One of the highest honors at The Walt Disney Company is the Walt Disney Legacy Award — a recognition reserved for those who exemplify what it means to Dream, Create, and Inspire. This year, we are thrilled to celebrate twelve Imagineers who have earned this prestigious distinction: Anne Campbell, Faith Haslebacher, Lisa Ingrassia, Mike Jusko, Tekla Lazio, Evan Miga, Erik Neinstedt, Ron Ortiz, Ray Scanlon, Brittany Smith, Peter Stepniewicz, and Tony Yang. We are incredibly proud of their contributions and the magic they bring to Disney every day! Congratulations all ✨

Well hi there my name is Bill Frank I was the first artist hired to open Disney world and in my years there I designed and built the animated windows on main Street I still have all my original drawings and pictures of all the windows I did
I was lucky enough to work under Peter Stepniewicz during my internship at Disney. He was always emphatic about delivering high quality solutions and ensuring that we had plenty of opportunities to grow and learn. Well earned!!

6dAfter almost 40 years in private practice, I can honestly say that being offered to help teach the Imagineers was one of the coolest and best experiences in my career. My family is a true 'Disney Family'. We have always loved visiting the park! (In fact, we just got back from a trip.) Being offered the opportunity to help them do what it is they do so well was simply amazing! Being able to see and learn how they do it was even better!!!!! As an Architect, I feel very luck to be able to create a building or a space which moves people. These folks have created an entire World which moves people! From Mr. Disney's original concept through today, the park continues to grow and evolve. As he said, "The park will never be finished." Thank you!
