Summary:
Walt Disney Imagineering is one of the most secretive places at The Walt Disney Company. No tours are allowed: the Imagineers- artists, writers, designers, scientists, engineers, architects, and those in almost 140 other disciplines- are always creating new projects to be unveiled four or five years later in one or more of the Disney parks around the world. One Little Spark! is everyone's "insider's view" into the world where Disney park dreams are born and built!.
