There have been a few small groups trickle into the Princess Lodge during the last 3-4 days, maybe 20 or 30 in each group. But it really started today.
Today we had about 175 people arrive. Tomorrow there will be three trains arriving, one of them will have 508 people onboard that are coming to Princess Lodge.
Today I drove the trolley car around the lodge property for about 7 hours. People, mostly the elderly and infirm, would get on and I took them to their room or to one of the restaurants. It was fun.
A boy and his trolley car. Note the hat...isn't it cute!!!
It was cold with a strong wind all day and this is pretty much an open air trolley.
Tomorrow I will be driving a motor coach (aka bus) to the train station, taking people who are leaving and picking up arrivals. Will be doing that for all three trains. This is fun as well. I have done it once before. You get to stand up in front of them and give them a safety speech (where the fire extinguisher is, how the emergency windows work etc). Then we get to tell them about things in the park and at the lodge during the 10 minute drive from the depot to the lodge. All the coach drivers and guest services hosts stand in line and wave at them as the train pulls into the depot (the depot is a tiny building with covered but open walled waiting areas). So I will let you know how that goes.
