The Imagineer Behind EPCOT’s Transformation Just Got Promoted

So let’s talk about this HUGE EPCOT transformation that has been underway for several years now.

EPCOT

That transformation has involved a LOT — the front of EPCOT even looks different now, with a new fountain and lighting on Spaceship Earth. EPCOT even got a new attraction (Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), with another (Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana) on the way. Well, the Disney Imagineer who oversaw a lot of that work just got a promotion with the company.

Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley has been promoted to Global Creative Strategy Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering, according to his Instagram bio and LinkedIn profile.

In case his name seems familiar, we’ve mentioned him a LOT here on DFB, mostly in connection with updates on the EPCOT transformation. He has shared a LOT of updates about the construction projects at EPCOT and has kept us informed of new projects on the way. We don’t know if we’ll continue to get those updates from him, or if his new position will have him working with other things, but we would like to extend our congratulations all the same!
