Walt Disney Imagineering Celebrates 70 Years
Walt Disney Imagineering Celebrates 70 Years of Making the Impossible Possible!
In March of 1952, plans are starting for a 16 acre family park next to the The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank California.
But as plans progressed Walt decided that his ideas wouldn’t fit into an area that size.
He began to assemble a team that would help him plan, design and build what Walt decided to call Disneyland.
Walt Disney Imagineering’s History
As the plans for the Disneyland grow, Walt & his brother Roy set up a separate organization called, Walt Disney Inc.
This is what would become Walt Disney Imagineering!
In March of 1953 Walt Disney Inc gets renamed to WED Enterprises (WED stands for Walter Elis Disney).
In 1986 WED Enterprises gets renamed to Walt Disney Imagineering (a blending of the words imagination and engineering).
