Have you ever experienced the joy and excitement of the kids when they get them? I don't think they will disappear any too soon.
I am very suprised that some higher ups at Disney have not banned giving out the little round Disney stickers to kids. Everywhere you go..... people litter the park and attractions with them.... and in the Florida heat, its Hell to get them off.:shrug:
Being one of the CMs that have to clean them up, I can tell you that they are NOT easy to get off. These areas include the TP dispensers in the restrooms, textured concrete, wallpaper and on floors where hundreds of guests walk over. As far as gum goes, it does little to no good for Disney to not sell gum in the parks when they sell other candy that has the same effect when it's dropped. Those little Mickey gummies and spree candies are the worst. Every night in the Soarin' queue it takes 3 CMs two hours to remove candy/gum off the floor before they do their regular cleaning.
This, the reaction when anyone gets them is immense (even when I've gotten them, :ROFLOLWhen I first gave those out I was amazed at how people reacted. To a 20 year old college kid giving out stickers was part of the job. To the kids and parents that got them it was like you gave them a winning lottery ticket.
