Heck I would like a little sprinkled at Walts buriel place in place Glendale. After all Walt has meant so much in my life in so many ways and all good.

Really, now, people, why would you want to be remembered as dirt at Disneyland? Don't you know what happens to dirt at Disneyland? If you want to spend eternity at a Disney park, spread 'em at one that doesn't clean up so much . . . Disney World!
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Yeah, I can't say I would want to be spread anywhere at Disneyland. First, I find it kind of creepy, especially for the happiest place on earth. Second, I know I would end up being cleaned up and disposed of anyway, so why bother? I agree with the notion that once I'm dead, who cares what happens to my remains, cremated or not. The only request I have is to have a cheap funeral so as not to burden my relatives with cost. I also agree that it would not be my wish for family to view Disneyland as my resting place and have that always hanging over visiting the park for them.

Originally Posted By Pollyana Bobias...that was very funny....made me laugh. I have been rethinking all this stuff about the ashes.

And think about the fact that while riding the Pirates, you could be breathing in Grandpa...ewwww....I think I will change my will.....

Originally Posted By sherrytodd I'm trying to figure out the logistics of haunting Disneyland.

Is there some sort of travel agent who could work this out for me?
Originally Posted By jonvn You might want to consider that if you haunt someplace, it better stay around for a while. Disneyland might close, and the land turned to other uses. Maybe a Malibu Grand Prix. Would you want to be haunting that?
