News Former Walt Disney Imagineer Joe Rohde to be honored as a Disney Legend at D23 2024

Define ābrokenā. Because all of the in-ground lights were working 6 weeks ago, but were doing static, solid colors that would change every few minutes.
Joe was incognito - He wasnāt wearing a hat.

"Fans of the female anatomy will surely appreciate this planter. It was supposed to be a fountain, but that was thought to be too suggestive..."

It makes me so unbelievably happy that Rohde is back. Legitimately the best-case scenario.

In the original post look at the 2 imagineers following behind with glum faces dragging their feet I donāt think it was a really good day. But I donāt see any car or optimism in their faces at all. They donāt even look like they like their jobs.

Do yall think they are going to be able to keep his involvement on projects a secret until d23 at this point? Lol.

They really did make it such a gorgeous lush area. I love it.

A unobjectionable improvement, design-wise.
A few details - and 1/4 of the existing structure - away from perfection.

Definitely not perfect but i agree itās much better than the 94 version by far.

Honestly end capping Everest with "WELCOME TO THE HIMALAYAS!!!" would actually improve it, I think?

Ever see the Everybody Loves Raymond episode when Marie makes a sculpture and they bring it home?

It would be pretty crazy if, after having Imagineers tour with him, you start to see some follow up changes as a result.
I mean, the new garden areas are nice, but what are they? What does the area convey to the park guest that enters it? I follow Joe on Instagram and his posts show his level and depth of understanding in terms of theming, place-making, etc. There guy is brilliant and he gets it.
You can tell the younger group odd Imagineers that held through the Chapek years donāt have āitā in terms of fully understanding themed entertainment. When I saw that Joe was brought back to teach master classes to the younger generation of Imagineers I was thrilled. I hope his role grows beyond that.
