Walt Disney Imagineering

In his role as Creative Executive for Walt Disney Imagineering, Michael Jung is responsible for leading creative development for entertainment experiences for Disney's Parks, Resorts and Cruise Lines around the world.

Recently Michael collaborated with Cirque du Soleil on the new show Drawn to Life — this first-ever collaboration between Cirque du Soleil, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering takes audiences on a journey into a world where animation comes alive through the mesmerizing virtuosity of Cirque du Soleil's acrobatic mastery.

Michael was instrumental in the development of all shows for the opening of Shanghai Disneyland, bringing to life amazing new experiences that are both authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese. Michael spearheaded the development of all the entertainment programs for Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, two of the ships comprising the Disney Cruise Line Fleet.

Notable projects include Hong Kong Disneyland's nighttime spectacular Momentous; Shanghai Disneyland's Illuminate; Happily Ever After at the Magic Kingdom; Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular; and Disney Movie Magic at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
