Which brings me to benefit number two. Because we need to get back to school for two weeks of reading period and two weeks of finals before our fall semester is complete, our vacation is truncated immediately after New Year's. You've barely put away the confetti and the champagne before you're packing up and heading back to school, a measly two weeks after leaving Harvard.

But at the same time, there will be no litter to worry about. At the recent drawing and Celebration celebration, the confetti had hardly hit the ground before a Disney confetti picker materialized to sweep...
