I hate confetti! Everytime a walker crossed the finish line at Downtown Disney they'd throw buckets of confetti on them. Continuous confetti for (a little of an hour? I'm not sure). It was layered so thick that when kids scooped up armfulls of it there'd still be a layer of it covering the ground. I spent my entire shift sweeping up all the confetti that migrated from Department 56 to the La Brea Bakery, plus all the stuff that the giant vaccums couldn't pick up. I thought it'd never end. When I thought I'd cleaned up a spot I'd look back and there'd still be more confetti on the ground. It spread like the plague. Then I tried to rake out some of the confetti in the flowerbeds. No way! That stuffs gonna be in there for months! Anyways, that's my rant on the CHOC walk. How was it in the theme parks themselves? How'd you guys do?

Ha! Wondered about this when I saw the raining of confetti as CHOC Walk was on TV. CHOC Walk was too early for me.
Hear your grief abt the tons of confetti we must magically make disappear. When I first hired in confetti was unbelievable. Damn stuff almost gave me a reason to quite. Will trade confetti for 10 huge popcorn spills ANYTIME :!: Confetti is EVIL!!! Call it "The Eisener Scourge"

Yeah it was BAD in downtown disney, i heard the confetti was inches deep. It is still inside the bushes, very deep inside, and the uva bar- forget about it. And actually there is confetti in the bushes all the way to the rainforest cafe.... Anyways wow audrey DTD must have been packed for the choc walk, did they have free breakfast or something for the walkers? I was wondering why they had 5 people on trash, 2 leads, 5 people on restrooms and like 11 people to do vacuuming and blowing. Oh and the trash cans on sunday in the park when people got on duty to do trash were filled with recycables. Damn i almost had to sort disneyland side style.
And I thought drawn to the magic was bad without a vacuum....
