Best to avoid the Toy Story lot on convention center days.

I didn't even think of that - thanks for the tip.

We survived. Massive kudos to Alex this one was - wow - above and beyond. Slightly overwhelming and a ton of walking but I'm crossing fingers that in the final breakdown we're middle of the pack I know already we blew one Jack. We finished 3 Queen quests and they were awesome!

So glad we found CP and GD for some points (and got to see cutest kid ever). FP and DP gave us quite a pickup when we thought we were doomed. So hard to tell if you were doing ok or complete failures on this one. And Lani for giving us a bit of a nudge when we were close on time at the end.

Plus the kiddo and I (her friend S sleeps like the dead) were doing it on no sleep thanks to the peeps next door who started getting lucky about 2 AM. And man oh man oh man the park was crowded.

As always, a wonderful experience. And we look forward to figuring out the massive amount of material we either tanked or never even looked at in the future.

Huge thank you to all the staff who were super helpful without giving anything away and encouraging when we were just about to give up on the whole shebang!

I was hoping we would get to take a fun over to the park in the late afternoon to say Hi to Steph and everyone else. Instead, I (plus Keith and my business co-horts) wrote copy all day long. ALL. DAY. LONG.

Oof. Recovering. Had tons of fun. More later.

I'm so glad we were able to be a part of this yesterday. Being on staff was a new and totally different experience and I loved it (though a part of me is bummed we missed the chance to compete in an Alex-written game).

800 people is a lot of people, I had fun in the morning playing crowd control (and even got a complement from Disney security on the job I was doing :) ). The best part was that where I was, controlling the end of the photo line, meant I got to see and say hi to literally every single team that came in. I found that a really fun and invigorating start to the day.

Meanwhile, I think my favorite moment of the day came at the end while we were handing out game materials to people who wanted to take them home. To that point I had only really looked at the stuff dealing with the station we were assigned to. So while sitting there I was reading some of the other quests...and came across one where Alex had clearly taken inspiration from this thread. That gave me a good laugh.

Anyway, I was not disappointed in this first glimpse of the other side. I'm not ready to hang up the iron-on transfers yet, I do see us playing again sometime in the future. But I'd be happy to help staff again too.

I had fun, but it's always too short. Back to regular life...

Man, if I had a nickel for every time I heard that...

.....you's have enough to have that extension surgery?:evil:

There aren't enough nickels in the world :(
