Tony has played a key role in the design and creation of many Disney attractions and theme parks of the last 40 years, including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, the Indiana Jones Adventure and the overall creative role for Disneyland Paris. Now a senior vice president of Creative Development and creative director of Disneyland Park, Tony is responsible for providing imaginative ideas and input for Walt Disney's original theme park. Some of his recent projects as creative executive include the refurbishments and re-openings of the 3D space adventure Captain EO (for which he worked as a producer on the original), Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln and the Sleeping Beauty Castle walkthrough attraction. Tony welcomes your questions about his career and Imagineering accomplishments, but may not be able to answer questions concerning projects currently in development at Disneyland Resort.

You can begin submitting your questions on Tuesday, March 2 at 2 p.m. PT. Starting at that time, you can come back to this page to begin submitting your questions and on Thursday, March 4 return to this page to join the live chat!

Not sure how many D23 members are on this site but this is our best chance to ask him about the rumors (is dreamfinder coming back? Anything planned for Epcot? Will EO come to Epcot?, etc.) and find out why WDW isnt getting the love DL is getting!

If nothing else it will be good for the D23 members to let Baxter know how much the fans want a good Imagination ride and dreamfinder back!

Who is in the Tony Baxter role for WDW? Is there any one imagineer? If there isn't, my question to him would be, why not?

I'd like to know more about how he Imagineered his own house. I saw an article once a long time ago that had some very cool shots of his house, and I wish I still had those pics. Anybody know if they exist online?

I am a member but won't be able to get on at that time- do you think they will post a summary of what was asked etc. or do you think I am out of luck if 2-3 doesn't work in my schedule?

I'm going to try to make sure I catch this on Thursday. I know many are hopeful to get some info on JII, but I think the title of this chat is about as far as we are going to get. The summary above makes it pretty clear what Tony's current role entails at DL. I still hope he can shed some light on WDW as well.

Would be nice if they would fix WDW's Tiki Room! DLR show is doing great while our UNM Iago thing is not so much. Hmm...simple fix: bring it here.

If anyone has more please let me know.
