Orlando FL, our 9th McDonald's Corporation 2004 Worldwide Convention. We developed the plan for and then operated/managed the following: 

  • Convention shuttle - 9 routes with 10,000 riders per day from 12 hotels , including 100 peak coaches 40 off-peak buses and 45 staff daily; 

  • Full convention move to and from The Magic Kingdom, 200 coaches, 12,000 people from 12 hotels, timed to commence at each hotel to have first buses arrive at 7:30 pm, cleared all curbs by 8:00 pm. Event ended at 11:30 pm, and curb was clear at the Magic Kingdom by 12:20 am.  

  • All VIP transportation- arrivals, departures, charters, over 350 individual transportation requests during the week.

  • Set up and managed the GTM Services for 12 off-night events, ranging in size from a 17 passenger minibus taking a group of executives to dinner to a 30 coach shuttle between 12 hotels and Pleasure Island for the company's US division to gather for 4 hours.

  • When there was an unexpected change in McDonald's leadership, we stopped the shuttle 15 minutes before it started on Monday, then restarted it 4 hours later. On the fly, we accommodated the move of the opening general session from Monday to Tuesday, Tuesday's US general session from Tuesday to Wednesday and the US division's reception move from Tuesday to Wednesday. This meant immediate changes in our daily Peak bus numbers, and our coach supplier was able to make enough of the changes for us that it was relatively unnoticed by the attendee.
