I visited Holiday World on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, and I want to make a few comments that truly need to be made. As someone who teaches high school and managed restaurants at Opryland Theme Park throughout high school and college, I was very observant.

At the Goblin Burger, I was impressed by Rachel. Before I could sit down, she hurried over to squeegee the table and bench. This young lady was very thorough and very much on a mission.

At the Sweet Shop, there wasn’t a line; Nathan was extremely pleasant. He told me to take my time deciding and even offered to recite the menu—good kid. I think I could probably go on about several other things.

I chuckled to myself when I saw a group of people rush up to have their pictures made with Pat at the park’s opening. I don’t think Pat realizes that she is starting to acquire the status of Mickey Mouse. Perhaps, that’s what makes her so endearing. She’s the down-to-earth super grandma everyone wants.

Not too long ago we showed up and had to stand in line for 45 minutes because the computers were down. I’ll be honest. We actually started to leave with a vow of never returning on that particular day, but life got better after we got over that hurdle.

In short, if you could let Rachel and Nathan know they are valued and appreciated, I would appreciate this.

I don’t know if Pat wants to be called “super grandma”.

Sincerely,

Dana B.
