Imagineer Daniel Joseph Receives Florida Inventors Hall of Fame Induction Plaque

Imagineer Daniel Joseph has received a plaque inducting him into the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame, in celebration of his work creating various illusions for Disney Parks projects.

What’s Happening:

  • In May 2023, Imagineer Daniel Joseph was among the list of inductees to the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame class of 2023.
  • Now, the Imagineer has received his official plaque showcasing his induction.
  • From a young age, Daniel has been curious about how things work and loved to repurpose things into something new.
  • Now as a Principal Illusion Integrator, Daniel pushes the boundaries of technology to create mesmerizing effects that leave guests in awe.
  • A life-long inventor, Daniel started making special effects haunted houses in his basement as a young boy, charging 25 cents to his neighborhood friends and visitors—which he then donated to the local humane society. He has often said, “creating something that makes a person say, ‘how did they do that?’ is my daily goal.”
  • He was one of the key team members who brought to life the Hatbox Ghost for The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary.
  • His pioneering innovations have also been incorporated into Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, Test Track, and both Trader Sam’s Tiki Bars, to name a few.

What They’re Saying:

  • Daniel Joseph: “All Imagineers are inventors and creators. Inventing is a profound power and also a labor of love. To be included among nuclear physicists, biomedical engineers, and innovators, which I’ve admired for years, is an honor. This recognition encourages me to keep exploring.”
