Started late today which means to also finish late. We were the "closes" so have to close the attraction and clear the guests from Discoveryland. Just got back in room at 1 am after I went with Maria and her friends from Italy to eat something at Macdo at Disney Village. Because we strangely had "lunch" at 4pm and then nothing until 22.45 when we finished, so were quite hungry.
No surprise, there were again lots of Dutch people today. Met a family from Alkmaar, recognised them from the AZ hat and scarf. Quite funny because they live near the Mare. They came back about 5 times after each other and when they saw me they were shouting and saying Alkmaar, Hup AZ, landgenoot. It was quite funny.
I was at Greeter 2 (at the outside entrance) when we closed the ride and Maria was at Greeter 1 (inside entrance). It was our first time closing for both of us and we weren't too sure what we had to do. As Greeter 2, I wasn't allowed to leave my position so I just stayed there and told everyone that it was closed and put the cord up so that no one could enter any more. And Maria had to check the rubbish bins and clean the queueing area. I was still waiting when I saw everyone else from the other attractions move in groups to the exit and seemed to leave. Luckily though other Space members came and I went with them. I was worried though that Maria was still there at the Greeter 1 waiting because we just left and there were still a few people missing. Also Valerie and Djenemba. But luckily they all came in the end just as we left, so they didn't have to spend the night inside the Russian mountain.
A few things happened today. I had to call the security because Valerie got "attacked" verbally by a guest and then other guests got involved and it was a bit of a problem, which I think did get solved in the end. Also a cast got hit by a guest with a water bottle because they said he was being rude. Also today I found out that French sign language is very different than British sign language with 4 deaf guests who entered through the handicapped queue and wanted to do the ride a few times after each other, which was a bit complicated but okay it worked. It was all right, they understood me but I couldn't understand what they were saying among themselves though.
The atmosphere between the casts is nice. Everyone is friendly and funny and there is a lot of variety of cultures. For example there are a few Italians, such as Maria who is from Bari (near Taranto like Elena), Spanish (such as Marcella and Bea), half Spanish half Chile (John), Mexican, one English girl (Iona), Cote D'Ivoire, Mali, Brazil, Marocco, China and others I'm sure and of course most are French.
Sleepies time now! Till tomorrow!
