Travel & Hospitality Animation Principles
Apply Disney's 12 principles to create aspirational, exciting experiences that inspire wanderlust and build booking confidence.
The 12 Principles Applied
1. Squash & Stretch

- Booking Confirmation: Dramatic pause before success
- Destination Reveal: Moment of suspense
3. Staging

- Booking Flow: Current step clearly focused
4. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose
