Former Imagineer Joe Rohde is returning to Walt Disney Imagineering to teach master class work sessions.

In a post shared to the Walt Disney Imagineering Instagram account, it was revealed that Joe Rohde would return to Imagineering to lead master class work sessions for fellow Imagineers to attend. The full announcement reads as follows:

“Beginning this week, Imagineers have an opportunity to participate in a series of master class work sessions led by Joe Rohde. Following in the footsteps of many former Imagineers, Joe continues to mentor and share his years of storytelling knowledge with current Imagineers, contributing to the future of creativity at Walt Disney Imagineering.”

Before the announcement was made, Rohde teased his return with a video posted to Instagram of him walking toward the Walt Disney Imagineering building with the caption “Do a bit of work at the old farm.”

Rohde retired from Imagineering in 2021 after 40 years in the industry. Earlier this month it was announced that he’d be honored as a Disney Legend at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event 2024. In the wake of the D23 announcement, Rohde took to Instagram to thank his fellow Imagineers and park guests. Rhode’s impact can be felt throughout the Disney Parks, having had a hand in projects such as Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Pandora: The World of Avatar, Aulani, and Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission Breakout, to name a few.
