Disney Imagineering is giving Disneyland guests the chance to help shape its next big ideas

Disney Imagineering is giving Disneyland visitors a chance to help shape upcoming park experiences through the Imagineering Labs app. This new app allows guests to test experimental experiences, giving Imagineers valuable feedback to refine future park attractions. Selected Disneyland Magic Key holders will be the first to try out these experimental features, with broader access coming in the near future.

One of the first tests is an augmented reality (AR) Star Wars adventure called "Secrets of the Spire" at Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. In this experience, guests use their iPhones to act as augmented reality space binoculars, scanning the environment for transmissions from Leia Organa. By interacting with the AR environment, guests can help Leia support the Rebel Alliance.

The app is currently in an early development phase, offering guests a glimpse at the creative process behind Disney’s upcoming attractions while allowing Imagineers to gather valuable feedback.
