How Walt Disney Imagineering Brought Walt Disney To Life At Disneyland
'Walt Disney – A Magical Life' debuts at the Main Street Opera House in Disneyland Park in Anaheim, ... More Calif., on July 17, 2025.

(Richard Harbaugh/Disneyland Resort) For 70 years, Disneyland has been welcoming guests into a world of make-believe, complete with robotic animals and historical figures from the past like Abraham Lincoln. But for the first time ever, Walt Disney Imagineering has built an Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney, which debuted just in time for the park's official 70th anniversary on July 17, 2025. The figure is part of a new attraction taking over the Main Street Opera House called Walt Disney - A Magical Life. Behind the scenes with Walt Disney Imagineering A new marquee is on display outside of the Main Street Opera House in Disneyland Park in Anaheim, ... More Calif. The new attraction, 'Walt Disney – A Magical Life,' opens on July 17, 2025, and features a cinematic presentation of Walt Disney's journey, culminating in a visit with Walt in his office, made possible through the magic of Audio-Animatronics storytelling. After its initial run, 'Walt Disney – A Magical Life' will play in rotation with 'Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.' (Christian Thompson/Disneyland Resort) This project has been in the works for years. In fact, Tom Fitzgerald, senior creative executive at WDI, shared that the team's first visit to Walt Disney's office was on July 17, 2018, the space of which is recreated in the show. 'It's been a long time coming, and we're excited to finally share this new version of the Walt Disney story with our guests,' said Fitzgerald. Walt Disney - A Magical Life starts with a short film about Disney's life from boyhood to building Disneyland and the start of buying land for Walt Disney World. Then the screen lifts and there's the Audio-Animatronics figure of Disney leaning against a desk in a recreation of his office. This version of Disney is at the height of his career around 1963. 'This was the first time that we've created an Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney. We have done every president and we've done movie stars, but when you say, 'I want to do an Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney,' that brings enormous responsibility, probably as much as Walt felt bringing Abraham Lincoln to life back for the New York World's Fair in 1964,' explained Fitzgerald. One of the most unique things about this show is that all of Disney's words are his own, and not generated by AI or a voice actor. 'Just as the speech that Lincoln gives [in Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln] is made up of different pieces of speeches that he delivers, this section of Walt as an animatronic was made up of different things that he had done, like interviews, pieces from television, and other presentations that we had to seamlessly pull together so that it sounds as if he's right there speaking to you on stage,' said Fitzgerald.

It is a photo of a nine-month-old Walt Disney.

AFP PHOTO/Peter LEMIEUX (Photo credit should read Peter Lemieux/AFP via Getty Images) Walt Disney - A Magical Life was created in partnership with The Walt Disney Family Museum. 'A few years ago, a group from the park and Imagineering flew out and met with the family to introduce this project in a very sensitive and appropriate way. And from there, the collaboration began,' explains Kirsten Komoroske, executive director of The Walt Disney Family Museum. One of the objects of particular interest was a bronze casting of Disney's hands, which included a cast of the rings he regularly wore. The cast was used to help create the Audio-Animatronics' hands, which feature rings on both of Disney's ring fingers. Additionally, The Walt Disney Family Museum and the Walt Disney Archives helped WDI with figuring out props for the recreation of Walt's office, including developing a match for Disney's briefcase that he carried daily, plus clothes for the Audio-Animatronics figure based on what Disney actually wore in his office and on screen for appearances. Advancing technology in the moment for Walt Disney - A Magical Life 'Walt Disney – A Magical Life' debuts at the Main Street Opera House in Disneyland Park in Anaheim, ... More Calif., on July 17, 2025. The attraction features a cinematic presentation of Walt Disney's journey, culminating in a visit with Walt in his office, made possible through the magic of Audio-Animatronics storytelling. (Richard Harbaugh/Disneyland Resort) One thing that helped bring Disney to life was the advancements in technology for Audio-Animatronics figures over the past few years. Even so, Imagineers didn't have everything they needed for the figure, so they had to create more advanced technology on a quick timeline, which WDI calls 'moonshots,' just for the Disney figure. An example of a moonshot for Walt Disney - A Magical Life is the eyes on the Audio-Animatronics figure, which was key to making it look like Disney himself. 'If you know Walt Disney, you know he had very expressive eyebrows, and they meant a lot of things. And that was not something that our animatronics figures were capable of doing,' said Fitzgerald. While watching the show, viewers will now notice how much movement and non-verbal cues are given with the Audio-Animatronics' eyebrows. Even more, many people who watched Disney on TV specials or met him in person often talked about the glint and gleam in his eyes. But again, that was something WDI had never done before, but for the team working on this project, it was a necessity to bring Disney to life in the most realistic way possible. Part of the research team realized the reason humans have that glint is because of the corneal bulge in the eyes. 'So physically, our figures have not had that before. And so they replicated a corneal bulge so that you will see when you look at him, you get that point in the eye, which is amazing,' explains Fitzgerald. Another first for Walt Disney - A Magical Life was having an Audio-Animatronics figure go from leaning to standing, which WDI had never done before. 'We wanted to replicate that feeling of watching him on television because he was often leaning on the desk,' said Fitzgerald. 'Because of those moonshots and all the work that was done, we really believe it's the most fluid performance of an Audio-Animatronics figure we've ever done.' Walt Disney - A Magical Life will eventually play in tandem with Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln, the latter of which was a modern marvel at the time of its debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. Now this new modern marvel featuring the most lifelike human Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney will continue to captivate Disneyland guests, just as Lincoln did in the 1960s.

No, Walt Disney is not cryogenically frozen. But he comes magically back to life at Disneyland
For the first time since Walt Disney's death in 1966, guests at Disneyland can get a lifelike glimpse of the man who started the first animation studios in California, planting the seed that would grow into an international media and entertainment empire. Disney has recreated its founder in its most realistic Audio-Animatronics figure to date, as part of a theater attraction about the humble beginnings and sometimes challenging periods of Walt Disney's life. This marks the first-ever representation of Walt Disney in the medium that he helped pioneer. Disney was fascinated with the technology behind robotic puppets that move and talk in a fluid way. In the 1960s, Disney and his team trademarked Audio-Animatronics as they applied the technology in Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room attraction and made Abraham Lincoln talk and move in a 1964 World's Fair attraction. Using audio clips of interviews from Disney's lifetime, the creative team spent seven years from concept to creation of the new Walt Disney figure, using the most advanced technology available. The figure debuts in a new show, 'Walt Disney – A Magical Life,' on July 17, the 70th anniversary of the park's opening. The show featuring Lincoln, which occupied space in Disneyland's Main Street Opera House for decades, will be temporarily replaced by this new show and eventually be shown again in rotation. While Imagineers and many fans have been excited about honoring their hero this way, the concept was not embraced by all of Disney's family. One of Walt Disney's granddaughters expressed concern that this robotic form of her grandfather would be 'dehumanizing.' CNN was invited to preview the final result, alongside the biggest Disney fans-turned-content creators and influencers. They generally loved the advancement of technology to allow lifelike features and endorsed having this way of introducing the story of Walt Disney to new generations who have had little exposure to the company's founder. The show features a 15-minute film narrated by Disney CEO Bob Iger about Walt Disney's life through the early development of his Florida resort. After the film, the curtains rise to reveal a recreation of Disney's office in Burbank, California, with the man himself leaning back on the edge of his desk. The portion of the show featuring the Audio-Animatronics figure lasts only about 90 seconds, during which it moves, at one point going from leaning to standing up, then putting one hand on his hip as Disney often did in television appearances. 'We really want to convey the quiet stillness of Walt in his office and that feeling that you're there with him. It's personal, and it's intimate,' said Jeff Shaver-Moskowitz, portfolio executive creative producer at Walt Disney Imagineering. Easter eggs are peppered throughout the set, with a replica of Disney's briefcase, books on urban development, a map of Disneyland with upcoming attractions, and a photo of Abraham Lincoln, all of which were in Disney's office in the early '60s. Shaver-Moskowitz, one of the lead creatives on the project, noted that newer generations of Disney fans never had the experience of watching Walt Disney appear on television every week. They may know the company he built, but not the man who struggled to get it off the ground. For example, the film goes through setbacks like Disney losing the rights to his early character Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. 'We really wanted to sort of bring that connection of what we felt growing up with Walt to an audience today,' Tom Fitzgerald, senior creative executive at Walt Disney Imagineering, told a group of journalists. 'The life lessons that he learned are really amazing ones and important ones. Follow your dreams. Never give up, turn setbacks into success and give the world your very best. I mean, those are messages that are as valid today as in Walt's time.' Artifacts in the lobby area of the theater show Walt Disney's early creations, including Audio-Animatronics from attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. Another room shows the original furniture he and his wife had in their apartment inside Disneyland, above the fire station. The show will initially use a virtual queue, where guests can use the Disneyland app to reserve a spot. While early Audio-Animatronics were pneumatic or hydraulic, modern ones are electric. Shaver-Moskowitz said the older technology has the power to make a character stand up more easily on their own. An electric figure doesn't move the entire weight as smoothly, even if the performance is more fluid and quieter, without loud puffs of air. 'But the team did such amazing work on establishing new technologies in this figure that we now have our first all-electric figure that has that lean-to-stand motion,' Shaver-Moskowitz said. Disney said their creative team achieved many innovations never done before in a humanoid figure, including new methods to create more realistic skin and an actual 'twinkle' in his eye. Disney Imagineers also studied muscle structure and nuances of speaking and gesturing, to mimic Walt Disney's mannerisms and movements. One of Walt Disney's granddaughters, Joanna Miller, strongly objected to the project in a post on Facebook in November. In that post, she said that her grandfather never wanted to be in robotic form. 'They are dehumanizing him,' she wrote. 'People are not replaceable. You could never get the casualness of his talking, interacting with the camera, his excitement to show and tell people about what is new at the park,' she wrote, referring to his weekly show about Disneyland. Miller shared with the Los Angeles Times a letter that she wrote to Iger: 'I strongly feel the last two minutes with the robot will do much more harm than good to Grampa's legacy …They will remember the robot, and not the man.' But during a media preview of the show, Kirsten Komoroske, executive director of the nonprofit Walt Disney Family Museum founded by one of Disney's daughters, said three generations of Walt and Lillian Disney's family saw the attraction and were 'so moved and so touched.' When asked about her own reaction to seeing the final project, Komoroske said, 'I was absolutely gobsmacked. The expertise and care that has gone into this is exceptional …Sitting in the audience, it looked like Walt was looking right at me, and I felt the impulse to smile back at him.'

Animatronic Walt Disney stars in new Disneyland attraction
Walt Disney will return to the theme park he created in Southern California later this week thanks to Audio-Animatronics technology and the debut of the new attraction "Walt Disney — A Magical Life." The attraction will open on Thursday, July 17, the 70th anniversary of Disneyland, at the Main Street Opera House in Disneyland Park. It culminates in a visit with an Audio-Animatronics figure of the patriarch himself in his office, sharing stories and words of wisdom with guests. An exhibit about the history of Audio-Animatronics technology in the Main Street Opera House. Photo Credit: Christian Thompson/Disneyland Resort "Creating this figure is an enormous responsibility and one that the team has taken very seriously, likely as seriously as Walt Disney did in creating the Audio-Animatronics figure of Abraham Lincoln so many decades ago," Tom Fitzgerald, senior creative executive of Walt Disney Imagineering, said in a release. "We hope to honor Walt through the art form that he pioneered, and that 'Walt Disney — A Magical Life' will be a permanent tribute here at Disneyland ... the only Disney park Walt ever walked in." While Disney said its teams of Imagineers have considered creating an animatronic of Walt for decades, this particular project has been in the works for seven years. The experience will begin in the lobby of the Opera House with the "Evolution of a Dream" exhibit, featuring art and artifacts related to Disneyland and its history. More than 30 artifacts featured are on loan from the Walt Disney Family Museum. That includes furniture from Walt's private apartment, which was located above the Town Square Fire Station, and has never been on display at Disneyland before. The lobby also features an exhibit detailing the history of Audio-Animatronics technology with figures from Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, It's a Small World and Pirates of the Caribbean attractions. The 'Evolution of a Dream' exhibit in the Main Street Opera House. Photo Credit: Christian Thompson/Disneyland Resort From there, guests will move into the theater for the film "One Man's Dream," then a "meeting" with Walt himself. Most advanced animatronic According to Disney, the Walt animatronic is the most lifelike Imagineering has ever created. It includes several firsts: a "twinkle in the eye," a "lean to stand" motion for an all-electric fin and realistic skin created with new methods. They studied Walt's mannerisms and movements to create the animatronic. To create his performance, they used dialogue actually spoken by Walt. His suit, shoes, tie and rings were meticulously researched, and he appears as he would have around 1963. The office was inspired by his office in Burbank, Calif. Jeff Shaver-Moskowitz, portfolio executive creative producer with Walt Disney Imagineering, said Imagineering worked closely with the Walt Disney Archives and the Walt Disney Family Museum on the details of both Walt and his office. "Most importantly, we were passionate about creating an Audio-Animatronics figure designed specifically for this attraction, delivering a portrayal that has nuances, hand gestures, facial expressions and more — all of the attributes that make this figure's performance feel uniquely Walt and not simply creating a figure to look like Walt," Shaver-Moskowitz added. As guests leave the theater, they'll encounter another exhibit showing Disney's cast members at work over the years. A new mural celebrates Disneyland history and nods of what's to come. When it opens, "Walt Disney — A Magical Life" will employ a virtual queue. After the attraction's initial run, it will share the Opera House with the other attraction that it calls home, "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln." Imagineering redesigned the theater's stage with a rotating turntable, enabling both shows to play in the same location. Disney created the first Audio-Animatronics version of Abraham Lincoln in 1964. It debuted at the New York World's Fair before the show moved to Disneyland in 1965.

Why You Should Plan Your 2025 Disneyland 70th Anniversary Trip in This Specific Window
Disneyland's 70th anniversary celebration is currently underway, and there are a ton of exciting new offerings available! Around every turn, you'll find colorful decor, an abundance of entertainment, special foods, and other magical details throughout the parks. The celebration runs from May 2025 to summer 2026, leaving a pretty big range of time to visit and enjoy the offerings. However, there is one specific window of time that you may want to consider as you're deciding when to visit, especially if you're a big Disneyland history buff! There is a set of new 70th anniversary additions that are opening slightly later this summer, including a new attraction! There is a small window of time in 2025 when you can visit and experience new additions with the full 70th anniversary entertainment, decor, etc., before the seasonal celebrations begin. We'll break down everything you need to know… READ MORE – On Disneyland's actual anniversary date of July 17, 2025, there will be three offerings debuting at Disneyland Park. The most major of these will be a new show featuring the first-ever Walt Disney animatronic called "Walt Disney – A Magical Life' debuting at the Main Street Opera House. The show will tell the story of Walt Disney's life through remastered footage and audio recordings, and at the end, we will see the Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney in his office. Mickey Visit founder Gavin recently visited Imagineering to learn more about this Audio-Animatronic Walt Disney figure and why they are choosing to create it now. Disney says that this will be their 'most lifelike audio-animatronic ever.' This will be a super exciting new addition and a good reason to plan your trip after this date, so you can enjoy this and the rest of the 70th anniversary offerings before the seasonal celebrations begin (see more on this below, including the specific window!) Also debuting on July 17 will be a new gallery experience in the Main Street Opera House, called "Evolution of a Dream," which will feature images, art, and artifacts that show Disneyland before, during, and after Walt's dream became a reality. There will be another special exhibit in the lobby highlighting Audio-Animatronics technology, including Walt's inspiration and how the technology has evolved over time. There will be certain items on loan from The Walt Disney Family Museum, including original items from Walt Disney's private apartment, that have never been publicly exhibited before at Disneyland Park. And last but certainly not least, there will be a third verse added to 'it's a small world' in honor of Disney Legend Richard Sherman on July 17. This verse was Richard Sherman's final Disney contribution. You can read the lyrics of this third verse in our separate article here. This beautiful new verse and the debut of the Walt Disney Audio-Animatronics figure are doubtlessly going to have quite an emotional impact on Disneyland fans. These are all very fitting additions for Disneyland's actual 70th anniversary date. If you want to visit with the full 70th anniversary atmosphere and offerings before the seasonal celebrations kick off at Disneyland, then you'll technically want to visit between July 17 and August 21 this year. We say 'technically' because you'll want to actually visit a few days sooner than August 21 if you want to experience all of the 70th anniversary decor in its full glory, as this is when they'll start putting the Halloween decor up in preparation for the celebration's start date on the 22nd. The 70th anniversary decor will return in full force after the seasonal celebrations end, but this won't be until the holiday celebration ends in January 2026. You can see our guides to Disneyland at Halloween and Disneyland at Christmas for an overview of the offerings and dates of these celebrations. When the seasonal celebrations kick off, we are assuming that the majority of the 70th anniversary decor will be taken down and replaced by Halloween decor. We will likely see some of the 70th anniversary decor remain in places like the castle, esplanade sculpture, etc. For both celebrations, certain entertainment offerings will temporarily pause for seasonal entertainment. For example, Paint the Night will continue throughout the year, but Wondrous Journeys will need to pause for the Halloween and Christmas nighttime spectaculars. Meanwhile, the Disneyland 70th foods and other smaller offerings like the MagicBand+ interaction points and Key to Disneyland scavenger hunt will likely be unaffected by the seasonal celebrations. See our ranking of all of the Disneyland 70th anniversary offerings here. If you want to visit in 2025 with all of the 70th anniversary offerings, including the new show and 'it's a small world' verse, then this window from July 17 to August 21 is the time to do it! READ MORE – There are a few key things to consider for a visit in July! In our Mickey Visit Disneyland crowd calendar, we project that there will be average crowds throughout most of the month, with the exception of weekends. You can also enjoy longer days and expanded hours of operation during this month, which is key for fitting in all of the Disneyland 70th anniversary entertainment. Unfortunately, one downside is that the weather is going to be hot. There are some good ways to stay cool that you'll want to read about in our tips for navigating summer at Disneyland, but you'll definitely want to have a plan for beating the heat!
