“Professional development programs that we offer to groups meeting at the Walt Disney World Resort have proven extremely popular,” said George Aguel, senior vice president for Walt Disney Parks and Resort. “Community leaders around the country started asking us to bring similar programs to their cities, and ‘The Disney Keys’ program does just that. Participants will discover Disney success stories and learn about management philosophies and behind-the-scenes operations that have made the Walt Disney World Resort a benchmark for businesses around the world.”

According to Aguel, Disney Institute programs are unique in the world of business. “What makes the Disney learning experience so different and meaningful,” says Aguel, “is that we don’t simply teach theory. We showcase philosophies and strategies that have made the Walt Disney World Resort a success – ideas that are easily adaptable to other organizations. We do this by taking people inside the Disney operation, showcasing on-stage and behind-the-scenes locations so attendees see firsthand how it all happens.”
