838 · Walt Disney Imagineering Chief Creative Officer Bruce Vaughn on the Future of the Disney Parks

What happens when you sit down with the head of Walt Disney Imagineering… and just hit record? In this exclusive, unscripted conversation, Bruce Vaughn, Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Imagineering, shares stories, insights, and opens up for a behind-the-scenes look at the future of the Disney Parks - and the emotion, magic, and meaning behind it all.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored the people, places, and legacy of Imagineering. This time, we look ahead. Join me for an authentic and personal discussion about creativity, storytelling, leadership, and the next generation of magic makers.

We talk about Imagineering’s evolving philosophy, lessons from Walt, reverse mentoring, innovation vs. nostalgia, and how emotion is the true product of everything Disney builds.

Whether you’re a Disney fan, creative professional, or entrepreneur, you’ll walk away with inspiring insights on leadership, storytelling, and building experiences that last a lifetime.
