Oh, this was fun! I really enjoyed it. Upon check in, I was given a Guest of Honor styled name tag with my name on it....be sure that whatever name you give at the time of the reservation is the name that you want on the tag! The tag says Dining with an Imagineer WDW and has Mickey Mouse on it. After everyone arrived, we were given a quick tour of the HBD and were then lead to the Bamboo Room. We were introduced to our Imagineer, Senior Graphic Designer, Debra Wren. She was really great about discussing anything and everything that we brought up, including things like the incorporation of Disney characters into IaSW out in DL, Beastly Kingdom, Night Kingdom, and the like. We didn't always get the most detailed answers, but we got answers, some of which actually surprised me with the level of detail that we did get. If you are a Disney geek, it's so worth it. Even the Disney clueless that were more there for the great meal, seemed to have had a great time. She worked hard to include everyone. At the end we were given these beautiful glass plates with Sorcerer Mickey done in gold and they were each personalized and signed by Ms. Wren before she left. We also received personalized menus. Our meal was excellent. I would do this again in a heartbeat, if ever I go on another solo trip.
