About this listen

What happens when a land gets rethemed but an existing attraction no longer fits the story?

This week, Stephen is joined by Kaity and Jenny as we head to Disneyland to reimagine The Rescuers in Bayou Country. We explore how Imagineering uses story cohesion, ride systems, and immersive details to make a space feel intentional and alive. It is about using every element of a land from lighting to animatronics to emotional beats to tell a story that guests can fully believe in without relying on a mega-IP.

Along the way, we dig into small-footprint creativity, clever queue storytelling, and why Disneyland thrives with subtle story-driven experiences. Plus, soaring on sardine cans, albatross shadows, and all the details that bring this classic story to life.
