Whether we're unpacking the "why" behind a storytelling choice, or digging into the challenges of park planning, we aim to keep it insightful, approachable, and always a little bit idiotic.And in our Magic Makers series, we sit down with real creatives from across Disney Parks & Experiences to hear their stories, ideas, and the lessons behind the magic.Whether you're a lifelong Disney fan, an aspiring Imagineer, or just someone who loves a good story well told, Idiot's Guide to Imagineering is your ticket to park talk that's curious, clever, and always a good time.

Monday, 9 March, 2026
What if the most powerful Marvel moment was not a ride at all?This week, Stephen takes us inside The Infinity Stone Ritual, a Marvel merchantainment experience where guests step into Wong’s secret archive, witness the return of the Infinity Stones, and may even be chosen as a new guardian of the universe. Joined by the Queen of Disneyland, Kim Millspaugh (@disney.sme), we explore how story, interactivity, and collectible moments come together to create an experience that is as repeatable as it is magical.Plus, we play a brand-new game, Marvel Letter Flip, where we take classic Marvel movie titles and twist them one letter at a time to create hilariously alternate universes.From hidden rituals to one-of-a-kind merchandise, this episode is a deep dive into what makes Disney themed entertainment endlessly inventive and why sometimes the story is the souvenir.Don't forget to check us out on Instagram!
