Shortcake and Cider spent this week prepping Santaland since Thanksgiving is a mere week away. So soon! To be honest, Cider did most of the work, but Shortcake is owning the special events schedule. Don't worry, Genie is back this year too. Triple threat, three years in a row.
Today was orientation day. Basically it's the day when everyone from Santaland gets together in one big room, Santa recites "Twas the Night Before Christmas," and there are hugs all around. There are cookies and hot chocolate. Shortcake had some (weak) hot chocolate, and scavenged some cookies before heading down to see the pretty new Santaland. We all walked through the maze and the village and said hi and hugged and caught up. It was so great to see everyone who was back.
The Express line has been expanded this year, and it will be merging with the regular line just before the Gatekeeper. A new position, the Keymaster, will manage the line-merge. And holy construction, Batman! Macy's is all different! HR is no more - it's on the 7th floor now. So now the line will go double-back in front of the elevators and then in front of the freight elevators and then into Juniors. Shortcake is so glad she doesn't work the front line anymore. She misses the crowd control elves, but, whew, that long line is terrible. She's happy taking care of Santa in the Village.
No pictures today, but there will be some by the end of the week. Promise.
