How can I become a Disney Imagineer?

• When I become older I want to work in the film business (Director, Producer) but I know I can't expect it to happen over night and the odds are slim, but I won't stop until I die. I have already worked in TV doing my local news (I was 13 and worked in editing and shooting for free). I know if I want to make it the film business I need to take baby steps. I have also always had an interest in designing rides based on movies. Ever since I was 12, after I would watch a movie I would make a miniature ride model and would draw it in depth on paper. Now I am 16 and want to know how I can become a Disney Imagineer in Orlando and how old I must be? I don't care for pay, I would work for free if they housed me and fed me when I would travel. P.S. If I make it in the film business, I will try to become an executive on Disney Channel and get rid of the crap they show now and start showing show that don't dumb down kids. (the only good show they have is Phineas and Ferb, It tells kids that they can do anything they want if they try and tells them to do something creative instead of watching TV 24/7) Thank You! .
