UNIVERSAL
Until January 6th, come celebrate the holidays at Universal! Not only has Grinchmas returned with the classic show telling the story of the Grinch, but Hogwarts castle has a whole new light show along with an all-new Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s! Universal themselves said these changes are the biggest they have done in over a decade for the holidays. If you aren’t able to go to the parks yourself before January 6th, in your free time watch the parade and castle show so you can explain it to your guests.
Universal: Mannheim Steamroller will be performing on the weekends inside of Universal. Catch the Universal holiday parade featuring Macys. Festive lights and special offerings inside of Diagon Alley, including holiday performances by Celestia Warbeck.
IOA: See the Grinch and all the Who’s in The Grinchmas™ Who-liday Spectacular. Watch Hogwarts transform at night with a magical light display and some fireworks, along with merry décor and lights.

EMPLOYEE NOTES:
Enjoy the Employee Appreciation Party Sunday! Dress to impress. If you signed up for Seaworld’s Hospitality Days this weekend and you’re scheduled to work, you can go any of those 3 days. Seaworld has informed us that your guests’ tickets will only be valid the day you go since they have had people sell the tickets in the past. These tickets are for you and your guests to enjoy and take advantage of all of the holiday offerings so you can better sell this to guests.
Lots of mistakes on booking Legoland BOGO tickets. Please review these procedures with your Team Lead or manager before selling. Check the park hours and always give out the times and information to every guest when they purchase tickets.
