But that’s not all. The Disney Imagineers also gave attendees a behind-the-scenes look at another blue-sky concept that allows fans to have a live conversation with pixie-sized Tinker Bell. With this new innovation, Disney is once again pushing the boundaries of what is possible in creating magical, immersive experiences for its guests.
D’Amaro and his team also highlighted how creating immersive environments, sensory-provoking food and music, visual effects, interactions with favorite Disney characters, and world-class service from Disney cast members are all designed to bring people together to create their own stories again and again. With Disney’s next 100 years focused on delivering even more hope, inspiration, and happiness, the sky’s the limit for the creative force behind Disney’s theme parks, resort hotels, and cruise ships globally.
