I am posting here because I am on the fence on the ABD Disney tour.
My 13 yo son loves designing things and wants to be an engineer when he grows up. He's already figuring out which classes he needs to take now to get himself prepared for high school and then college. He's an old soul. He is a mostly straight A student in the Gifted and Talented program. We don't push him at all, this is all him, btw.
We have been going to Disney regularly since he was a baby. He loves all things Disney and all things related to automobiles. He doesn't know which direction he'd like to pursue once he gets to college (and pre-reqs in high school).
I'd like for him to visit the Imagineering Campus at Disney and get to talk to actual people and get a feel for what the job truly entails.
If you've been on an ABD tour, do you feel that there is enough depth for him? If not, do you know of a way to give him the ability to visit and/or talk with an imagineering cast member? Is it possible to do only that section of the ABD tour? I have emailed a Vacationeer through ABD but they have not responded yet.
We are visiting Chevrolet, Bell and Lockheed Martin too.
Thanks for any insight! We are also welcome to any advice in the engineering field.
