Do you chose what Imagineer or do they just send one? For instance, my daughter is into animation/drawing so she'd flip out with excitement to speak with one of them. The Audio one is awesome, but I was curious if they pick for you.
We are doing a trip for my son as well!! I am booking a meal at California Grill and am going to try to time it during Wishes. It is a great experience. You can even have a special cake made and they will serve it after the meal though the desserts there are good on their own.My daughter will be graduating in June and she's asked for a family celebration in Disney rather than a huge grad party! Family from Arizona are planning to come out to help us celebrate. We've been to Disney a few times but haven't ever done anything really special (other than Tea at the Grand Floridian). What could I book that would be really super special for her and the family to do. It can be somewhere special to eat, or I know they used to have a dessert party (not sure if they still do). I know this is the ONLY place to post and ask since you all have spectacular ideas. We are looking to go after her birthday in early July but haven't ruled out August. It will definitely be summertime. TIA.
As far as I remember, it was "recommended" for 14 and up, but there wasn't a prohibition on younger kids. I was able to book ADR's for it when DD was 11 and 13, and I've seen reports on the boards of people taking kids under age 10 in the past. The website now won't let anyone under 14 be added, which is different than the last time I booked it.Thanks for clarifying for the OP. I was surprised to see the age limits on All Ears because it had always been 14 for the last ten years.
My son graduated this year, and our June trip was his big celebration.
- On our arrival night we had dinner at Narcoosee's and had a custom cake delivered to the table.
- After dinner we met friends at Top of the World Lounge (we are DVC members) and presented him with the graduation ears with his name on them. A friend got them for us ahead of time, because they tend to sell out. She also got him the 2014 grad pin (the collector pin from the gift shop, not the free Celebration button), and a 2014 grad photo frame.
- I ordered a "sash" for him that said "GRADUATE" and I made him wear it in the parks.
- We had a private dessert party at Epcot, booked though the Events dept. at Boardwalk.
- We had Lunch With an Imagineer at Brown Derby.
- We did the "backstage Safari" tour at AK.
- I had a custom gift basket and balloons delivered to the room through Disney Floral.
- I bought "grad" theme stuff at Party City - table confetti, "2014" toothpick flags, etc. and pulled those out at different meals.
Have fun planning!!
The fireworks cruises are fun - we have done them several times.
The Backstage Safari is in the park, so you don't have to be at AKL to participate.
Excellent! Thank you!!
