CHALLENGE 5: ANOTHER CONVINCING CAMPAIGN
TEAM LAND'S SUBMISSION- A WHOLE NEW WORLD
OUR GOAL:
In the words of Tony Baxter, "Disneyland is charming. Disney
World is spectacular. Euro Disney is beautiful." And indeed it is. Disneyland Paris is known throughout the world as one of the most beautiful Disney resorts. Its perfect combination of beauty and charm not only inspire, but keep guests coming back. We have attempted to capture the resort's uniqueness, beauty, and always-changing attitude in our 'A Whole New World' marketing campaign.
We were inspired by the words of Tony Baxter when creating our campaign. We wanted not only to encourage guests to discover new worlds within the parks, but also to unify the resort with other Disney resorts through the use of similar symbols. The most amazing part of 'A Whole New World' is that it invites the people of the world to gather in this one place and celebrate their different cultures, beliefs, and languages. We want to show people... a whole new world.
THE BRAND:
Our logo (visible in the corners of the posters and at the end of the commercial) represents not only the global unifying aspect of our campaign, but the world within a Disney resort. The logo depicts the flags of the world's countries coming together to form the head of Mickey Mouse. The font has a modern and sleek look, much like modern Paris. This font is used throughout our campaign and showcases the resort's uniqueness and connection to the modern world.
The logo created a foundation for the rest of our brand; in our posters the global theme is repeated in the border patterns. These patterns are designs taken from the different cultures of the world. The central font and logo are also present, showing its connection to the campaign, while the unique motto on each promotes different attractions guests will find in the resort.
An overarching goal of the posters was also to show the world within the resort and encourage guests to discover it, and to showcase what is new coming to the parks. In this spirit, all four of the posters represent the additions that our team made to the resort in Challenges 1 and 2. These are the posters for the campaign, as well as French versions of them.
New Tintin area in Disneyland Park:
New Hollywood area in Walt Disney Studios:
New Dining in the Tintin area of Adventureland:
New Special Effects Institute ride in Walt Disney Studios:
For the commercial we wanted to create something that would inspire, unify, and promote the resort. To do this we selected the song 'J'magine'. J'magine translates to I Imagine. We felt as though this song not only captured the spirit of Disney, but also the spirit of the resort.
We also have an identical French version of the commercial:
THE YEAR:
The slogan 'A Whole New World' is also a statement on the plethora of new and exciting experiences for the guests of Disneyland Paris. With new attractions, entertainment and dining, this is a busy year for the resort. Furthermore, these additions will create 'new worlds' and experiences for our guests to enjoy.

Parade- Worlds of Magic
With the new 'A Whole New World' campaign, we created a parade that will highlight the two major new additions to the resort. At the same time, we wanted to add an experience that would cap off a guest's day and encourage them to stay longer. Presenting, Worlds of Magic!
Opening: A Whole New World
As the parade starts, yellow lights illuminate the brims of the Main Street buildings. This segment celebrates Main Street USA, and includes large marching bands and energetic dancers. All of these performers are dressed in light-up, glowing costumes that are in-sync with the wonderful music. The marching band is playing a high-speed, percussion and brass infused variant of A Whole New World. The float featured in this unit is themed to a beautiful garden with a small rock perch on top where Mickey Mouse stands. After a while, fog machines envelop the area and the lights dim.
Adventurous Spirit
Under the fog, a lava-orange light appears. Tribal music begins to play. Once the fog clears, the Main Street parade actors have been replaced with indigenous tribes from the jungles. They are preforming traditional dances and tricks with fire torches. The source of the orange light was a fire pit, and the lights on the Main Street buildings are now green and brown. A huge float moves in, themed as a forest with plenty of greenery, as well as a waterfall. The float features Tintin with an animatronic Snowy, Jack Sparrow and other pirates, and Indiana Jones. As the music changes, this float joins the first one in the hub.
New Frontiers
Based off of the Tin Symphony from the Sydney Olympics, this segment celebrates Frontierland. The lights change to a reddish-brown color as miner and cowboy-themed dancers in light-up costumes enter, performing complicated routines for the guests that resemble tradition western dances. Some of them will be on horseback. The float will include an old mill, old houses, and an "exploding TNT" pyrotechnic effect. Sheriff Donald will stand guard among the tumbleweeds, cacti, and rock work.
Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow
This segment is themed to Discoveryland. There are energetic performers dancing around the street in futuristic costumes. Lasers flash Discoveryland's gold, green, and blue colors to sync with celebratory, futuristic music from the land. As the fog machines run, a large float with a steampunk appearance emerges. On the float, there is a city with Autopia passing through. Astronaut Pluto waves a banner that reads "Discovery Will Never End!" This segment will not only showcase the beauty and uniqueness of the land, but also the bright future that lies ahead.
Lights! Camera! Action!
This segment is themed after the new Hollywood area at Walt Disney Studios. It begins with the popular jazz song 'Sing, Sing, Sing' and whisks guests away into the Golden Age of Hollywood. Bright spotlights surround Main Street, as many different "Hollywood actors" dance along, getting the audience excited for a few minutes.. Soon spotlights shine to the sky, the music changes to "Hooray for Hollywood", and the float which has a miniature, but still large, version of the Chinese Theater, slowly rolls through. A "red carpet" is rolled onto the street. Dancers, reporters, and ‘movie stars’ in fancy outfits will participate in a unique dance and Hollywood premier, and some will walk down the red carpet. Chip and Dale will serve as directors, sitting in director chairs at the front of the float with the theater behind them. Ushers wearing Tower of Terror-style uniforms will walk down the street with the float, and roll up the red carpet from behind.
Dream Lands
This dream-like segment will encapsulate the magic of Fantasyland. Fog once again rolls out, as the laser lights change colors in the pattern of a rainbow. The projectors send an image of children sleeping onto the fog, and they begin to dream. The projected image then slowly morphs into the Castle, depicting how this is their dream. The fog rolls away, and here begins an extravaganza of fantasy and magic with the dream coming alive! Performers dance with giant banners and puppets, creating the illusion of magic in the air. Space and stars are projected on the building fronts. The final parade float rolls in. This float has a smaller version of the castle and field of grass, as well as many joyful Disney characters including Snow White, Pinocchio, and Cinderella. Aladdin and Jasmine soar in their magic carpet behind the real castle (using a crane-like support that cannot be seen in the lighting).
Together We Are One
This musical finale is set to the song of the same name by Delta Goodrem. Throughout the show each float has moved to the park's hub, and they now come together to become the stage of a huge musical celebration. This segment is a piece that all cast members in the show perform together, unifying the park and providing an exciting introduction to the already-existing fireworks show, Disney Dreams.
Streetmosphere
New streetmosphere experiences will be added such as Indian dancers in the Tintin area, Citizens of Hollywood in WDS, and the Mayor and Dapper Dans on Main Street.
Business Park and Exhibition Center
The Bob Iger Business Park and Tony Baxter Exhibition Center will encourage people to live and work in the resort and turn the resort into a place of universal congregation. Both of these areas will be located near Disney Village.
Disney Village refurbishments
The exciting Disney Village is getting a well-deserved make-over! With refurbishments of current facades and interiors, Disney Village will look brand new. In addition, some new experiences will be added. From apartments, shops, restaurants, and a high rise hotel, Disney Village will become an inviting and exciting place to visit and live.
A Whole New World of Color
Part of the 'A Whole New World' campaign emphasizes bringing various cultures together from around the globe. As part of the campaign, the fountain and fireworks show "A Whole New World of Color" will be coming to Lac Disney near Disney Village. Instead of highlighting popular Disney movies, like its California counterpart, WNWoC showcases cultures from every corner of the Earth.
Transportation expansion
We will be expanding transport options to access the park. For France and Europe the park will receive Eurail, and International E-road connections allowing for people all over the continent to come and visit.
Maintenance
The Disneyland Paris parks are well known as some of the most beautiful parks around the world, and have some of the best attractions. However, one common complaint among many visitors is that the parks are not kept up as nice, such as a broken light fixture, dirty walls, and/or malfunctioning sets. With this new promotion, one big, striving goal is to have the parks look better and be more kept up in that aspect, to become on par with other resorts and make the guest experience better.
CONCLUSION
As you can see, a lot will be going on with the 'A Whole New World' campaign. From new attractions to new opportunities for business, in the end 'A Whole New World' will not only push the resort into the 21st century, but draw even more people in.
After she was shown a preview of our campaign and the resort additions,

This week we combined our ideas to create a project we are proud of. We improved areas that needed improvement, we added things that needed to be added, and fulfilled all of what was required for us this week-- and more.
But we also grew as a team. Despite small debates or conflicting opinions, we all worked to our full potential and meshed our talents together to form a fantastic proposal. We appreciate you reading our submission, and thank you for your consideration.
