Episode 114 begins a Three Part conversation with the recent Vice President of Creative Design and Executive Designer for Walt Disney Imagineering Tim Delaney.  During this podcast we discuss Tim’s early fascination with Walt Disney’s visions of the future and technology, his journey into WED (later known as Walt Disney Imagineering), an intriguing look into the concept and creation of EPCOT and Tim’s main project within the park ‘The Living Seas Pavilion.’ This is a wonderful insight on the creative process within the art of Imagineering and is a must listen for all attraction designers, designers in the making and Disney park fans.  Enjoy!
