Scooter changes everything for Walt Disney Imagineering. 👀 He is brought to life with a 3D-printed shell and motion-capture technology — both groundbreaking achievements. Scooter isn’t just a new Muppet Audio-Animatronics figure. He is the future of Disney Parks worldwide.

These aquatic robots are more advanced than they look!🐬 Early versions developed by Walt Disney Imagineering started as simple underwater drones, essentially radio-controlled machines, using jet pumps for propulsion and servo motors for control. Functional, but clearly nothing new. Then came the biomimetic stuff. Larger prototypes began mimicking dolphins, using fins instead of propellers to create smooth, organic motion. Servos control vertical and lateral movement, making them move much closer to real animals than traditional underwater drones. The latest invention is autonomous hydrofoils. These platforms use GPS, ultrasonic sensors, and self-balancing control to follow precise trajectories on water, enabling synchronized, repeatable motion for large-scale shows. That's so cool! 😎 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Simulating and training robots requires a physics-first approach. 🤖 With Newton, the open-source physics simulation engine co-developed by Disney Research, Walt Disney Imagineering, Google DeepMind and NVIDIA, Disney’s BDX Droid can move through shifting sand and gravel with exceptional precision. Watch to see how Newton is playing a key role in teaching robots how to move, behave, and interact with different objects and materials in the real world. #CES2026

They were all beefing and sleeping with each other and the Disney execs knew how to profit off of all the drama!!

"Walt Disney never made any of his movies for Children...Walt never talked down children, he treated them like they were adults." — Robert Zemeckis Above all, this is THE most fundamental reason for Disney's success, and it is so often misunderstood by almost everyone.

Spiderman's stuntman is a robot! 🕸️ The Walt Disney Company Imagineers designed an advanced robotics figure that flies 25 meters in the air making its own real-time decisions as it tucks, somersaults, slows down, and climbs. 🤹🏼‍♀️ The result is Spider-Man in Avengers Campus, flying above with gravity-defying feats never before seen in a Disney park. That's incredible to see how robotics is changing different verticals! That's pure magic to me! 🔮 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

One Hundred and One Dalmatians is a gorgeous film. After 65 years, its design is still fresh. Disney's artists went for a new, adventurous look -- one that Walt Disney himself opposed. We explore how they did it: ─➤

the way they comfort each other, hold each other, communicate with each other, support each other, look out for each other and love each other more than anything in the world is the most beautiful thing to me ever. they’re always so soft, tender and gentle with each other too 🩵

🚨THE WALT DISNEY LAB WITH LEAD GENETICIST Dr Andrew Rourke MD How is it that you create a Hilary Duff a Miley Cyrus from SCRATCH or ANY OTHER CELEBRITY STAR that has walked through Walt Disney? “We use the exact same DNA structure for all of our Stars then we TWEAK minor details like hair colour, or skin tone” “So the stars you see on TV are actually Grown, and Developed in the LABS of Walt Disney.” “They are grown, and developed right here. We engineer their Brains for advanced singing, and dancing capabilities, and even posing for photos. By the time they grow to Desired Size these CHIKD STARS are fully ready for the Camera or Concert Tours or whatever Disney chooses to put them in.” EXAMPLE CLONES Model 6831 - A publicly known as Mitchell Musso standard male base with type 3 skin pigmentation Model 6831 - B slightly thicker eyebrows with type skin pigmentation

Welcome to Imagineer of the Month! In this episode, I discuss Chris Beatty, a Portfolio Executive Creative Director who will oversee every new land coming to Walt Disney World over the next 5 years. Chris has been at Walt Disney Imagineering for over 27 years, previously leading the development of New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge domestically, and much more. In this series, I highlight Imagineers past and present who deserve recognition for their contributions to Disney Experiences. Chris was the perfect choice to start with. All support on this post is greatly appreciated. 🙌

Disney adults say they are spending way to much money on Disney merchandise One woman says she’s 5x over her budget Fans say they have spent thousands in one day of shopping, $1,000 backpacks and one fan spent over $4,000 already for the day Fans are visiting the D23 event by Disney. It’s a fan event at the Anaheim convention center The event is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company. All the vendors are either owned by Disney, brand affiliated or licensed collaborators either Disney The people are spending lots of money because this is essentially a Disney super fan event. Normal people can’t even buy a ticket, you have to pay and subscribe to their golf membership to be able to buy tickets

Walt Disney World used Apple Vision Pros to streamline the live audio mixing process for the recently updated Soarin’ attraction at EPCOT Normally they would have to build a bunch of scaffolding just to support all of the displays and mixing equipment for this use case
