Thanks for the comments. The three American CM's that worked that I met who worked in Guest Control had their family names on their name tag. This is just like any other "regular" CM working for Oriental Land Company and as is custom in Japan. However, the few other artists, musicians, etc. had the first names on the tags. ...P.S. I overheard some CM's say the crowd today was about 30,000 at TDS! Ouch! It was pretty tight in some places.
Hey JoeInJpn- good to see you here!
As an interesting bit of trivia for Tokyo Disney fans out there: If their family name is on their name tag, they are employees of the Oriental Land Company. If their first name is on their nametag, then they are either employees of Walt Disney Imagineering Japan, Walt Disney Entertainment, or Walt Disney Attractions Japan. Further, if their names are written in blue letters, they are with the operations team, and if it is in red letters, then they are on the Tokyo DisneySea construction/design team. So, if you see any of those red-lettered first-name nametags out there in TDS, be sure to stop them and let them know how much all of their hard work is appreciated!
Yes- you are absolutely right- almost 30K yesterday. The biggest day (except today is also supposed to be around the same). As for capacity, OLC says around 50 thousand is full capacity, but as you know since you have walked in the park, things can get reeeeeeeealllllllly tight- especially around Mermaid Lagoon. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they lower that number in order to improve the guest experience.
