Volk-Weiss believes there would be no show without the approval of Bob Weis, president of Imagineering, Creative, and New Experience Development. Viewers hear from Weis and also Jeanette Lomboy, vice president and site portfolio executive of Walt Disney Imagineering, who is featured in five episodes. Growing up 10 minutes from the park, she started her career in 1995 as an attractions operator. That opportunity alone was a dream come true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe create these magical worlds and impossible things and things that help make memories for guests, but that is only half the story. In so many ways, it\u2019s been refreshing to pull [the series] together for our guests to see how the magic is made,\u201d said Lomboy, who oversees all Walt Disney Imagineering efforts and various pieces of Disneyland Resort and Disney\u2019s Hawaiian slice of paradise Aulani. \u201cIt dates all the way back to Walt and the 1950s.
