Steven "Steve" Davison is currently Vice President, Parades and Spectaculars for Walt Disney Creative Entertainment. He is responsible for the overall global creation of parades and spectaculars at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts worldwide. He is perhaps best known as being the creator of World of Color and Disney Dreams!.

Career at Disney

Davison began his career with Disney in 1981 as a Model maker for the Disneyland Entertainment Art Department under the supervision of former art department head, Clare Graham. After several of years of serving as a Model maker, Art Director, and Senior Art Director for the department, he was promoted to Show Director in 1997, where he began to work on entertainment creative development. In the same year, he spawned his first big creation: "It's a Small World Holiday," a classic attraction conversion that has grown into fan favorite and had brought Davison into the spotlight.

In 1999, Davison was approached to create a new fireworks show for the 45th Anniversary of Disneyland. Though having no prior experience with pyrotechnics, Davison was still able to revolutionize Disney fireworks history by creating Believe... There's Magic in the Stars, the second fireworks show made for the park since Fantasy in the Sky debuted in 1958. The show and his approach to bringing "stories into the sky" proved to be a massive hit, instantly launching his pyrotechnics career. Davison's third creation was Haunted Mansion Holiday, another classic attraction conversion. His idea of "when holidays collide" took much controversy from both management and classic Haunted Mansion fans, causing the project several years to get approved. But like It's a Small World Holiday, it quickly became popular among guests after opening its doors in 2001.

In 2003, Anne Hamburger, former Executive Vice President of Walt Disney Creative Entertainment, asked Davison to join Imagineering as Creative Director for parades and shows worldwide, eventually being promoted to his current title of Vice President Parades and Spectaculars in 2006.
