Hey Dreamworks! Where are the movie soundtrack versions of "The Road To El Dorado" songs on Spotify?!

There are alternate versions on there, also performed by Elton John, but, we need to have the movie versions too!

Rewatching Shrek for the millionth time & I just realized the whole quest happens because Magic Mirror made the mistake of saying Farquaad wasn't a king & had to come up with a way out of being destroyed

There's truth to not having too many people, but here, I think it's more about their position rather than the number of ppl. If 1 was in front of the booth, 1 behind, & 1 in the walkway to engage ppl, I think that would also help a lot. When we have a booth we're usually 3-5 ppl, but we spread out.
