Director of Fun

Director of Fun is a male character who was the party leader at Isla de Corales. Greg Heffley stated that his purpose was to "Get people moving."

Appearance
The Director of Fun is seen as a skinny person who's constantly wearing a flower t-shirt, striped shorts, and sandals. He sports glasses and has dark curly hair and beard, and always appears shaking a pair of maracas.

Involvement
The Director of Fun first appears when Greg was trying to take a nap near the beach. He plays a large boombox, which disturbs Greg greatly. He then tries to ignore him, while the people around him started to join the Director in the fun. Unfortunately, the Director of Fun pulled in Greg to join in the fun, and Greg submitted, though he said that he wasn't comfortable with, "all the touching."

Then, the Director of Fun disbands his conga line, and pulls out a bucket of high-standard coins. He dumps them all into the swimming pool, and lines up all the children, including Greg, along its perimeter. The Director of Fun then blows his whistle, and all of the kids go into a "free-for-all," where they try to get as many coins as possible. Eventually, Greg ended up with three dollars.

He appeared again much later in the book when Greg's family was finally sick and tired of the trip, and they were trying to rest again, but the Director of Fun appears again. He and his conga line circle around the family, not realizing that they were not in the mood. But he paused the conga line when he spotted something in Manny's bucket, and screamed when he realized that it was a Box Jellyfish. He immediately reported it to the nearest lifeguard, and soon the beach was evacuated, and the pool was drained.
