PRESENTATION: Disney is “The Happiest Place on Earth” because it offers an immersive escape into a world of imagination, magic, and nostalgia. From beloved characters and enchanting rides to environments full of joyful entertainment. Every detail sparks wonder and delight for visitors of all ages. The atmosphere is filled with music, laughter, and storytelling that transports guests away from everyday worries, making it a place where dreams feel real and happiness feels effortless.

And it’s all designed - from the characters and their narratives, to well-crafted rides, to the technology it employs. My team conceived of the Magic Band, and later teams at frog helped develop it and bring it into the world.
