So maybe he’s just teaching classes and not actually involved in the AK redo stuff?

I’ve heard he’s more than this. I’ve heard he’s been brought on as a legitimate consultant (not just for show). I guess we will see.
This of course does not exclude him from doing anything else at WDI.

They didn't say he wasn't doing anything else. They just said he is reaching master classes.

If you read closely, it says the master classes are “work sessions”.
It sounds to me like he’ll be working as a consultant on new projects as younger Imagineers shadow him.
Seems like WDI wanted to announce he was back as a consultant but didn’t want to have to publicly admit that they actually needed him after all this time.

Even if he's just running masterclasses for Imagineers this is surely a good sign that his ethos and expertise are being valued and nurtured. Certainly a more positive news story than not having him involved at all.

My other concern is decisions have already been made as to what they are doing and where, they already filed staging permits, so bringing him in now is interesting. Is it more for details here and there more so than what to do as a whole because I assume that’s already planned out.
I would have felt better if he was involved 1-2 years ago from a wholistic what should go where standpoint.

Right. I’m just trying to temper my expectations. Of course he could do more. Not sure him teaching a couple classes makes that more likely.
Let’s hope the newer Imagineers actually listen to him when he gets to the “How to Wash In-Floor Custom Lighting” lesson. I hear slide 3 is titled “Pretend it’s like a baby’s bottom”.

I think he’s back as a consultant as well. More then just the masterclass.
“A bit of work” could mean anything.

I hope it works out better than the last time they brought back a legendary imagineer (Tony Baxter for his work on TBA).
Is he providing value-added guidance that will be adhered to? Or preemptive window dressing?

The joke is Chester and Hester’s Dinorama is a roadside attraction that was thrown together.
