Ashes and Pirates

Apparently officials at Disneyland this week had to close the "Pirates of The Caribbean" ride because a women was believed to have scattered a loved one's remains inside the ride. According to this report this may not be the first time:

Some Disney watchers said park-goers tell them that people smuggling in the cremated remains of their loved ones and then sprinkling ashes on rides has been going on for a while. They said it started at the Haunted Mansion, but now the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride is growing in popularity. Al Lutz, who runs Miceage.com, told KABC that it is not unusual for people to scatter a loved one's remains at the happiest place on earth.

Full disclosure: I did propose to my wife on the Haunted Mansion. To have my ashes scattered there would seem a little obsessive. I mean, I like the Haunted Mansion and all but not that much. Instead I'm leaving instructions to have my ashes dispersed in the lazy river at the Kalahari Indoor Waterpark at the Wisconsin Dells.
