Since we all know EPCOT is about looking to the future, if anyone has an technology idea do EPCOT give grants to help development? I have had such an idea, not sure 100% if it will work, but I'm gonna try and make a small model, but a real model would cost alot of money, which i don't have, if my idea proves to work, do the managers at the EPCOT centre give development grants?

Also, amoung my many dreams in life, which i am determined to achieve, i want to be a Disney Imagineer, any Imagineers who use this site i could speak to?

No !!

There ARE Imagineers on this site...

Can You talk to them?

Yes..

But NOT about the tings you want them to...

The ONLY thing you could do is, send your full resumé to:

Walt Disney Imagineering
1401 Flower St.
P.O. Box 25020
Glendale, CA 91221-5020

I see we share a dream. and i would like to second the quote about talking to the imagineers.
 
What kind of technology are you talking about, being a holder of two patents on two seperate technolgoies of which I have invented, I would know that there are other companaies that you can get grants from to further research and develope intelecctual properties.

For this to happen though I would have to ask

One is this patentable?

Most companies like this so they may be able to patent it, or if it is already patented to have the possiblity of getting exculisve liscencing rights.

Two What type of technology does this fall under?

Not the specific idea per say but what type of thing woudl it be, are we talking about something exclusive to the theme park world, are would it be expandanble elsewhere, I would think that there would be no grants given for theme park research so if it is applicable elsewhere you might have a shot.

In short Disney does not give out grants but other comapnies and organizatiosn do

Also DIsney does not except ideas, to to leagle debaiocles

Which leads to to another odd question, Mr. orby55, I find it interesting how once again you are compriising your job securutiy by possible putting yourself in a conflict of intrest, I would assume somone of your stature would now what legeal problems your company has had in the past of empolyes having any contact what so ever with people who have potential ideas to propose, secondly I find it rather peculiar that your job title has changed over the last week or so from head of Entertainment to head of that and Creativity, congrats on the premotion, I was not aware that the later title even exsited at the company, they must have made the title just for you, cause surley you would not be frasulently claiming to hold this position, because the Disney Company would have reasonable grounds to sue you for pretneting to offically be a person or title in the company in which you are not and thereby mis-represtining the company, for that matter your legal and I believe national law enforcmetn agencies could take legal action for identiy theft, which is a growing problem on the internet these days, so for your sake I sure do hope you are who you say you are and posses the titles that you have so gracisouly shared with us.

my idea is on a far larger scale than the theme park world, i'm currently trying to design it on paper, then if possible i'll make a scale model, but that would be very difficult, working with equations at the moment
