Learn How Science Becomes Storytelling at Disney Parks Blog Galactic Meet-Up at Disney California Adventure Park

Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! has been taking Disney California Adventure park guests on an out-of-this-world adventure since its opening earlier this summer. If you've ever wondered what inspires the storytellers behind experiences like this, join us at the Disney Parks Blog Galactic Meet-Up!

The evening of Tuesday, Sept. 19, NASA representatives will join Imagineers along with the creative minds behind some of your favorite Super Hero stories for a unique panel discussion exploring how the science of space exploration influences the storytelling that we bring to life in innovative ways at Disney Parks. Following this exciting discussion, event guests will have the opportunity to experience the new Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark.
