Hi !
Spotlight on Speedy

Traffic Control, Goodwill Ambassadors, Greeting Committee, Trivia Hosts, Social Directors and Arrival Expeditors....sound like some fun jobs? How would you like to do them all? If you have entered the park on a Friday evening, you've no doubt encountered the Cindys!  Talk about energy, these gals are burning calories left and right while coordinating a safe, friendly and speedy check in. When the arrivals load is heavy, the ladies are tag-teaming to gather information and deliver it with a smile - along with candy and dog treats.  Along with the fresh air, another love is visiting with our guests. When things slow down a bit it gives the girls a chance to chat with our guests and let them know how glad we are to have them here.  The Cindys' embrace our theme weekends and decorate to the max, especially showing their patriotic spirit whenever possible. Cindy Fuller is in charge of trivia, she has a little issue with everything being 'just right', so if you notice the trivia board a little off kilter - I wouldn't mention it. Our more intelligent guests who ace the trivia question are rewarded with some Smartees, while Cindy diplomatically hands out the DumDums when needed. If you have a sec, stop by and say hello - but be quick cuz they don't call it Speedy Check-in for nothing!  PS - the Speedy team couldn't get by without the assistance of Elaine and Mike, and for the great efforts of the whole team we applaud them.  On another note, Cindy Morse is counting down the days when her boys return from Aphganistan, we've got just about a month to go and we can't wait to see them. Thanks boys !
