Becoming a Disney Imagineer



Walt Disney Flies Over The Disney Site Before Construction

Cinderella's Castle Under Construction

Disney Opening Day 1971



If you've ever been to Walt Disney World no doubt you have been amazed by the thrill rides, shows and the beautiful landscape. Even if you haven't been to the Park in Florida, you have most likely heard about the spectacle that is Walt Disney World.

Disney World was opened way back in 1971. To the amazement of people all over the world Disney World was created on swamp-land and transformed into a magical theme park. The transformation wasn't easy. Walt Disney employed a group of very skilled mathematicians, archetects, engineers, artists and construction workers to make his vision a reality.

In class we are going to turn math into reality by designing our very own theme parks. How is it possible to take our learning goal of measuring and constructing lines, angles and shapes and transform our understanding into a unique theme park?
