Dining with an Imagineer

[Lancer]

I will be doing the "Dine with an Imagineer" in Feb and thought I would think of some questions in advance. Ones that I have always been wanting to ask like" I always wonder how or why......? The problem is, I do not know who that Imagineer will be on that day. Central reservations could not give me an answer.

Can anyone, who has done the dinner, relate to who they had. I dont need specific names but, were they a show producer for a specific show, an engineer for a specific ride, an animaitor on a certain short ect.? By your responses, I'm hoping there is a specific rotating group of Imagineers doing this.

Any help would be appreciated!
thanks,
Lancer

We've done it twice. Once with a story writer and once with a project manager. There are only four imagineers at WDW. I'm sure they are scheduled based on their personal schedule. Good luck and no matter who it is you'll have a great time.

ISTIMPRES,
What a coincidence, I am also booked for Feb 6th at 11:30. I think I was the first person to call reservations 30 days out to make sure I got in on that day, otherwise my whole weeks plan would have come crumbling down. And another coincidence, I am originally from jersey. Born and raised in Edison, not too far from Parsippany.

GrimGhost,
First off, they do offer a 5:30 dinner for $99.99 plus tax (includes tip) however it is not offered during Jan or Feb. The only one you can book is the lunch time which is $60.99. For ages 3-9 the rate is $34.99 for either lunch or dinner. Also during the busier months, they offer more options on days and times.

So I'll find get to actually meet another DISer (and an NJ escapee). Can't wait for the lunch! See you there
