I heard from a friend (who reads the internet a lot and goes to websites like this) that Disney started firing imagineers left and right because there are a lot of them. He told me that basically all an imagineer does is come up with a project or idea, but a separate group of people makes artist sketches and ultimately refines the idea into an actual ride.
Now that seems a little too skethy and i was skeptical, but when you think about it, imagineers do rely on true artists to help make their ideas actuality. So i dunno just how much an imagineer does on a project, but ya that's what i heard.
