The Royal Family of Marocco launched into space today

It started snowing again today from the afternoon onwards until now and still going. So we opened up later than normal today because all the checks (validations) had to be done again (the opening procedure) because some parts were frozen inside the mountain. People were queuing up outside the entrance all the way to the end of Discovery Land even. They were really determined. But most people were quite annoying asking the same questions over and over again. Is it closed? Why? When does it open? What time do I come back? How do the fast passes work? Where is that? And so on and on. After a while, after people did a bit of dancing to warm up, we proceeded with a 102, the opening of the ride to the guests.

While at the mixer, I had to stop a lot of children who were too small/short to go on the ride. They and the parents were quite upset of course because they had waited for so long all ready and now they have to leave. That is quite bad because that means that the Greeters 1 and 2 haven't checked everyone properly. But luckily I caught them before they actually arrived at the point where they board the trains. That would've been worse! This is not so nice to do because the kids start crying and the parents get angry at me and say it's only a bit, let us go!

Also there was this family (Russian I think) who just entered through behind the normal queue while the normal queue was full of people and the waiting time was 60 minutes. They just came and wanted to walk through, but of course I didn't let them. They were trying really hard to convince me to let them through. But I didn't give in because that would've been very unfair to the other people waiting. So in the end after quite a while they left and didn't even come back in the normal queue. Oh well. Too bad for them.

Did my first pin trade today. Changed my little Pluto pin for a pin of Stitch dressed in the Tower of Terror costume. Good swap I must say.

I also bought a new pin for my collection. This one of Space Mountain.
