Haunted mansion. People do this?!

[chrisgeraci]

Morbid, but Disney could probably make a fortune off this! Who wouldn't want to reside for eternity in the happiest place on Earth? But really, in the Haunted Mansion. I can see discreetly in a flower bed, but just dusting it in the Mansion? Morbid!:scared1:

Ok I came across this today looking for something else and I wanted to share it here. I've been thinking..wow..are you kidding me? I mean, I'm starting to not be shocked by much of what people try in the parks anymore. But this kinda creeps me out.
Discuss please...

This falls into my "What a Bunch of Freaks" category.....

Not to mention it's illegal & disrespectful.

I'm going to move this discussion over to the theme parks community board now, since it's not really a trip planning thread.

Here's a funny story about ashes...

My ex's aunt passed - wonderful woman. She had five children. She chose to be cremated but the kids couldn't decide what to do with the remains, which were handed to them in a carboard box. So the box went on a shelf till they could decide...for a year. Daughter #1 got kind of creeped out with the idea of her mom in a box on the shelf (really she felt like her mother was somewhere going "A cardboard box? Are you people KIDDING me?!?"), had received a really nice Prada bag from a boyfriend (who later became an ex-boyfriend) so figured - heck, this bag was more expensive than an urn, so...out of the box, into the Prada bag.

The kids still don't know what to do with the ashes. Their mom loved to gamble so Son #1 (whose business is doing well) decides he'll fly the five of them out to Vegas and sprinkle Mom along the Strip. Mom (in her stylish Prada bag) is inconspcuious. In Vegas, the daughters (# 1 - 3) decide to take mom out for one last "night on the town". They place the bag in front of slot machines (and play money for her) and at some of her favorite table games, telling people "Sorry, my mom's sitting there!"

At one point, Daughter # 1 is running low on chips and says "Ma - can you lend me some?" and takes some from her mother's pile. Wouldn't you know that it hit? For quite a nice piece of change too! She replaced mom's orginal stake and gave her a cut of the profits.

I don't know what they did with her. I believe they did leave a little of her behind in Vegas (where I don't know, nor do I want to) but I don't know what happened to the rest or to the bag. I think there are laws against spreading ashes where you wish for a reason and that needs to be respected - whether or not you agree with it - because the wishes of the deceased person don't trump the wishes of people who are alive and may take issue with it. Disney is private property and the owners do not want this done, no matter how much you may want to do it.

Personally, I'd rather a small part of me be put in a kick-butt expensive bag (something small but spectacular) and taken out on the town to have a good time every so often. The rest of me can stay discretely in a columbarium.

I made my wishes clear on these boards, but never thought it could really happen.MMM the 300,000 ghost maybe LOL

Okay...I just have to post! Listening to Live365 as I read this thread and the last three songs have been:

Don't fear the reaper, It's the end of the world as we know it and Gravedigger!

It's giving me chills!

Great.... Not a story for our daughter on our first Disney vacation but it does give me ideas to scare my nephew.
