Here's my first instinct:

3.0 oz POG juice
1.0 tsp sugar (raw sugar)
2.0 oz Bacardi 8 yr Rum
1.0 oz Appleton Estate Reserve
1.0 lemon juice
0.5 oz falernum
0.5 oz cinnamon
0.5 oz 151 rum (floated on top)

My first note is that you have too much rum. Your total of alcohol is 3.5 oz for a 1 person drink which is not only heavy in general, but especially heavy for Disney cocktails. As a standard practice, most cocktails tend to max out around 2-2.5 oz. So, being that this IS a zombie which IS alcohol-forward, I'd do 1 oz Bacardi 8 and 1 oz Appleton, then the .5 oz Gosling's and don't float it - I've never seen it floated nor is it intended to be.

I'd also point out that you need lime juice and that your lemon juice is heavy at 1 oz. The cinnamon and falernum look okay but maybe go .25 oz for each. Another big note is that I think they use their Gorilla Grog mix instead of just POG juice, which is POG + falernum, lemon, and pineapple. I don't have an amounts for you but I think that is mostly POG and pineapple with lesser amounts of lemon and falernum (remember that POG is already pretty sweet). I'd ditch the simple syrup and maybe add some drops of pernod as well.
