Burial at Disneyland: Surreptitious Scattering of Ashes on Park Rides



Seems like scattering one’s ashes at sea is so passe - the trend now is to surreptitiously scatter ashes in … Disneyland!

On Friday, workers at the Anaheim theme park spotted a guest on the ride sprinkling an unidentified substance into the water, prompting them to close the attraction and alert police.

… within hours of Friday’s incident, online columnists and bloggers who track news at the park said they began receiving e-mails from Disney employees claiming the episode was a case of the surreptitious scattering of human ashes.

MiceAge, an online publicated edited by Disney journo Al Lutz and Kevin Yee, reported that burial at Disneyland is such a growing problem that Disney’s custodial department even had a "HEPA Cleanup" procedure!

    I don’t see the big deal in scattering human ashes, in fact it’s the simplest cheapest way however, a public place should not be used for such practice. It’s just common sense…at least to me.

    I don’t have any problem with scattering human ashes either, but I think Disneyland sees it differently. They have to keep their place clean (human ashes contain bits of bones) and plus the animatronic robots may get creeped out!

    I refer to such individuals as “Disney Queens”. Sicophants for Disney will hold on to their tiny little universe even after death. Fixation is immortal.
