Hello friends. The Catholics out there know that Dec. 8 is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (aka "All of the responsibility and none of the fun"). The Catholic schools take the day off, which means that a lot of Catholic kids come to Santaland on a weekday, and it's busier than usual. Also, there were many school groups.
There was a line to get in at 8:35am. Santaland opens at 9am. Shortcake went right to work on the Front line, wearing the headset, and stayed there for awhile. She manned the line while it was slow, and when it got long (around 10am). It became so long, we went to Crossroads, and it was all the way back Parade Hallway (think Sunday proportions). It wasn't a long line, time-wise, but it was long, distance-wise, simply because school groups take up more space, but not more time than a regular visit.
After a short break, Shortcake was sent to Crossroads, which turned into Parade hallway, which turned into Main exit, where she stayed until she was sent to Usher. By this point in time, Shortcake had crashed again, despite a snack on her previous break. Lunch was invigorating. Turns out food will give you energy, along with conversations about Disney villains, terrible teen movies, Zac Efron's bangs, and a Mulan sing-a-long starring Pip and Figgy.
Shrotcake went back to Ushering, much revived, and met a New York sports fan. He liked the Giants and the Rangers, but he was most emphatic about the Yankees. At which point in time Shortcake stopped being friends with him. Shortcake is a Cubs fan, and it is just not fair that the Yankees have 28 World Series Championships, and the Cubs have not won in 102 years. Really, 28 is just showing off.
After a mere 45 minutes of Ushering, Shortcake was sent on another 10 minute break. At which point in time she was sent to Gatekeeper, which she rocked for only 30 minutes, and was then sent to the Front line. It felt like the managers didn't want Shortcake to work the last two hours of her shift since they kept moving her around.
