Another RetroMagic in the books!
Thank you to all our presenters, imagineers, volunteers, and to everyone who has supported us these past 10 years!

We’ll see you on the west coast in 2027! #RetroMagic

Time for the Imagineering Lightning Round! We join some of our special guests and remember some of their past colleagues, past RetroMagic guests, and ask a few questions that didn’t relate to their sessions. #RetroMagic

While spending his “retirement” relentlessly chronicling the early decades of Imagineering, Tom K. Morris shares with us uncovered unknown, forgotten and overlooked bits of WDW history. #RetroMagic

Disney Legend Tom Nabbe is joined by Steve Case, Bruce Fox, Ted Meberg and Bob Woodham to tell tales of opening Walt Disney World's monorail system in 1971. #RetroMagic

Imagineers Tim Delaney and Kym Murphy talk about their experiences working on EPCOT Center’s oceanic masterpiece The Living Seas pavilion #RetroMagic

Disney Legend Tony Baxter answers questions submitted by our listeners! #RetroMagic

Historians Hastin Zylstra and Foxx Nolte peel back a bit of fascinating history on Walt Disney World's
"host community", the shopping village and townhomes and how it all ties back to Disneyland and California #RetroMagic

Really enjoying #retromagic10 so far. Lots of great panels @retrowdw.bsky.social

The delightful part of this is that he's was a huge parks nerd, and did the entire one hour Innoventions loop in 2 weeks. That the project lead then said to cut down to 10 minutes. #RetroMagic

Three time Emmy-winning composer/sound designer Russell Brower discusses his career creating sound environments like the beloved “Innoventions Area Loop”, The Living Seas and famous video games. #RetroMagic
