Workshop - Designing a new product for Disneyland® Paris

The Workshop gives students the opportunity to put some of what they have experienced in the Seminar and during their time in the Resort into practice. Divided into teams of 8-10 and guided by our experienced facilitators, their task is to design a new product for Disneyland® Paris. It could be a packaging item, signage or brochure, graphics for a new AV show, a roller coaster, parade float, food item, menu or restaurant, or a show or parade costume.


At the end of the workshop, the teams will give a 3-minute presentation of their design to the facilitators, teachers and the rest of the audience. They will need to be prepared to answer questions and receive feedback.
