Small Topics

• The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is arguably the most successful Park IP based franchise. If you were in charge of creating a second park-IP based franchise that must be as successful as Pirates, which would you pick and how would you approach it?
• Disney+ seems to be moving away from live-action Star Wars and Marvel TV shows. Why do you think people didn’t gravitate to the Marvel Television offerings?
• If you were in charge of creating a chain of Disney Owned and Operated Movie Theaters, what would you do to set your chain apart from the other chains?

Discussion Topic

• D23 - The Ultimate Fan Event, Part II: Disney Entertainment Showcase

Small Topics

• You’re in charge of planning the next D23 Parks Panel but the board has asked to include a large half-time-show-like spectacle during the middle of it. Who are you hiring to host and what will be your intermission performance?
• I didn’t watch the parks panel but I’m pretty sure they didn’t announce a new resort in Michigan. If you were going to build a Disney resort in Michigan, what would your signature land be based on?
• Without giving anything away, tell the other person which announcement you were most excited about in such a way that I - with no context - will not be significantly spoiled.
