Oh goodness. Every time we get a new member of management, they like to share their pranks with us to seem more like "Real" people and less like disciplinarians

. But I'll get onto the pranks in a bit-
As for
transitions - to use our official fancy word, when the kids needed to transfer back and forth between the Club and Lab on the classics (Well, not anymore on the Magic but before this month), they would have to ask a counselor. This wouldn't often be immediate because -as you can remember, though there are a number of counselors in the space, only a few may be permitted to leave the area they are standing at. In fact, when you look at the spaces on the classics and have say, 11 counselors on the floor - only about 2-3 of those Counselors are physically able to leave wherever they've been assigned and exit the space to transition kids over. In addition, the one Counselor acting as "Group Anchor" - i.e. the one who has free roaming capabilities in the space, isn't allowed to leave the area and must therefore swap with anyone in a stationary position!
Still with me?
This is further limited by the fact that 2 counselors are always required to escort the kids over to the other space. And that if either of those counselors is male, they will need to find one of us female counselors to go with. Because 2 males are never to be trusted in caring for children. Those horrible, vile, dangerous certified/background checked/experienced males

.
Because of the amount of time it takes for this to get arranged, we tend to wait and see if any other kids want to join us and then walk together as a group for efficiency's sake. It does suck a bit sometimes when you see a kid walking around the room asking several counselors to go to the other space and having them say "Sorry, I can't leave this spot right now, please ask someone else near the front!" and then the CMs at the front desk say "Sorry, I'm not allowed to leave the front desk area right now, please ask someone walking around the middle of the room!"

lmao: And yes, it isn't unheard of that one space will send over a particularly challenging group of kids to the other side. Usually when the Club or Lab appears to be exceptionally busy compared to the other, someone will usually make an announcement about how fun and exciting the other space is and ask if any kids would like to go. E.g.: Ooooo who likes science and videogames! Ooooo who likes a big fun pirate ship slide!

As for pranks, everyone used to like prank calling each other pretending to be a Manager or Cruise Director observing them on camera saying they weren't supposed to be sitting down for that long, or not smiling enough.
One time, Counselors made some very convincing ...potty accidents out of moist playdough and left it lying in clumps after closing time.
My personal favorite prank was when I hid behind the bushes on
Castaway Cay right after Scuttle's Cove was closed and pretended to be a crying child who'd been left behind. The fear on the other Counselors' faces was priceless!
