I am Bob Weis, an author and dreamer who believes that if you can imagine it, you can do it. I spent more than four decades as a Disney Imagineer, contributing to every Disney park and resort around the world. My books, Dream Chasing and Ghost Dog, celebrate storytelling, collaboration, and the magic of guest experience, and my work has sparked speaking engagements across the United States, Europe, China, and Japan. As a leader who values the power of ideas, I served as President of Walt Disney Imagineering from 2016 to 2022 and later as a Disney Global Imagineering Ambassador. I’ve led creative development for projects from Tokyo Disneyland to Shanghai Disneyland, reinventions like Disney California Adventure, and the coast-to-coast evolution of guest experiences. Outside Disney, I’ve consulted for institutions such as the Kennedy Space Center, Smithsonian, Rockefeller Center, the U.S. Navy, and Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry, and I continue to explore the intersection of storytelling, technology, and exploration.
