Sunday, November 1 marks the end of Daylight Savings Time. Please remember to set your clocks BACK 1 hour before going to bed Saturday night. We get an EXTRA HOUR OF SLEEP. YEAH!!!!
MICKEY’S VERY MERRY XMAS PARTY
We will be carrying MVMCP Hard Ticket (Pre-Activated) inventory for the following dates: 11/8, 11/10, 11/12, 11/13, 11/15, 11/17, and 11/19. These are located in the POS in Miscellaneous Special Events. Our HARD tickets for these dates will be valid EVEN if it’s SOLD OUT. As was with MNSSHP, when these dates are past, we will still be able to sell the additional dates through an AGS Manager as long as the event date is not sold out. Also, our guests will be able to enter the Magic Kingdom as early as 4 pm with our tickets.
HOLIDAY DAY OFF REQUESTS
We will not be accepting any requests for holidays off, including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. What we will be doing is passing around a signup sheet to each of you to put down your PREFERENCES in order of what time off you would like for those holidays. We will then do our best to accommodate them, while also looking at seniority. Please do NOT request any of these days off in When to Work or they will be denied. Again, the holiday periods are our BUSIEST times of the year, and this is when you make the most money, so we need all of you to work.
ORLANDO MAGIC BOOKINGS
First of all, don’t forget that we have 2 seats available in Terrace B, Section 111, Row 8, for each game. If you have a guest wanting other areas, please call an AGS manager and they will book them for you and put the actual tickets in DropBox for you to print out and give to the guest. DO NOT call the Orlando Magic directly anymore. If you do that, the guest will have to go to Will Call to pick up the tickets and we don’t want that.
BLIZZARD BEACH CLOSED TILL 1/3
Please be sure to tell your guests this when selling Water Park tickets. Typhoon Lagoon remains open through 1/2/16.
AQUATICA 50% OFF
This is a special offer that is available only online and NOT at the gate. If your guest mentions it – or if you are printing off the VIP list at any of the Vistana desks – you must print the 50% off tickets in EZ Ticket as well. If the guest doesn’t mention the offer, please sell the regular Aquatica tickets because you make almost DOUBLE the commission on the regular tickets than the 50% off tickets. Yes, you can sell the 50% off tickets at the regular price and make even MORE commission, but you have to be careful because the actual ticket when printed reads “50% Off Offer” so if your guest sees that, they may complain.
END OF DAY PAPERWORK
Effective immediately, we want BOTH the Disney and Universal EOD reports attached to your paperwork. Here’s what we want you to do: Print the Disney End of Day report on the BACK of your log sheet; print the Universal EOD on a separate page, and print the Product Sales Report on the BACK of the Universal report. Staple the Universal and POS report to the BACK of your log sheet with the POS report facing OUT. Be sure to MATCH up all your tickets. We continue to have extra Universal tickets printed that YOU need to return yourself. If you have too many tickets printed, run your DETAIL report and RETURN the FIRST SET of any duplicates.
ORLANDO EYE IS NOW OPEN
The Orlando Eye has been fixed and is available for ticket sales. Feel free to sell any tickets that include the Orlando Eye. Remember, these tickets are in the LEGOLAND GUEST SERVICE ticket store to print.
3 PARK BUNDLES
We now have 3 Park Bundles in the POS. These are designed to encourage guests to buy additional tickets when purchasing a 1 Day Disney ticket. When a guest asks to buy a 1 Day Disney, you should always ask “Are there any other parks you will be visiting?” and then go into your pitch for the 3 Park Bundle. These are available for ALL of you to sell! Basically they are priced to waive the convenience fee when bundling the tickets together.
PUSH HIGH PROFIT TICKETS!
Magic, Dinner Shows, BMG, Cirque, Sea World parks and Legoland will make you the most money! Let’s really try to push these parks!
BALANCE TABLE CALCULATOR
For those of you having trouble with your Balance Table, in Drop Box there is a worksheet that can help you. All you do is fill in the white boxes with your starting bank, ending bank, and sales and it will help you calculate your deposit. Try it!
READ EACH TICKET OUT LOUD
We are having far too many careless mistakes made. Many of these mistakes could be avoided by reading EACH ticket out loud to the guest as you pass them over. In ONE DAY, we’ve had guests getting BLANK Disney shells, and guests who paid for Universal PTP tickets and have received BASE tickets. Please be more careful. Remember, you must get to the “Congratulations” page for Disney and be able to “Print Guest Copy”.
BATCH OUT CREDIT CARD MACHINES
We still have a lot of deposits coming in without the credit card sales being settled. Please call a lead if you are unsure of how to do this. If you haven’t gotten to a final slip that reads “Settlement Successful”, then you haven’t completed your batch out.
ARMANDO’S VACATION
Armando will be on vacation from 10/31 – 11/9. Please call any other managers for help during this time. He will be on a cruise and out of cell phone contact from 11/4 – 11/8. Thank you!
