Haunted mansion. People do this?!

For those of you grossed out by the thought of scattered ashes around the parks, imagine this:

Remember when WDW restrooms used to have powdered hand soap?
"Mom, I found a tooth in my soap."
 
Forget spreading my ashes at WDW. My wish was to be cremated in the burning settler's cabin. So much for that.

My DD is not a rude child! If someone does something she doesn't understand it is NORMAL for a child to ask for an explanation. Ignoring a child does not alleviate the situation. It makes it worse. Maybe you think that all children are rude? Seems like from the tone that you are insensitive to children period. You did not like my response. I did not post it just for myself.

Maybe YOU NEED A TIMEOUT! :mad:
 
I would have absolutely no problem with a former homeowner's family coming and leaving their ashes on my property. It's the circle of life!

I would not either! Actually thinking about it, I spent the first 22 years of my life at one house, and in the woods behind it. I'd wouldn't mind that being a resting place for some of my ashes. So if someone was really attached to my current house I'd happily oblige. Once again, it's basically powder it will just blend it to the ground and be gone... and that goes for anywhere you put it. And earlier someone who was opposed to it said it would be ok to spread it in the grass of a cemetery, but not the grass of WDW. What's the logic behind that?

The ONLY valid argument to a decent scattering (a sprinkle in the flowers, lagoon, moat, etc...) I've seen so far is that it could be mistaken for something else (anthrax) and force a shutdown or evacuation.

And more on the argument that its going to wash away, be swept up etc... that's going to happen anywhere. It's SYMBOLIC!!! I put some of my dads at his favorite fishing spot 3 years ago. That's LONG gone by now... but it was still symbolic and moving.

Don't be silly. I just believe that there is nothing wrong with telling a child that something an adult does is really none of their business. No more no less. At 3 or 4, my kids would say someone had a big butt or ask intrusive questions. By 7, they understood that socially this is inappropriate. Maybe you need to read this without a 'tone' in your head.
 
For me, it would be the water around Cinderella's Castle!!! That way I would eternally be at the Castle.

I told my DW that, when I die and am cremated, she could either 1) spead my ashes in Bay Lake or 2) have me made into a diamond. I think she likes the diamond idea better! :rotfl:
 
I would also add that I wasn't the one who stated that your child was loud. That was your information. Loud = rude in my book.

Doesn't sound normal to me.She sounds rude
 
Indiana,

Perhaps you have forgotten that she wasn't asking about the features on a person, which she would not do, but rather what they were doing. Which is what she would have observed & would consider littering. Which, btw she would promptly report to a cm.

Really? So if your 7 year old sees someone "miss" a trash can with a cup she runs for the nearest CM? Does she take you with her?

My oldest (who was maybe 8 at the time) just asked me if it was OK for him to pick it up and throw it away.
 
Well since she can't go back on the ride & hop out with a dust pan....YES, she would tell a cm.

Yes, since I am her mom, I am biased.

Yes, she has a "piercing" quality to her voice, it carries & it is loud even if she is talking soft.

Why? And why would you allow it? my kids would just ask what was going on, and when I told them it wasn't their problem, they would go on with life and enjoying themselves. Narcing to a cm would never occur to them.

Loud conversation about other people is rude, regardless of what one is discussing.
 
This happens in WDW daily. If you've been to Disney more than a few times and haven't noticed yet, I doubt you ever will.

The perfect child.
