Pushing the Color: How Kim Irvine Helped Shape Disneyland - Imagine That: Ep. 51 Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Imagine That!, Amanda and Kevin shine a light on one of Disneyland’s most influential behind-the-scenes creatives: Imagineer Kim Irvine.

From feathering Tiki Room birds in the model shop for the Magic Kingdom to becoming Disneyland’s longtime steward of color, story, and visual continuity, Kim Irvine helped shape the park in ways guests may never fully realize. We talk about her unique Imagineering legacy, her ties to Disney history through her mother Leota Toombs, and the many projects she helped bring to life — including Sleeping Beauty Castle, Haunted Mansion Holiday, it’s a small world, the Jungle Cruise, and the Adventureland Treehouse.

It’s a conversation about artistry, preservation, mentorship, and what it means to carry forward the original intent of Disneyland while still allowing it to grow and evolve..
