Disney Experiences Wins Two People's Voice Webby Awards for Kylie Kelce Podcast and Imagineering Docuseries

Disney Experiences took home two People's Voice Webby Awards at the 30th Annual Webby Awards for the 'My Disney Spectacular' episode of Kylie Kelce's 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast and the 'We Call It Imagineering' documentary short on Disney Imagineering R&D. The wins will be honored at a May 11 ceremony in New York City, where Disney Experiences will deliver one of the Webbys' famous 5-Word Speeches.

Disney Experiences is heading to New York with two trophies in hand. The 30th Annual Webby Awards announced its winners this week, and Disney Experiences picked up two People's Voice Webby Awards — one for a Kylie Kelce podcast episode filmed at Walt Disney World, and another for a behind-the-scenes look inside Walt Disney Imagineering's Research & Development lab.

Presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS) and dubbed the “Internet's highest honor” by The New York Times, the Webbys saw more than 13,000 entries from over 70 countries this year. Disney Experiences topped its categories in the People's Voice track — the fan-voted side of the awards — beating out a global field of digital storytellers.

Win #1: “My Disney Spectacular” with Kylie Kelce

The first award honored the “My Disney Spectacular” episode of “Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce,” filmed in partnership with Walt Disney World. The episode took the full Kelce family across the Most Magical Place on Earth for a conversation that swung between podcast host and theme-park guest.

In the episode, Kylie works her way through picking a favorite Disney character and shares her “Not-So-Pro Tips” for navigating the parks with Tiny Humans in tow. Mother-in-law Donna Kelce drops in with motherly advice and a look back at how she and Kylie first met, and the installment wraps with a surprise appearance from Kylie's daughters — a family moment tailor-made for Disney fans.

The win lands in the category of Best Partnership/Collaboration Podcast, a notable nod for Disney's brand content team as podcasting continues to dominate how celebrity-driven audiences consume travel and lifestyle stories.

Win #2: “We Call It Imagineering: Inside Disney Imagineering R&D”

The second award celebrates “We Call It Imagineering: Inside Disney Imagineering R&D,” a documentary short that takes viewers inside the creative engine behind Disney's parks — including a stop in Zurich, Switzerland, where Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development is based. The win came in the Best Technology Video/Film category.

The feature spotlights the self-walking Olaf figure that debuts in World of Frozen — a free-roaming audio-animatronic built to move through guest spaces rather than stay fixed to a ride vehicle. Along the way, the film explores other R&D moonshots, including the BDX Droids seen in the Star Wars parks and long-running engineering inside attractions like Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.

For Disney Parks fans, it's a rare public peek at the innovation pipeline that eventually turns up as rides, shows, and characters on property. For the Imagineering team, it's validation that storytelling about the work resonates with viewers in the same way the work itself does.

What Happens at the Ceremony

Both wins will be celebrated at the 30th Annual Webby Awards ceremony in New York City on May 11, 2026, where Disney Experiences will deliver one of the Webbys' famous 5-Word Speeches. The constraint is the gimmick — past entries include Steve Wilhite's “It's Pronounced 'Jif' not 'Gif,'” NASA's “Houston We Have A Webby,” and SZA's “The Internet Scares Me. Thanks.”

Comedian and creator Josh Johnson hosts the night. Fans can follow highlights — including those five-word moments — on the Webby Awards' social channels on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube.

That quote comes from Nick Borenstein, General Manager of The Webby Awards, who framed the double win as recognition of both the podcast and the Imagineering short's reach with online audiences.

What This Means for Disney Fans

Two Webby wins may sound like inside-baseball, but both pieces are exactly the kind of content Disney fans have been asking for: an authentic celebrity trip report that doesn't feel like a commercial, and a rare behind-the-curtain look at how Imagineering actually designs the next generation of park experiences. If you haven't watched either yet, the podcast episode and the Imagineering documentary are worth a full sit-down — and May 11's 5-Word Speech is going to be must-watch TV for anyone who follows the Disney parks.
