Disneyland is well-known for its cleanliness, among other things. The park grounds are kept relatively free from trash and debris thanks to a small army of cast members who roam the property armed with a broom and a dustpan on the end of stick. When they spot a piece of debris on the ground they quickly and efficiently scoop it up, using a single easy motion of the broom and dustpan. It’s a thing of beauty to watch.
One day while going into the park with R9 we saw a pair of underwear lying on the ground near the area where the hotel shuttles stop. These weren’t toddler’s training pants mind you, we’re talking genuine, bonfide underwear. We paused momentarily and pondered with each other the hows and whys of such an unlikely item in such an unlikely spot.
While we stood there one of the sweeper crew came by and scooped it up. I turned to the cast member and said, “I’ll bet that’s the sort of thing that you don’t sweep up very often.”
His reply was, “This is actually my third or fourth pair this week.”
We were amazed.
