There were surveys out about guests wanting/liking escape-room-like experiences and other large installation exploration spaces.

Imagineering Speculation?

I know the one person that will never get laid off at TWDC.....the person who updates and creates all the organizational charts.
Poor guy probably never sleeps.

I was going to say the same. This is literally what WDI does already. Did they really get so confused that they need a fancy new name to remember their jobs?Isn’t that exactly the same as what they’ve been already doing.....just with extra steps?

Seems like Bob jumped the gun a bit on this
Yes but this makes their Instagram profile look that much better.

So if they are expanding to include "New Experience Development" now, what the hell have they been doing this whole time? WDI has been mere child's play until now with new experiences to come!

Wait... WDI is about to now enter the realm of Developing Experiences... that are New™?!?!?!
Someone should tell them... it's ALL Imagineering.

So if this is true, that’ll looked great on LinkedIn.
Good thing Imagineering never, ever, ever did anything before concerning new innovative experiences. About time they branched out.

This is the exact reason I didn’t over hype the announcement. Haha

So its either the Sir Brayden sippy cup or they are now in charge of making up new cupcakes.

My theory is that this is beyond the theme parks... i.e. putting things like Galactic Starcruiser in Urban Locations.

Still stuff Walt Disney Imagineering already did. They were involved in the original Disney Store and I believe the Imagination Park concept as well. They were involved in Disney Regional Entertainment (DisneyQuest, ESPN Zone and Club Disney) and Jay Rasulo’s other regional entertainment attempts. They’ve been involved in projects outside of Disney like Encounter at LAX.

Disney Research which worked hand in hand with WDI does plenty outside the parks too. This seems like a name or wording change more than anything.

as others have said it seems like either
a) just a change to the wording of the job description
and/or
b) there might be a new focus on developing more regional experiences

I wonder: it seems WDI has had some involvement in that new Disney+ series. But this feels more like tactile or virtual experiences?

I think they just need some new blood for their social media team. Universal's social media team is killing it. Their tweets are witty, funny, and relatable and always up to date. Some of Disney's IG/Twitter posts seems like they are too desperate to fit in with the kids.
