A Master Class in Imagineering
When we think of Imagineering, we think of Disney theme parks. But Imagineering is a creative process that can be used for nearly any project, once you know how it works. Lou Prosperi distills years of research into a practical how-to guide for budding "Imagineers" everywhere.
The Imagineering Process is a revolutionary creative methodology that anyone can use in their daily lives, whether at home or on the job. Prosperi will teach you first how the Disney uses the Imagineering Process to build theme parks and theme park attractions, and then he'll show you how to apply it to your own projects, "beyond the berm."
You'll learn how to begin as the Imagineers begin, with an evaluation of needs, requirements, and constraints, and then you'll delve into the six stages of the Imagineering Process: blue sky, concept development, design, construction, models, and the "epilogue," where you hold your "grand opening" and assess the effectiveness of what you've built.
From there you'll see the process in action through a selection of interesting case studies drawn from game design, instructional design, and managerial leadership.
At the end of your master class, you may not be a bona-fide Imagineer, but you'll be thinking like one.

Review\n"Once again, Lou Prosperi has mined the secrets of the Imagineering crew -- the people who make the magic at the Disney properties - to bring you tools and tips you can use to enliven your own projects. In Tell Your Story the Walt Disney World Way, Prosperi follows a group of friends as they tour Walt Disney World from entrance to exit, exploring secrets along the way that will enable them to tell their stories -- the projects, ideas, and dreams that they want to bring to fruition. Use this book, and the magic it reveals, to tell your own story." 
--Daniel H. Pink, author of WHEN and DRIVE\n"As I was reading Tell Your Story the Walt Disney World Way, I wondered how Lou had recorded me on the dozens of "WD Eye-level" perspective tours that I have led for the new artists, architects, artisans and clients of Storyland Studios. His book takes you vicariously alongside one of these Imagineer-led tours and offers a completely new perspective on some of the top human mousetraps on the planet. I have been consistently amazed at how Lou has been able to succinctly articulate and translate Imagineering's insider jargon and lingo to "normal people" in other industries. There is more relevance to your "real world" outside of Walt Disney World than you would imagine!" 
--Mel McGowan, Former Imagineer, Chief Creative Officer of Storyland Studios, and Co-Host of the Themed Attraction podcast\n"Lou's unique approach will take you on an experiential journey. As a Disney enthusiast and fellow Disney author, I learned a lot of new information about how Imagineers create and embed the stories that shape the experiences in the Disney parks that we love so much. If you want to feel like you're a part of the storytelling process at Walt Disney Imagineering, Prosperi's book won't disappoint. Tell Your Story the Walt Disney World Way will bring storytelling and Disney magic to life as you experience the Magic Kingdom through the senses and experiences of guests, a Disney travel planner, and a former Imagineer."--Rob Mathews, author of Entrepreneurship the Disney Way\n"Walt Disney was a master of storytelling and attention to detail. He was an animator that constantly pushed the envelope, and eventually created a whole new form of entertainment - the theme park. Many guests do not know the background of the stories that the parks were built upon or how the parks were designed by the Imagineering team - they simply know that "it feels right." For those who would like a deeper dive into the design philosophies and of the Magic Kingdom, this book is perfect. Lou has done a masterful job of giving readers a chance to tag along with a group of friends as they tour the Magic Kingdom, and learn the secrets to how the park is designed to be 'The Most Magical Place on Earth'! I had the opportunity to run the Magic Kingdom for 3 years, and thought that I knew all the stories. Lou has taught me a few new things about the place where I spent many hours walking and entertaining Guests. A great read!" 
--Dan Cockerell, Former Vice President, Magic Kingdom Park\n"As a former Imagineer myself and one who often takes guests on strolls through the parks similar to what Lou has fictionalized in his book, I can definitely say he's hit the nail on the head. By using real-world examples from within the parks themselves, Tell Your Story the Walt Disney World Way gives readers a unique sense of how Disney Imagineers build stories, connect the dots, and, quite simply...make the Magic!" 
--Brian Collins, Former Imagineer & WDI Show Writer\n"As a Brit, I've never actually been to the Magic Kingdom, but boy do I want to visit now, just so I can regale my family with all the interesting facts and stories in this book! Customer experience has become a priority for business in recent years, yet so few companies are doing it well. Maybe this book will help them. Tell Your Story the Walt Disney World Way shares the inside story of how the world's best experience company approaches
