Happiest (final resting) Place on Earth

Yo Ho Ho and a sprinkle of husband...

Possible Scattering Of Human Remains On Disney Rides Reported
Ride Closed, Police Alerted After Woman Seen Dumping Substance On Ride

Disneyland workers were recently forced to close the "Pirates of the Caribbean" attraction after a ride security camera caught a woman apparently dumping human remains, in what may be a growing trend.

Workers at the Anaheim theme park spotted the woman sprinkling an unidentified substance into the water on the "Pirates" ride. Anaheim police were notified of the incident.

The woman told Disney park workers that the substance she dumped was baby powder, but officials are investigating the possibility that she sprinkled human ashes, Local 6 reported.

Some Disney watchers said park-goers tell them that people smuggling in the cremated remains of their loved ones and then sprinkling ashes on rides has been going on for a while.

They said it started at the Haunted Mansion, but now the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride is growing in popularity.

Al Lutz, who runs Miceage.com, told KABC that it is not unusual for people to scatter a loved one's remains at the happiest place on earth.

Disney officials said they were unaware of any confirmed ash-scattering incidents in the park and didn't believe it to be a problem, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Park officials said there was no real way of knowing if cremated remains were dumped into the "Pirates" ride.

I wonder if I can have my ashes scattered in the HM entrance graveyard?

Re: Happiest (final resting) Place on Earth

You know what? My family already knows where I want my ashes scattered...I can't divulge the exact location, but when folks ride the ferry launches into MK, they can wave to me...(shhhh...don't tell anybody).

Re: Happiest (final resting) Place on Earth

Hmmm, wasn't thinking about cremation, but I sure wouldn't mind getting on of the vaults outside HM.

I have long wondered how to leave my kids with one parting memory when I am gone, this could be it, lol.

Re: Happiest (final resting) Place on Earth

This is a pretty cool idea. My biggest fear is after I pass; the kids put me on a cross-country bus or something.

Re: Happiest (final resting) Place on Earth

The only problem with sprinkling someones ashes into the water at POR or IASM or any type of ride like that is....they empty the water when they refurb the attractions. So...the lesson...sprinkle it on the ride...not in the water;)

Re: Happiest (final resting) Place on Earth

At one time, my hubby said that he wanted me to spread his ashes at WDW. I told him I would just flush him down the resort toilet and they could filter him and spread him throughout the parks.
