Macy's parade and some kind of special performance?

 

[EagleScout610]

I'm way too tall for Dopey, not that I'd be able to be a character

I seem to remember some sort of super expensive character breakfast coming to the City this year. It was one of the department stores and it was something outrageous like $200/person.

Its for this:

Oh, my mistake--a mere $100/person for yogurt, ham and cheese croissant, and mini pancakes.

Will people really pay that? I know it's the City, but c'mon. Everyone has their limits. I'd pay that for a meal (no wine) from Eric Ripert, but mini pancakes?!

Setting up a temporary mini-entertainment dept in NYC is a lot of overhead. Consider the remote location.

Interesting. The only other time I know of this happening was a parade in Panama which... didn't go exceptionally well, as far as new performers go...

Nothing against the residents of Panama, but I'd expect there to be alot more people with an entertainment background willing and able to do this in NYC than in Panama. A nice change from waiting tables for a few up and coming yet to be discovered stars.

The cafe already exists in Saks, the overheads are mainly covered by them, the cost is still double what it should be.

Exactly. It's egregious. I am honestly curious to see if they'll be able to fill tables.

Holiday season. Come in for the weekend, do breakfast with Snow White, then see the Rockettes in the afternoon and the tree lighting in the evening. Crazy enough it might just sell.

Feel like with it being in NYC they won't have any trouble finding Disney standard performers. Wouldn't be surprised if the performers who book the job were past Disney Cruise Line performers who live in the area!

That doesn't seem as different as the expensive dinner parties they throw in the Resort....

They have a captive audience in Central Florida.

Thousands of places to eat in the City.

I'm genuinely curious to see if this works for them. Maybe by next year, Rapunzel will be appearing at Jean-Georges daily for breakfast.

5' 4" sure they can find a character for me. In fact I have family that works in Disney and in 1982 I had an interview for a position when they found out my height LOL
never did leave CT to apply
