Shortcake started Friday morning on crowd control, with a twist. The lights were out in the maze. People could therefore not go through the maze, which meant the line was humongous. People entered through the doors at the Freezer (the professional photo station), and then continued on to see Santa. The line then went straight in front of the train, curved twice in front of the train, went down stroller alley and into Parade hallway. After an hour, it was that long. Finally, around mid-day, the maze was re-opened, and the line went back down to normal levels. There were maybe 3 elves working the front line during all that time, as the rest of the elves were busy helping Santa in the Village.
In the afternoon, a man came up to Shortcake (and her manager), asking for help. His daughter's boyfriend was going to propose in front of Santa, and he had brought champagne and glasses for the occasion. The manager helped him out, and everything went perfectly. The woman's first response on seeing the ring was "Are you kidding me?" Then she said yes.
Good things happen in Santaland.
Shortcake finished the day by ushering for a few hours, which is always pleasant. Shortcake thinks the managers let people usher as an award, because it's a coveted position. It's easy, high-energy, and you get to talk to kids.
