The Disney Advanced Studies in Hospitality Management course gave me a better understanding in how it can be to become a first-level hospitality leader. This course exposed me to contemporary operational issues, situations, and equipping them with the ability to analyze problems and develop, propose and implement strategic solutions. We had a group project which allowed us to develop comprehensive business plans for restaurants, hotels, theme parks, and water parks. The few topics we discussed to assist us with our business plans were the executive plans, SWOT, the guest, marketing, event planning, trends and crisis management. This course definitely gave me the ability to build my skills and an understanding of the industry as a whole.
