Want to be a Walt Disney Imagineer? Imagineering in a Box Creating Themed Worlds

Imagineering in a Box is designed to pull back the curtain to show you how artists, designers and engineers work together to create theme parks. Go behind the scenes with Disney Imagineers and complete project-based exercises to design a theme park of your very own.

Lesson 1: Build your own world
This lesson addresses the question: where do you want to go? It introduces the idea of experiential storytelling and the difference between an amusement park and a theme park. We’ll explore how storytelling and theme impact every decision made in the design of a land and how they engage all senses.

You'll walk out of this lesson with a theme and high concept for a land of your own design along with a mood board and map that conveys the land.

Material requirements: All activities can be done with physical materials found at home.
