Zombieland Proposal

Using Zombieland as an inspiration, our group has designed a trip in a Winnebago from Austin Texas to Disney World in Florida. Keeping with the spirit of Zombieland, each of us has chosen a stop where we will attempt to introduce outside and alien experiences to other members of the group in the hopes that some piece of that experience becomes part of the group as a whole.
Some of the stops along the way will include Denver Colorado where I will introduce everyone to the concept of survivalist/minimalist backpacking; even though we will be traveling in a Winnebago hopefully the experience that will stick with the group is that less is more. Another stop along our journey is Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta we will try to find the World of Coca-Cola (a stop inspired by Tallahassee's obsessive quest for a Twinkie) and Crissy will attempt to convince at least some of us that Diet Coke actually tastes good.
Our last stop will be Disney World where, even though we can't ram the gates with the Winnebago and shoot the zombified occupants, I'm sure we can play laser tag or at the very least ride the roller coasters.

  1. The Denver Colorado trip should include the rule "Travel Light". That is good that your group put in a trip that can be related to the movie very easily. I like what I see here.

  2. I know this is just a proposal, but be sure to be specific when explaining what you're going to do at Disney World. There's no laser tag, and there's very few "traditional" roller coasters. However, you could easily go on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin for your laser tag and Rock N' Rollercoaster (more traditional) or Expedition Everest (less traditional) for your rollercoaster.

  3. I really liked the idea of "minimal" backpacking. Certainly, it does allow the individuals in the group to get creative and really learn to appreciate what they have. I like how it can undoubtedly be related to the "survivalist" concept. Eventually, it will lead to a closer bond between the individuals because people tend to work together when in difficult situations!! I see that not every stop is in this proposal but do make sure there're more stops so as to create a more well-rounded trip! Nice job, everyone.

  4. I like the fact that your group is taking the appraoch of outside/ alien encounters to promote bonding between the group members. The only suggestion that I have is to incorperate some things from each of your personal lives into your stops/activities on the road. I look forward to seeing your final presentation!
