I'm assuming that this would greatly depend on the time of year. May would probably be a much smaller number than July.

Over 4,000 on a normal Saturday in July

I'm not quite sure they are over 4,000 yet. But, if they are approaching 4,000 that would include all the employees at Breakers Express, Castaway Bay, the employee housing areas, etc. Not just on-Point employees.

I remember that Discovery Channel documentary said between 4,000 and 5,000 workers at peak season.

That's how many they have though, not necessarily how many are actually working.

True, I guess you do have to account for all the people who would be off on any given day.

well thanks guys for answering my question.

a friend and I were trying to figure out an estamite on sunday when we were there

Well, I suppose it could be calculated this way...

Let's say there are 4,200 employees...they work a 6-day workweek, so there's a 1-in-7 chance that any 1 person is off that day, which means 1 worker in every 7 has the day off, so take away 1/7 of the population, leaving 3,500 working that day.

Everyone works Saturday though, and you can't get those off unless your some sort of god(or have a really good excuse ;).) However, also consider that not everyone works O-C and at any given time probably only 60-70% are on duty. A Late Afternoon on a Saturday in July is probably the only time most of the workers are there and on duty.

I've gotten Saturdays off before...

I can see it in rides, since the size of crowd really doesn't matter and July you have peak employee numbers. But in the other divisions Saturday is a must, period. Plus we had a rule, call off a day, give up your day off!

That makes perfect sense. But you'd still get the 4 points right?
