It’s time to descend into the darkness! Your favorite idiots are back, and we’re kicking off the Season 3 premiere of Idiot’s Guide to Imagineering with our most wicked ideas yet. Grab your cauldrons and summon your curses, because this episode is all about embracing the villainy we love to hate. But don’t expect the obvious—we’ve got something far more sinister (and creative) up our sleeves.

As we unveil our first Imagineering Project of the Week, you’ll hear a devilishly clever proposal that taps into one of Disney’s most anticipated expansions. We’ve gone bigger, bolder, and badder this time around, leaving no stone unturned as we craft a plan that would make even Maleficent proud. And trust us—it’s something so perfect, Josh D’Amaro might just want to take notes.

What is this dark and daring concept? Where will it live in the parks? And who’s ready to check in for the ultimate villainous escape? You’ll have to listen to find out… but we promise, this episode builds to a VERY BIG SURPRISE about one of our hosts at the end that you absolutely need to hear. Don’t miss it!
