Technology of Disney Parks Workshop

Bring magical stories to life through science and technology. Learn about the major role technology has played in enabling Disney to tell immersive stories in our theme parks and Resorts.

Overview

What would you get if you took a science field trip to Disney Parks?

You’d get a technology workshop, an engineering workshop and a STEM workshop all rolled into one! In the unique Technology of Disney Parks Workshop, students will learn how Disney stories are central to everything in Disney Parks and get an inside look at how Disney Imagineers dream, design and use technology and engineering to immerse Guests in those stories. From Audio-Animatronics to light and sound effects and more, students will learn why technology is the most valuable as well as the most challenging tool used in theme park operations every day.
