Blog by an imagineer?

[lisakramer]

Does anyone know of a good blog that's written by an imagineer?
I'm just looking for a fun read that gives some interesting info re the parks, etc. Behind the scenes, creativity, stuff like that.
Thanks!

Don't know of any blogs but Joe Rohde https://twitter.com/Joe_Rohde is on twitter. Most of his posts are about his travels and other work.

Disney undoubtedly limits what current imagineers say in public.

It sounds like you might be looking for something like what Marty Sklar' recently wrote: http://www.amazon.com/Dream-It-Do-Half-Century-Creating/dp/1423174062 (assuming you haven't already read it).

My daughter in as Imagineer and extremely careful what she says and who she talks to about anything job related. I don't think she would ever have a Disney blog. She felt the same even when she worked at DLR.

Interestingly, she told me last week they had an in-service, and in one of the sections Joe Rohde in the audience. She chose not to sit at his table since she is still intimidated by him and his reputation. She said he his comments were outstanding, of course. Most of us regular people would be awed to sit with him!

Thats probably true for most imagineers. Thats why on twitter they don't talk about anything Disney related to often.

I introduced myself to Joe Rohde at a quick service restaurant at Aulani last October. He was the nicest person you would ever want to meet!!! It was a highlight of my trip.

My daughter saw two large men near Mickey's of Glendale while she was bringing her lunch back to her office. She listened closely and confirmed it was John and Kevin. I asked her if she said hello but she didn't want to bother them. She has not met them before as we have done on the various podcast trips. My comment is, probably another record day of sales at Mickey's even though Pete wasn't there.
