In 1963, Walt Disney debuted modern Audio-Animatronics technology, which has since become a staple across Disney parks. We visited a training area to view an eight-foot (2.4-meter) A-100 Audio-Animatronics figure and learned about the history of hand development. The team was busy but kind enough to give us a preview of what they were working on. I felt like a kid in a candy store. I was given the opportunity to capture life from behind the scenes at Walt Disney World Resort. Stay tuned for more of what makes Disney possible in the coming weeks and months.
