When we stopped by the candy shop in the morning, the line was all the way back to the Coke Corner seating area (though all inside since it was raining). There were a couple for sale back in Pooh Corner when we were in Critter Country in the afternoon, so they must have avoided the rush somehow.
Originally Posted By Mickeysbestfan The ones for sale any where other than the candy shop on main street are made elsewhere and sent to the parks. The ones made fresh are sold in batches. You must be one of the 15-20 people in line to receive a ticket to buy 2 of the approx. 40 canes made out of each batch. Each batch takes about 2 hours to make. You are give a window of time to come back to purchase the canes. If you don't come back in that window they can be sold to someone else. Each batch is given a different ticket so the CM's in the shop know which batch you are suppose to get your cane from.

There's a few things I saw them making on Guy's special that made me want them!
Originally Posted By tashajilek It looks like a lot of work making those candy canes. I was suprised when they said the cm making the candy canes has been working there 35 years. Its nice to see there has been someone working there so long who still loves their job. I guess there are still some quality employees.
