DISNEY, MICROSOFT SOFTWARE POWER GOES OUT…
We’ve all had our share of war stories, which have included power outages, etc. At Disney this almost never happens. There is usually a back-up plan for the back-up plan, especially during live events! Our issue was not the software or the launch, but new construction. However, we resolved the matter. If there is no professional host, stage mangers know when to step in. A few lines of humor, coupled with loud voices, kept the room laughing.
NOTE: Always have a stage manager who can perform during an event.
