Imagineer, or just someone who loves a good story well told, Idiot’s Guide to Imagineering is your ticket to park talk that is curious, clever, and always a good time. You might even start to see the parks in a way you never have before.
Step into the story with us and imagine what comes next.

The biggest Disney Parks event of the year is almost here, and the Idiots are making their predictions.
In this special D23 2026 Predictions episode, Stephen, Kaity, and Jenny break down what they expect (and hope) Disney will reveal during the Disney Experiences Showcase. From Tropical Americas and Piston Peak to Monstropolis, Villains Land, international park expansions, Disney Cruise Line, and the projects that could completely surprise everyone, we’re separating the locks from the long shots.
With D23 just weeks away, we’re looking at construction progress, past announcements, Imagineering trends, and Disney’s current strategy to predict what could be coming next for the parks.
Plus, we share our plans for covering D23 live from Anaheim, what we’re hoping to experience at the event, and why this year’s showcase could give us our biggest glimpse yet at the future of Disney Imagineering.
What will Disney announce? Which predictions will age well? And which ones will end up in the “what were these Idiots thinking?” category?
Only one way to find out...
