How To Become An Imagineer.

As we cover a whole bunch of Disney events, we usually see the same people covering those same events from other media outlets. One of those people that I’ve gotten to know over the years is named Mark Eades. Mark isn’t the traditional reporter though. He knows the magic. He is a former Walt Disney Imagineer.

Mark usually is a known face by cast members and media alike because before he was reporting for our local county’s publication, he was telling stories by working on some of our favorite Disneyland attractions like Star Tours and Splash Mountain. When I learned about this special side to Mark, I wanted to sit down with him and ask him a question that  I, as a kid, and even grown adults looking for careers are still want to know the answer to: how do I become an Imagineer?

I had that chance to sit down with Mark a few months ago and he gave me four “E’s” that helped him get a job at Imagineering and strived in it.

Mark Eades’ E’s To Becoming An Imagineer:

By having these traits under your own belt, you yourself, just like Mark, are on your way to accomplishing anything…perhaps even applying to be the next Imagineer!
