THE WRITTEN PROPOSAL
Detailed Instructions
Organize your proposal into the following four sections and address the specific questions provided below.
Part I: Story & Character
Story analysis of the film. What is the story about (do not give a plot summary): What are the major themes? Is there a moral? What is the central dramatic question? How does the story lend itself to theme park adaptation? What specific approach to adaptation will you take? (Retelling the Story, Recreating a moment, Expanding the Story, Reapplying the Characters, or Going Behind the Scenes?) Keep this section as concise as possible.
Character discussion: Who is your lead character? The lead character(s) of your attraction might NOT be the lead character of the film. What do they “want” in the film: their goals, their desires – how are those different for your attraction? What are the important/iconic elements of the character? Keep this section as concise as possible.
Part I Narrative length:
Single Riders: 125-175 words (½ – ¾ page)
[Please note: page count does not include images.]
Part II: The Pre-show
Design the queue area: Identify the location or land of the attraction (i.e Pirates is in New Orleans Square/Dumbo in Fantasyland). How are you going to build anticipation for the experience? How will you reinforce the attraction and make the queue part of the experience. What is the mood you want to create? Will it be a switchback? Will there be interactive portions? Use video? Single Riders: Provide at least 2 images of supporting sketches or concepts along with your narrative.
Design the costumes: Design costumes for the cast members who get you on (or in) and off (or out) of your attractions. How are their costumes setting the mood and reinforcing the story? Is it time specific? What colors will you use? Will it change with the seasons? Single Riders: Provide at least 2 images of costume sketches/designs along with your narrative.
Part II narrative length:
Single Riders: 125 – 175 words (½ – ¾ page)
[Please note: page count does not include images.]
Part III: The Show (The heart of the attraction)
Specific Questions: Address the following questions in narrative form and support with 3-6 images (Single Riders) or 6-12 images
What is the story of your attraction? This is not necessarily the story of the film. Is the story experiential, implicit, or explicit? How will you maintain the integrity of character?
How are you going to tell the story? Is it a “dark ride,” a roller coaster or an interactive performance? How will you move the guests thru the attraction? Will you use an omnimover? If so, what will it look like?
Identify how you will control the gaze of the audience. What will guest see?
How will you incorporate the animation from the film?
What is the sound design? What music will you use? Be specific.
Any special effects? Be specific. Use examples from other Disney Resorts Attractions to illustrate your point (i.e the “Pepper’s Ghost” technique used in The Haunted Mansion or audio-animatronics as used in Small World or Pirates of the Caribbean)
How long is the ride? If necessary – provide a “map” or a “layout” of your attraction.
Part III narrative length:
Single Riders: 250 – 450 words (1- 1 ⅘ pages)
[Please note: page count does not include images.]
Part IV: The Post Show

The total length of the submitted proposal will vary based on formatting of images in each section. Please mark each section of your proposal clearly and include a word count of the narrative per section.
The Use of Images: Supporting visuals can be imbedded into the body of the narrative or organized into appendices at the end of the proposal. If using web images, please provide a list of URLs. Discuss preferred image format with your TA.
