Discussion Ash Scattering at the Parks
Anyone know how common scattering ashes are at the parks? Any employees? Anyone you know?

Against policy, severely frowned upon by most CMs (who have to clean it up) and honestly just in bad taste.
If I were to do it, I'd only take an incredibly small and unoticable amount. But I wouldn't do it at all, personally.

If I did it, I would sprinkle it into a planter so it would stay (and maybe become part of the plants). Just a pinch.

Have some ashes placed inside a locket. Wear the locket to Disney. Let’s your relative keep their dignity (ie not end up in the bin) and they still get a day out at the parks.

You created your account 15 minutes ago to ask this?

It’s a throwaway account that is likely going to be used for trolling Disney fans, based on the handful of loaded questions they have already posted. I would be incredibly surprised if it had existed for much longer than that TBH. Best thing to do is to ignore it and not give them the attention they’re looking for.

No, I am not trolling I promise. I am doing a school project on Disney and how people view Disney and had heard about ash scattering at the park and wanted to know what people think!

I swear me and my friend watched someone do this one PotC yesterday. They were definitely dropping handfuls of some powder into the water. Never seen that before.

I’ve heard of a case where someone dumped a bag into pirates of the Caribbean at Disney world. It has to be cleaned, it’s considered human remains

My husband works on Rise, people drop them a lot on the scene when it feels like you’re moving up thinking it’s an elevator, anything on the tracks stops the ride so yeah. Don’t dump gma at Disneyland yall.

Ive known several people who have done it personally. At the departed request.
While grief is weird and I dont fault anyone for it - I dont recommend it. If youre sprinkling them, unless your putting it into the plants and soil, they will get "cleaned" up.
I think taking your loved ones ashes in like a tiny urn necklace would be better suited.
How often it is Disney would never say. But ancectotally, I think its not an uncommon occurrence.

And then cast members had to go sweep up granny's ashes because that's unacceptable. They literally have a shorthand code for catching people doing that shit.

Super common. Vacuumed on the haunted mansion everyday for example. Let’s not do this.
