Daniel Jue - my 495th pick to be a Disney Legend

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 began his Disney career in 1988, designing displays for Disney Store 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 for Disney Animal Kingdom and the Pirates of the Caribbean enhancements 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, Inc. Ride & Go Seek! at Tokyo Disneyland. From 2007-2011, he lived in Tokyo as design director of Walt Disney Imagineering Japan. His team recently completed Toy Story Mania! for Tokyo DisneySea and an update to Star Tours for Tokyo Disneyland, and is currently working on an update to that park’s Jungle Cruise attraction.
