Ariana Grande’s mother wants her ashes sprinkled in illegal location

by

As a seasoned entertainment enthusiast and storyteller myself, I find it truly captivating to witness the tales of those who have graced our stages and screens with their exceptional talents. In this case, we are talking about none other than the illustrious Whoopi Goldberg – a woman whose journey through life has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Ariana Grande recently disclosed that her mother, Joan Grande, has asked Ariana and her half-brother, Frankie Grande, to scatter their mother’s ashes at an unauthorized site on multiple occasions.

The 31-year-old pop star mentioned during a Las Culturistas podcast on Wednesday, which is hosted by her Wicked co-star Bowen Yang, that her mom frequently expresses her wish for her ashes to be scattered at Cinderella’s Castle in the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, FL.

In a similar tone, “I said, ‘Mom, it’s Christmas. Can’t we enjoy the moment?’ She replied, ‘Absolutely! It’s important to ensure that takes place.’ I responded, ‘Mom, I don’t really want to ensure that happens.’

Ariana, having been a member of Club 33, disclosed an interesting detail about her past performance at Cinderella Castle. She once transformed within the suite and mused that if she had scattered ashes, they might have accidentally landed on the actors working behind the scene.

Grande (born Butera) pointed out that they will be gently scattered over people who are dressed up like Tinker Bell, waiting for their moment to step into the spotlight.

Currently, it seems that the 67-year-old founder of Diamond Dog Entertainment spends much of her time enjoying theme parks alongside her 41-year-old son.

It’s understandable that the multiple Grammy award recipient might feel apprehensive, given that scattering ashes at any Disney park is explicitly forbidden and illegal, a fact that isn’t specified on their official website, although it reportedly happens regularly.

In 2018, a representative from Disney informed the Wall Street Journal that any visitors attempting such actions would be asked to leave the premises.

Disney employees will quickly close the attraction, employing the term ‘HEPA cleanup’ or colloquially known as ‘Code Grandma’. Following this, they will deploy a powerful ultra-fine vacuum cleaner to clear away any residue left behind.

Visitors to Disneyland who find themselves in trouble due to violating California’s Health & Safety Code 7054 should be aware that they may face penalties including up to six months in prison and a fine of $500, enforced by the Anaheim Police Department.

The Southern California Defense Blog stated in 2018 that not just criminal charges, but also legal issues would likely be on the table for you.

However, rather than being kept in the eternal beauty of the Haunted Mansion or Pirates of the Caribbean, your cherished one’s remains may ultimately find themselves discarded in a waste bin.

Despite The Haunted Mansion being the most frequented location, it was reported that Whoopi Goldberg secretly scattered her mother Emma Harris’ ashes at the It’s a Small World attraction within Disneyland back in 2010.

The EGOT winner, who is 68 years old, advised strongly against doing something during his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on July 11th. In simpler terms, he urged people not to do it.

Occasionally, I would pick some of hers and pretend to sneeze. Then I would exclaim, “Oh my goodness, this cold is just getting worse and worse!” Afterward, we approached the flower area labeled “Disneyland,” and there I pretended to sneeze again.

In 2017, Whoopi was bestowed the title of Disney Legend. She went on to share: ‘Then I confessed I had done it. To be honest, I wanted to verify that I hadn’t performed an action potentially hazardous, since it never crossed my mind. However, there’s a reason they discourage scattering ashes carelessly.’
