Staff Party or Remake of "The Saw"?!
I'm a huge supporter of "Employee Events" and love those that are out of the box and crazy. I just don't always get to go to them due to us having so many attractions spread out amongst the SE area and my hectic travel schedule. Three years ago I started my attraction in Orlando's first Halloween "luncheon" with the typical costume contest and prizes... since turning things over to my management team there, the concept of a "Halloween Party" has taken on a whole new life (or after-life I should say). The photos each year are riveting and the attendance of staff impressive. This year I made a point of staying in Orlando so that I could attend the event and support the staff. Wow. I just have to say my team is one VERY creative group of individuals. At the end of the day... those are the moments that make all of what I do so worth it. When you have an hourly employee come up to you so excited you are there and will be able to hear the rap they have planned for everyone. Or the employee who made his costume by hand (Mad Hatter - very impressive) and wins the costume contest... beaming with pride as he is recognized by his peers. And the managers who put in a very long 10-hour shift already... excitedly getting everything ready for their staff... and who stays until 2am to clean up afterwards, knowing that the next day will come all too soon. These are the moments I appreciate the most. Last night was my Orlando team's Halloween event... what a fun time it was!
