A brand-new adventure awaits in the Magic Kingdom! This week, Stephen takes the lead as we imagine an expansion beyond the berm—introducing New Adventureland: Polynesia! With two breathtaking islands to explore, guests will set sail to Motunui, home of Moana, and step into the lively village of Kokaua from Lilo & Stitch. From high-energy fun to tranquil island escapes, this land brings heart, humor, and a touch of mischief to the park. Plus, we dive into the logistics of this expansion, from themed pathways to seamless transitions under the train tracks.

S3 E8: New Adventureland: Polynesia

Welcome to Idiot’s Guide to Imagineering, the podcast where creativity meets the magic of Disney! Hosted by passionate former Disney Cast Members, we bring a fresh, thoughtful, and wildly fun approach to reimagining Disney Parks. As self-proclaimed "Idiots"—a title we wear with pride—we dive headfirst into the art of Imagineering, balancing storytelling, innovation, and a deep love for theme park design.&nbsp; Combined with immersive audio production, our episodes transport you into the worlds we create, making every idea feel like a real Disney experience.&nbsp; Each episode, we take on the challenge of designing something new for Disney Parks &amp; Experiences—whether it’s a ride, restaurant, resort, or even an entire land. With an Imagineer’s mindset, we pitch creative yet practical ideas that could actually work in the parks, considering real-world constraints like technology, budgets, and guest experience. It’s the perfect blend of dreaming big and thinking smart, all while keeping that signature Disney magic at the heart of it. And in our Magic Makers series, we sit down with the real visionaries behind Disney Parks &amp; Experiences to hear their stories and insights firsthand. Whether you’re a theme park enthusiast, a creative thinker, or just here for the fun, Idiot’s Guide to Imagineering is your ticket to an adventure in possibility. So step into the story with us—imagine, dream, and maybe even design the next great Disney attraction.
