Jim Fanning's Tulgey Wood TV - VIP Visit With Ray Spencer, Walt Disney Imagineer

by Jim Fanning

Join me for a fascinating and inspiring visit 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, we talk about Ray's start as a designer, which Walt Disney World attractions he loves best, his defining passion for trains (just like a certain person named Walt), working with Disney Legends such as John Hench and Tony Baxter, and much more. Enjoy—and be sure and check back for Part 2 next week!
