Lunch with an Imagineer review....

 

[Hmbldr]

My DS and I Dined with and Imagineer on April 23. There are actually 2 programs for this. Lunch with an Imagineer, which takes place at The Brown Derby at DHS. I think the base cost for this is around $65. Dinner with an Imagineer takes place at Artist Pont at Wilderness Lodge and runs around $100.

We dined with Cathy Carver who is principal interior designer with WDImagineering. She was wonderful! There were 2 other couples at our table so the 6 of us had had Cathy to ourselves through dinner. She introduced herself and began by asking each of us a bit about ourselves and why we had selected this event. She went on to discuss herself, how she came to Disney (30 years ago) what recent projects she has worked on and what she is currently working on. We were able to ask any questions we wanted, to whatever detail we desired. She was very accomodating. She had recently been the project lead for the Castle Dream Suite and the new Emporium annex on Main Street. Currently she is working on public spaces, restaurant and retail, for the new AKL Villlas. The Castle Suite is amazing and you could tell she was most proud, not only of her work, but just how committed Disney was to make this a truly magical place and experience. Our evening lasted a little over 2 1/2 hours. Dinner was excellent. We received a personlized menu, with 2 choices each of appetizer, entree and dessert and a personlized name card. Cathy talked so much with us, she had to take her dinner home in a 'doggy bag'. At the end of our evening, each pair was given a personlized commemorative plate.... black with gold etched Mickey Sorcerer, only available for 'Dinner with an Imagineer', signed by Cathy. I understand that the Lunch gives a smaller black glass plate, similar. The tab for the two of us, with tax and tip was $271. A great evening and I would and will do it again.

You never know who you will get. Part of the fun and mystery. Awesome!
