Watched all the way through. It's great to listen to the people that made my home park possible. Although the perfect park can be found with individual aspects of each Disney property, Paris is definitely the representitive for 'Castle Park'.
Wonderful interview, thanks a lot ! I had the chance to meet him a year ago with Tony Baxter for a short Film I'm directing, and they are really kind and inspiring !
At 18:57 Tim Delaney says those were the days big-time attractions cost *90 million dollars.* Blows my mind 🤯 Thank you, WDWNT for this great interview!
Adjusted for inflation, that would be approximately $178 million today. Still a relatively small amount, considering how much it cost to build E-ticket attractions today.
Oh man, Discoveryland and Space Mountain were absolutely forming for me as a teenager - I was that young kid in 1992 and 1995, Tim. It's the last attraction I enjoyed with my father before his health deteriorated. I think I've watched the BBC Shoot for the Moon documentary about a 100 times. Thanks Tim and the gang for giving Europe a beautiful park, thanks Tom for the interview! Ps. One minor complaint, perhaps you could focus the person talking as a large picture, so its easier to see what their illustrating with their hands and have to other person in a small picture in picture.
Talk is cheap so why is the design of the new attractions going down hill??? Pieces of flat plywood as back drops... Projection screens instead of true set pieces........ Doesn't sound like Disney creative.....

I am an aging over 50 person in a now multiple country IT company, Sometimes I get from young project managers on a rollout that I shouldn't spend 2% of the budget pre helping users to help themselves through the process quickly and correctly. It costs more, but to a different. spreadsheet,, and more expensive, i.e. 8% of the budget to help them is more have meetings in paid for pubs and restaurants.
Great interview. I am from Europe and Disneyland Paris was pretty much my childhood themepark. I like it so much. Such a great park. It’s so sad that it didn’t get that much expansions as the other parks.
I really enjoy these interviews!! Thank you Mr. Delaney for spending time with us and talking about your experience. These interviews are in depth and unique. I listened to the whole thing.
What a fantastic interview! Thanks Tim for taking the time to go deep! I wish Tim could facilitate an interview with Michael Eisner - what was Michael's perspective on building the parks?
Another great interview! I love these, they're so insightful and really make you feel nostalgic, even when it's for parks and rides you've never experienced personally.
Fascinating! Thank you very much for this. Disneyland Paris is my home park and Gosh, so many happy memories. Grateful to all the Imagineers for the amazing work! 30 years later the park shines Brighter than ever.
Thank for this! I JUST went to DLP for the first time a few weeks ago. I arrived just in time for the “Dream… and Shine Brighter” show in the central hub and it surprisingly brought me to tears. Hearing this interview, now I realize it was the show AND the crowd, and the cast members working the route, lipsynching and doing a subtle version of the choreography. That energy and spirit is PRICELESS. I grew up in So California so went to Disneyland on a regular basis. DLP made me feel like I was “home” in a place I was visiting for the first time. The entire team who designed and built that park created a masterpiece.
Another fascinating interview! I was happy to see that the interview was so long! I could listen to this stuff all day. Tim Delaney always has such insightful stories to tell about his work.
So glad he talked about needing kinetic energy in the theme park! So many new Disney attractions are stuck indoors and lead to lifeless lands. Epic Universe won't have this problem, what with so many outdoor rides.
This interview was amazing! I wish *beyond words* that an interview like this would happen with Joe Rohde... The Animal Kingdom park experience will always be my favorite....
"if I'm going on too long, cut me off" Me listening, fully prepared to not eat, drink or leave, and would die in place if he kept talking for a full week
Hearing stories from former and current imagineers is great. I wish one would come to Fort Wilderness and tell stories around the camp fire nights.
I can listen to these stories for days! thanks Tom for getting these great interviews! now let's hope DLP brings back the moon someday!
This content is priceless. Thank you all so much.
As a big Disneyland Paris fan and vlogger, this was so interesting to watch - thank you!

Can he come back and fix Disneyland Tomorrowland?
😂
Man. Disney REALLY needs people like him that have an actual vision and passion.

Tim is a remarkable talent and working with him was always a delight! His castle is the best of them all!
These interviews are incredible! Please keep them coming. I love it all!

Thank you very much for this wonderful interview who is very informative, very entertaining and very passionate !

I think that's because the Studio park needs all the help it can get.

Another side of Frank Wells is that he was a mountaineer. The man was multifaceted. Read Seven Summits by Frank Wells and Richard Bass.

Enjoyed the interview and the channel.
It’s a two hour interview that came out an hour ago.
Loved this. Thank you.

Would love to talk to Joe
Grew up going to Walt Disney World and Disneyland, but I have to agree that Disneyland Paris' "castle park" is the most beautiful.
Love the interview, but Tom is low key styling on me with that dragon on the desk. What a great piece.
"if I'm going on too long, cut me off"
Me listening, fully prepared to not eat, drink or leave, and would die in place if he kept talking for a full week
Please do an another interview with imagineer on TDL 40th Anniversary!
We have an interview with Eddie Sotto coming up for the 40th.
Oh hey this happened like 12 years ago but I think I met this guy. Wish my memory was better.
timekeeper was a masterpiece i want timekeeper back.

Changing his Space Mountain to Star wars is one of the biggest crimes disney has ever committed.
