Our “How Things Work” series is BACK! This week we’re talking to Raymond Kinman, Master Woodcarver and Former Disney Imagineer! Ray is the artistic force behind SO many things you have seen inside Disney theme parks because…his work is often the first thing you’ll see! Ride marquee signs for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, restaurants like Rancho Del Zocalo and even…one of Disney’s most famous thrill rides!

Hear all about how this fascinating art form is made, and trust me — you’ll never look at the details of Disneyland and Walt Disney World the same way!!!!
