Jim Fanning's Tulgey Wood TV - VIP Visits with Ray Spencer, Disney Imagineer, Part 2

by Jim Fanning

Join me the second part of my fascinating and inspiring talk with Tulgey Wood TV's latest VIP, Ray Spencer. Ray's Walt Disney Imagineering career spans 20 years, in which time he ultimately became Executive Creative Director responsible for many Disney Parks projects as well as the design of Disney hotels, shops, and restaurants. During the course of our visit, Ray reveals the creative strategy and design approach to the addition of Buena Vista Street, including the Carthay Circle Theatre and the Storyteller statue to Disney California Adventure, and more.
