Anyone done Lunch with an Imagineer lately?

[Jaci]

Did you have kids in your group? Ages?

Was it fun and informative?

Was the food good?

In other words, tell me all about it.

TIA

I need to book this for February 2009, but the ADR system cannot accept the request at this time. You can book it up to 60 days in advance and they only offer it 3 (week)days a week.

also a dinner with Imagineer (or at there has been) at Artist Point. It's less frequent than the lunch a bit privier. It is a possible option if you have trouble getting into the Brown Derby lunch.

Also, rumor has it that Disney has been pushing the minimum age of 14 for the meal. Another site used to show a children's menu but a few people on this board noted the CMs raising the minimum age.

I'll call about the ages before it's time for me to make the ADR. That way we can decide if and who will be going.

We just booked Lunch with an imagineer for our Thanksgiving trip, we aer 3 adults going. I am very excited about it. I would love to hear about other peoples experience. I did a quick search but only found old threads, nothing recent.

Here's a link to a great PTR for this Halloween. http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1932687

She has Lunch with an Imagineer booked, so you may want to read about it when she gets back.

we just did lunch with an imagineer when we were there.
my daughter is 14. we were with 4 other people for lunch. my only problem with this was our entire lunch was dominanted by one woman who would not allow anyone else to ask questions - she acted as if this was a private meeting with her - if you were asking a question she would rudely interupt you and ask her question - our imagineer was doing his best to try and include the rest of us but she was relentless. our imagineer was involved in the new toy story mania ride and he did have alot of cool info. my only problem was the cost of the meal and the fact that me and my daughter hardly ate a thing - we are simple folk and the food that was served looked like it should have been in a magazine -- the waiter had told us they removed all the salt from the table because the chef didnt feel people would need it so i was afraid to ask for steak sauce for my steak. if you are an adventurous eater than this would be good, but for me i dont think it was worth the 150.00 i spent.

we also received a glass plate signed by the imagineer and a name tag.
