Yes, and I have to admit that when I heard that finally coming to be I wondered if there might be more to it.
Even if he’s “only” teaching a class, first I’m happy to have his influence back in the Imagineering world. But also, y’all have heard of “creep” right? Where you agree to a small thing (like teaching a class, perhaps) and then they pull you in to something slightly bigger and before you know it you’ve pulled an Iger and are back full time with the company

I thought of you as soon as I read this and knew you’d be thrilled.

Yes. There has really been a lack of strong Imagineering experience lately with so many Imagineers leaving/retiring. To have Rohde SIMPLY in the role of teaching the new generation of Imagineers how to THINK like an Imagineer of old is HUGE.

This is my hope. And why it’s such awesome news even if “just” a class

Just came across this 
can’t help but to wonder, or even assume that this timingh is related to the recent changes in WDI leadership?
From what I recall, Rohde departed quite soon after Barbara Bouza took charge of Imagineering (and after Chapek took charge of Disney). Now that Both of them are gone, Rohde makes a surprise return (even if just to teach), which probably isn’t a coincidence…
