Tony Baxter is currently Senior Vice President, Creative Development, Walt Disney Imagineering, and has overall creative direction for the Disneyland Resort.

Growing up in Southern California, he started his career at Disneyland at age 16. He scooped ice cream on Main Street, U.S.A.. After several years of odd jobs at the park, he garnered attention through a portfolio of attraction concepts and moved to WED Enterprises (now known as Walt Disney Imagineering), where he has remained since then.

His work includes Disney attractions such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which debuted at Disneyland in 1979, and the Euro Disneyland theme park which opened in France in 1992, now known as Disneyland Resort Paris. Several projects that Tony personally supervised, but never got off the drawing boards,were a dark ride based on The Little Mermaid, a re-design for Disneyland's Tomorrowland called Tomorrowland 2055, and a new theme land for Disneyland called Discovery Bay (which was part of the inspiration for Discoveryland in Disneyland Paris, that parks version of tomorrowland).

Projects that Baxter was responsible for include:
