Working Pirates and Princesses Parties makes for a long night!

The shops were all dead tonight, nobody was buying anything. It didn't help that the 8:00 report from the front entrance said there were only 4,000 people in the park. The MK can hold probably 20 times that so there was almost nobody there. The rain drove a lot of people away from the party. There was a steady stream of people heading towards the gates, especially after the fireworks.
Being so slow made for a very long night. It doesn't help that there were a lot of people working in my area so stocking got done pretty quickly leaving not much to do. We all left earlier than scheduled except for a few people. The manager, coordinator, and the two money counters were still there when I left and I understand two CMs from my area were still working over in Expo Hall.
I will never again pick up extra hours at a P&P Party. I didn't even realize I would be working a party until earlier today. I do want to go to one sometime as a guest though. What little I saw of the parade looked neat and I would love to be able to watch the fireworks (instead of just hear them going off all around).
Oh, yeah. The old party line phone that was in what is now Crystal Arts is back. It is in the Chapeau and working.
