Spreading ashes at Disneyland
Who knew people loved the theme park so much that they would request loved ones to spread their ashes there? According to this LA Times article, the rumor is someone sprinkled ashes over the side of the boat in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
That happens to be my favorite ride there, but I'd rather just the pirates' bones be scattered there, not my body! Seriously, Disneyland should seize this opportunity to make some money from this venture. Here are some ideas: 1) Turn the Haunted House graveyard into an actual graveyard, where people can hold funerals and bury their loved ones. Then they can visit their ghosts on the ride! 2) Build a mausoleum into the facade of It's a Small World. People can pay to have their loved ones' ashes stored there from all over the world. Little animated figures can sing Amazing Grace in every language. 3) Build a cemetery at California Adventure. I heard it's dead there anyway, and they're already planning a revamp of the place. 4) Let people scatter ashes "at sea" at the Finding Nemo ride (formerly the Submarines). This could be co-sponsored by the Neptune Society. 5) Offer a cryogenics center inside the Matterhorn — Walt Disney himself could be displayed there. They could charge big bucks for this one, akin to the E ticket. If your ashes could be scattered at any ride in Disneyland, which would you choose? — Posted by Jennifer Baldwin 9 comments from 7 users

My only reason for ever wanting my ashes anywhere at Disneyland would be so I could be one of the few people in the world who get in to that money trap without taking out a second mortgage or visiting a loan shark. Build a mausoleum into the facade of It's a Small World...I, for one, am one hundred percent in favor of replacing Small World with ANYTHING else. Even a graveyard would be more lively, and maybe people who go on the ride would be able to stay awake. posted by
