I have to say, after being on this trip twice, I think some of those kids are way too young. It does depend on the child, but on one trip we had two ten year olds. One lapped it all up. The other, along with his mom, spent A LOT of time at the pool. She missed so much of the trip she went again. We were roomies on the second trip and her son stayed home. He has referred to it as "A's" Boring Disney trip. Also, the trip does pull back the curtain on some of the magic. I don't know if the guides would take the kids on a separate section for the younger ones. Just something to consider. If your son is really into the how and wants to be an Imagineer, he might love it.
I agree with the points above. I think 6 is just way too young and I think the 8 and 10 year olds it will depend on their interest in the topics. I replied on another thread about the makeup of our trip two weeks ago and why I thought it was good. Kids were 11.5 (mine), 12,13(mine), 13,13, 13,16. It was a really good range of ages. And, all of them were Disney freaks who were interested in and had knowledge of how things work at Disney. All 6 of the kids on our trip loved it and I did not ever hear one complaint of being bored. I think even at the older ages this trip needs a pre-disposition to Disney/Imagineering and not just a love of rides and theme parks. I am still working on my trip report, but please follow along for more info.
