My sons turned
21 this summer. I wanted to get him a very special gift- what I wanted was a
Disney memory. He is finishing his education in TV and film production at NYU.
Ever since its inception I had been trying to book an Advanced Dining Reservation
(ADR) to Dine with an Imagineer for him. Trip after trip I tried calling
and booking online but my efforts were fruitless.
I was on a mission… I had never eaten at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Brown Derby. This warm wood-paneled restaurant celebrates the
Golden Age of Hollywood and it’s home to the original Brown Derby Cobb salad, and
famous grapefruit cake.
When the 180-day mark hit I woke up at 4 AM. Primed and ready, I sat with my laptop and my cell phone. The Cast member on the phone was very helpful. I told her our dates and we were in luck. For his birthday gift we would Dine With an Imagineer!
