Welcome to Idiot’s Guide to Imagineering, the podcast where big ideas, thoughtful conversations, and a little bit of chaos come together to explore the past, present, and future of Disney Parks.

Hosted by a team of former Cast Members, lifelong Disney fans, and self-proclaimed “Idiots” (a title we wear proudly), we reimagine Disney Parks by creating our own original concepts that blend creativity, storytelling, and real-world practicality. From rides and resorts to restaurants and entire lands, each episode features a fresh pitch designed not just to entertain, but to break down how Imagineering actually works and why certain choices resonate with guests in the first place.

But this is not just a podcast, it is an experience. With immersive audio production and narrative-driven segments, we bring our ideas to life in a way that makes you feel like you are right there in the parks with us.

Our projects are the starting point, but the real focus is what they reveal about design, innovation, guest experience, and the evolving landscape of themed entertainment. Whether we are unpacking the “why” behind a storytelling choice or digging into the challenges of park planning, we aim to keep it insightful, approachable, and always a little bit idiotic.

And in our Magic Makers series, we sit down with real creatives from across Disney Parks and Experiences to hear their stories, ideas, and the lessons behind the magic.

Whether you are a lifelong Disney fan, an aspiring Imagineer, or just someone who loves a good story well told, Idiot’s Guide to Imagineering is your ticket to park talk that is curious, clever, and always a good time. You might even start to see the parks in a way you never have before.

Step into the story with us and imagine what comes next.

Stephen, Kaity, Jenny, and Marissa announce all 20 audience-voted categories, celebrating the very best in Imagineering, themed entertainment, Disney Parks, and a few achievements the industry has somehow failed to recognize until now.

Voting runs through November 16, and every vote is anonymous. We picked the field. You decide what gets the D-Ticket.

    🗳️ VOTE in the 2026 D-Ticket Awards ballot here!

    Idiot’s Guide to Halloween
    26 Oct 2026

    Happy Halloween, HallowIdiots!

    We’re celebrating Halloween the IGTI way. Stephen and Marissa are bringing back the attraction they created live with all of you, this time as a fully produced ride experience. Then Amanda, Jenny, Marissa, and Stephen put some beloved Disney attractions on the chopping block in Kill It, Keep It, Haunt It.

    One gets destroyed. One stays exactly as it is. And one gets a Halloween overlay. Choose carefully.

    Plus, we’re officially welcoming Hannah Hood, Senior Travel Advisor with ConciEARS, as IGTI’s travel partner! If you’re planning a Disney, Universal, cruise, or theme park vacation, Hannah can help with everything from resorts and tickets to the details you didn’t realize you needed.

    Plan your trip with Hannah through our IGTI link here!

    Happy Haunting! 👻

  • Why Lakeshore Lodge Has Us Rethinking Disney Theming

    Why Lakeshore Lodge Has Us Rethinking Disney Theming
    19 Oct 2026

    Lakeshore Lodge has been called generic, sterile, and even proof that Disney resort theming is disappearing.

    But the more Disney reveals, the less convinced we are.

    In this offseason conversation, Stephen and Jenny look at what Lakeshore Lodge might be telling us about the future of Disney resort design, from its playful new recreation spaces and nature-driven storytelling to its contemporary architecture, DVC influence, and complicated relationship with Fort Wilderness.

    Along the way, we dig into a bigger question inspired by Joe Rohde’s approach to design: what does “theme” actually mean? Is it the architecture, the decoration, the characters, or the deeper idea connecting everything together?

    This is not a defense of Lakeshore Lodge, and it is not a verdict on a resort that has not opened yet. It is a conversation about whether Disney theming is disappearing, or simply changing where and how it shows up.

    And maybe the real question is this:

    How subtle can Disney theming become before it stops feeling like Disney?
