As lead creative executive for Disney’s first international resort,
Daniel Jue oversees the visioning and development of Tokyo Disney Resort
and leads Imagineers in Glendale, Calif., and Tokyo, Japan. He is my my 495th pick to be a Disney Legend.
Daniel

locations. He transferred to Walt Disney Imagineering in 1990 as a show
set designer, responsible for the look and feel of an attraction’s
physical scenes, and worked on such projects as Tower of Terror at
Disney Hollywood Studios in Florida, and Indiana Jones™ Adventure at
Disneyland Park in California. Daniel later became production designer
and field art director for Test Track at Epcot and Pooh’s Hunny Hunt at
Tokyo Disneyland, and served in various production design and field art
direction roles on several other attractions such as Expedition Everest

at Disneyland Park and Tokyo Disneyland. Daniel has also been involved
with developing tools for programming ride vehicles on such attractions
as Toy Story Midway Mania! at Disney California Adventure and Monsters,
