Don’t schedule yourself for 4 hours straight if you know you’re going to have to eat, drink, or use the restroom at some point in that 4-hour stretch.
- All booth support shifts must be completed in 1-hour increments. You’re likely going to be on your feet the whole time; plan breaks accordingly. Expect to be at the booth for the entirety of your shift--show up early to check-in and find out which space you’ll work in, and don’t expect to leave early.
- Please don't schedule a costume and booth staff back-to-back (I will have to message you and ask which one you prefer) as there isn't a way to get in/out of costume that fast (unless you are a face character! Then you are good to go in any spot
