FOYER ACTIVTIES
As the guests arrive (the ones on time), have them wait out front (Willy Wonka songs playing). Dave arrives as Willy Wonka on a scooter with a large W on it. He talked to them for a minute and tells them he forgot that it was the day of the factory tour and he didn't know why they were there. He leads them inside.
Take golden tix and give out name tags.
Have kids sign the traditional WW contract on the wall w/sharpie and feather for quill
As we wait for other arrivals, have "Charlie Bucket" burping contest: pass out sodas and then have kids go up stairs trying to burp; everytime they burp they get to go up one step.
