Ray Spencer spent more than 20 years at Walt Disney Imagineering, ultimately becoming Executive Creative Director responsible for many Disney Parks projects as well as the design of Disney hotels, shops, and restaurants.

Prior to becoming an Imagineer, Ray consulted with many of the industry’s top firms including Disney, Universal, IMAX, BRC Imagination Arts, nWave Pictures, and many others in helping to create memorable lifetime experiences for guests and their families. Spencer has been a team member on over 11 Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) award-winning projects.

Since opening over 10 years ago, we have sought to make the museum a place where our guests could find animation, innovation, and inspiration and immerse themselves in the remarkable life story of Walt Disney—the man who raised animation to an art, tirelessly pursued innovation, and created a distinctly American legacy, transforming the entertainment world.

Over the course of our current closure, we have increased our digital presence to stay true to our mission. Your donations ensure that we can continue opening our museum virtually to the world, and that future generations can continue to be inspired by Walt Disney’s life and legacy.
