Former Imagineer Bob Baranick said of the event:

I had the previledge of attending yesterday's event at Walt's barn. Michael Broggie was a terrific host. He had some wonderful tales to tell and detailed the complete story of Walt and his trains. He made mention of several studio folk who helped Walt acheive his personal vision. There were about twenty-five people including many of my friends from WDI. It felt like the right place to be on Walt Disney's birthday. The celebration was very sincere and intimate. We all felt very close to Walt on his day. Thanks to Michael and the Carolwodd Pacific Society for all their efforts.
