• Attractions Host

  • Jun 2003 - Jan 2006

  Providing top notch service to visitors from around the world at Disneyland. Operations of the themed attractions of Disneyland, responsible for safe direction of guests, keeping designated clear spaces, surveillance of safety areas by direct observation, closed circuit television, and electronic sensors. Responsible for clearing fault conditions in amusement rides, validating proper operation, ensuring compliance of safety codes including use of safety restraints and tag-out/lock-out compliance. Required knowledge of show and park background information, pertinent support character role, locations and times of important services, shows, facilities.During experience in the Food and Beverage division, proactively identified specific safety issues and discussed these with management. This led to the end of unsafe business practices across all Disney parks related to manual movement of food and beverage carts. Previously very heavy food and drink carts were pushed by hand into and out of Disneyland. This resulted in many injuries and damages to food carts, second only to Characters. I proposed to equip all wheeled carts with brakes, preferably automatic ones, and to use the forklift to remove larger carts at night to the cleaning facility. Current practice influenced by my input is cleaning larger food stands in place at night with a mobile service facility on a truck and using only motorized beverage carts which stop automatically when released. This has resulted in significant savings for workplace liability costs and protects both cast members and guests alike from potential injury.
