When Disney Imagineer Joe Rohde announced his retirement last November, it was a shock to Disney fans. Rohde is famous for being the leading mind behind Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the Aulani Resort by Disney in Hawaii, Pandora – The World of Avatar, Adventurers Club, and much more (including his large collection of earrings). Rohde grew a strong fanbase, one that Disney certainly promoted on numerous occasions. So, when you lose the fan-made current “king” of Walt Disney Imagineering, what do you do? You make a new one. In comes Imagineer Zach Riddley.
