Why was Disney’s Haunted Mansion temporarily shut down? Well, someone chose to do something special there that others didn’t appreciate.

They say Disney World is the most magical place on earth. Some people appreciate it more than others. I’m sure you have some people in your life who are Disney-obsessed and it’s their favorite place to visit and vacation. Maybe they have special memories with family there, maybe they’re a Disney Adult, or maybe they just like the nice weather. It could hold special meaning to people and that’s understandable. However, just because it is special to your and/or your loved ones doesn’t mean you can spread ashes on the Haunted Mansion ride.

Disney’s Haunted Mansion Temporarily Shut Down

According to Inside The Magic, the Haunted Mansion ride was temporarily closed and evacuated after a guest reportedly attempted to scatter human ashes during the popular attraction. It sounds like this has been a recurring issue in theme parks over the years but it creates a significant disruption for guests and requires an immediate response from the park staff.

A report, shared by a park guest, describes the act of selfishness saying, “As I write this, Haunted Mansion is down and being evacuated due to someone spreading human ashes on the ride. Aside from the selfishness of the act, your loved one’s ashes are going to be vacuumed up into a bucket with mouse droppings and other detritus and thrown in the garbage. I can’t think of a more ignominious end to someone I cared for. Plus, if we can identify who did it (there are cameras all throughout the ride), you’re probably going to be trespassed from all Disney property. IOW, please don’t do this,” via Inside The Magic.

That’s a good point that I never really thought about. While it might seem special and that they’ll spend eternity on the ride they loved, it’s going to be taken care of and put in the garbage and that’s not what you would want nor what they would want. Definitely not ideal. You can read more about this is the Reddit thread here that’s now going viral online.

Some of the commenters share similar experiences which is absolutely wild. Others made jokes which are common on Reddit threads like this. Also, can you imagine if the speed of the ride or something causes the ashes to go up into someone’s mouth? Disgusting!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

  • Dave's Other Job Offer

    Can you imagine Dave in any other job? It would definitely be interesting! Well, it could soon become a reality. Dave received an offer from an erotic novelist to record the audio versions of her books and although he considered it, he doesn’t think his wife or the company would approve of him taking it as a side gig. I would buy that audio book!

  • Dave's Got Drugs In His Pockets

    Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a guy who claimed the drugs in his pockets weren’t his and neither were the pants he was wearing. Dave then plays the song, ‘Drugs in my Pockets’ by The Monks but no one on the show has ever heard that song before. Turns out, the song isn’t bad! Well, at least as bad as Dave’s version of it. Check out BOTH versions above!

  • Dave's Plane Ass Incident

    Somehow, Dave always ends up in the most awkward situations. There’s one common denominator: himself. Dave was involved in an uncomfortable situation on an airplane over the weekend. He accidentally squirted hand sanitizer on a man’s ass that was standing in front of him and wanted to know if he handled the situation correctly.

  • Dave's Patio Furniture Update

    It’s the update we’ve been waiting for! Last year, Dave made a delivery mistake and sent outdoor patio furniture to people in Florida after meeting them one time. He shares an update after finding out the people kept the furniture for themselves and never said anything. Would you have done what Dave did? What would you have done in this situation?

  • Who Won't Stop Texting Dave?

    Technology has come a long way over the years. However, it still has a way to go. Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about an odd problem that Dave is experiencing involving his robot vacuum. It won’t stop texting him saying that it’s stuck, even when it’s not plugged in. Everyone says this is a problem only gadget man Dave would have to deal with.
