4 days until Christmas!

The day went by quite quick today. Only the morning was long doing the "load" all the time (reason why my arm and wrist are hurting now, because of pushing down on all the harnesses all the time) without any break from 08.40 until 11.45 when I had my lunch break. There was a lady today who entered the train and said she didn't want to put the harness on, but that is impossible and not even allowed at all! So she made everyone wait and caused delays by wanting to get out with her daughter. People get so panicky when the harness doesn't open at the end of the ride and don't let me or the other cast members calmly help them to get out easily. Oh dear the fast pass ticketing machines had a problem today for a while and during that time of course I was just going to the greeter 2 position and everyone attacked me with questions about the fast passes. It was strange because some people's tickets worked and some did not. So to at least do something I gave some people blank tickets with the time and my signature on it so that they could come back later anyway. But there were just too many people and the blank tickets ran out and I wasn't even supposed to be at that position and everyone got irritated. Then later at the Mixer position where the people with the fast pass tickets enter the queue many people just wanted to enter with no tickets or with invalid tickets or an hour or more too early. They just didn't understand. I explained to them that the other people in the normal queue are waiting 45 minutes to an hour to get on the ride and that it is not fair if I would just allow everyone to enter from the fast lane. 

After I finished work, badged out at 16.29 and walked to the Imaginations building because the bus was blocked by the cars for the 5pm parade, changed, got clean costume, had dinner in canteen, then decided to go to the Disney Studios for a while. Went on the Siggy Dog Ride which was a bit disappointing but nice for little kiddies, but it only had 5 minutes waiting time so was good. 
Then I went on the Tower of Terror, Hollywood Hotel, which is a giant lift where you sit in and it goes up and down when you least expect it. It goes quite high and it's open at some parts at the top so you can actually see the outside. Wouldn't like to do it again!

Afterwards when the Studios closed at 7pm I went into the Park which closes at 10pm at the moment. Went on BTM (big thunder mountain) because I still had a fast pass to use so didn't wait long also. And again lots of Dutchies around today.
