Disney experiences enthrall millions of guests around the world. How does it all become a reality? Find out in this action-packed narrative journey!
Dream Chasing is a recounting by author Bob Weis of four decades of creating and seeing to completion challenging projects, leading teams from the top secret, high-tech corridors of Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) to the highest levels of The Walt Disney Company. Our author recounts working on and overseeing projects that took him from Anaheim, California, to the swampy wetlands of Central Florida, and even on to Paris; Washington, D.C.; Russia; Tokyo; Shanghai; and the massive shipyards of Papenburg, Germany.
As a former Imagineering president, Bob Weis was part of the second generation of Imagineers. His engaging story follows the path of someone who never lost his passion for chasing big innovative dreams in spite of having to navigate over bumpy roads tied to a slew of issues and concerns—grounded in design, technology, politics, and culture (to name a few) just to bring an array of Disney experiences to reality. Bob’s drive was fueled by a belief in something Walt Disney once said: “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible. ”Dreams," as Weis writes, “come from a place of infinite possibilities, from a part of us that doesn’t recognize limits."
Dreams are exciting, frustrating, and sometimes illusive, as hard to hold on to as pixie dust, like glitter falling through your fingers.
”Sometimes they are meant to happen, and they do; sometimes they are meant to happen, and they don’t. But every dream is an adventure, driven by the vision and passion of teams that believe any dream worth doing, is worth chasing."

Historia
Walt Disney left behind big dreams when he died in 1966. Perhaps none was greater than the hope that his son-in-law, Ron Miller, would someday run his studio. Under Miller’s leadership, Disney expanded into new frontiers: global theme parks, computer animation, cable television, home video, and video games. Despite these innovations, Ron struggled to expand the Disney brand beyond its midcentury image of wholesome family entertainment, even as times and tastes evolved.

Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger - think global - and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.

Historia
Patrick, or Gay Uncle Patrick (GUP, for short), has always loved his niece, Maisie, and nephew, Grant. That is, he loves spending time with them when they come out to Palm Springs for weeklong visits, or when he heads home to Connecticut for the holidays. But in terms of caretaking and relating to two children, no matter how adorable, Patrick is, honestly, overwhelmed. So when tragedy strikes and Maisie and Grant lose their mother and Patrick's brother has a health crisis of his own, Patrick finds himself suddenly taking on the role of primary guardian.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Everyone has great ideas in them, but without the right environment those ideas often stay hidden. The best leaders create the environments that allow for all the creativity and magic to flourish. Bob Weis is one of those leaders. Dream Chasing is his story of how he learned to help people shine and howwe can learn to do the same."—Simon Sinek, Optimist and New York Times best-selling author of Start with Why and The Infinite Game
"From working as a Disneyland popcorn and balloon vendor to becoming the architect of a legacy of hope, dreams realized, and making the impossible possible, Bob’s story intimately illustrates how Walt Disney Imagineers bring joy, celebration, and laughter to our guests around the world. As an Imagineer, Bob shares that the making of experiences, both large and small, is a collaborative effort. And more importantly, that every project, whether the narrative is fantastical or real, is approached with creative artistry, skill, passion, and love. Dream Chasing is a must read!"—Carmen J. Smith, SVP, Creative Development—Content, Product & Inclusive StrategiesDisney Experiences, Disney Consumer Products, Walt Disney Imagineering
"Bob’s book is such a terrific read! For someone like me who spent more than fifty-one years at Disney, I so enjoyed discovering the “backstory” of so many pivotal moments in my career! Bob’s “seat at the table” for many decisive moments in Disney Experiences history is unique and provides stories you will no doubt hear for the first time!"—George A Kalogridis, Retired president, Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort

Nate Bargatze used to be a genius. That is, until the summer after seventh grade when he slipped, fell off a cliff, hit his head on a rock, and “my skull got, like, dented or something.” Before this accident, he dreamed of being “an electric engineer, or a doctor that does brain stuff, or a math teacher who teaches the hardest math on earth.” Afterwards, all he could do was stand-up comedy.* But the “brain stuff” industry’s loss is everyone else’s gain because Nate went on to become one of today’s top-grossing comedians, breaking both attendance and streaming records.
