Abstract:
If you ask any Walt Disney Imagineer what they do, they will tell you that their primary role is a storyteller. They are also the creative machine behind all things Disney—the starting point for the ideas behind the magic. Disney Imagineering holds a prestigious design competition each year, called Disney Imaginations. When my three teammates and I poured ourselves into a submission for the 2014 Disney Imaginations competition, we were, needless to say, disheartened when we failed to finish any better than the “participant” level. As a first try, this competition was an adventure for all four of us. At the very least, it will remain a valuable advantage in experience for next year’s competition. In preparation for the 2015 Disney Imaginations Competition, I have analyzed our shortcomings and, as an exercise, have built upon our previous design.
