What do the Cinderella’s Castle, themed resorts, food and beverage kiosks, outdoor dining areas, playgrounds, animal enclosures, and Epcot Festivals have in common? They are all things that Guests enjoy at Walt Disney World’s Parks and Resorts … and they all rely on the design of a Landscape Architect.
As a Landscape Architect with Facility Asset Management (FAM), you would be a key part of an interdisciplinary team of exceptional professionals that make our Parks and Resorts show ready, safe, and brimming with Disney “magic.”
Being a Landscape Architect at Disney is different, not only because of the truly exceptional variety of our sites and landscapes, but also since our team are trusted thought-partners.

This role reports to the Manager of the Project Design Support Team.
