Disney Cast Member No-Jokie

They weren't kidding about the state of the parks during the week between Christmas and New Years. As a Florida resident and Disney Cast Member, we were always blocked-out for park entrance during the holidays unless we went alone or in groups of Cast Members. Also it was always extremely quiet at DRC during the Christmas holiday. Dwain and I always took our Holiday passes to see the Osborne Family Lights at Disney/MGM as our tradition. We didn't get to do that this year because I wasn't employed when the Holiday passes went-out. So, as I blogged earlier, we did the resorts on the Monorail as our substitute.

Anyway, back to my original topic, other than the one night out we usually did, we stayed away from the parks during the holidays. Not so this year. I only had to work one day last week, Sunday afternoon and evening. Even EPCOT was incredibly crowded and our store was out-of-control. I kid you not. I've never seen that many people in one store.

They rotate us through the checkouts with tasks scheduled regularly to get you off the registers. But even then, it's quite overwhelming. I have certainly gotten my baptism-by-fire by starting back during this time of year. What was I thinking??? (Inserting large grin)
