Saturday 30th December 2006: Christmas Tree Lighting Crowd Control
Today I started work at 1200 and finished on time at 1715 as a seater in the restaurant because then I had to walk over to the Xmas tree so that I could do crowd control for when the tree lights are switched on. What I had to do was tell people that they couldn’t come into or leave the roped off area until the show had finished for the safety of the characters.
So the show started by Mickey, Minnie, his friends and a representative from each country arrive on an old fashioned London Double Decker Bus. Then they did this big song and dance about different Christmas traditions and which they should follow and in the end they all decide on making their own traditions. The show ended with the Christmas tree lights being switched on and the characters leaving again on the bus. It was very nice to watch the show and I got paid to stand right at the front and see the show and tell people what to do (hehehe, lots of power for me!!!).
