Disneyland and Walt Disney World have allegedly become one of the most popular spots for people to scatter their family member’s ashes.
According to the Wall Street Journal, custodians are called to cleanup ashes in the parks so often they even have a special code word for it: HEPA cleanup, referring to the ultrafine vacuum cleaner.
“The Haunted Mansion probably has so much human ashes in it that it’s not even funny,” one Disneyland custodian told the Journal.
Smuggled into the park in baggies, pill bottles, makeup compacts, ashes are reportedly spread in flower beds, landscaping around the park, and in the water rides like Pirates of the Caribbean, the Dumbo ride moat, and It’s a Small World.
Just so you know, spreading ashes at the park is “strictly prohibited and unlawful. Guests who attempt to do so will be escorted off property,” according to a spokesperson.
