Subject: TWDC Fantasy Funerals

The Walt Disney World Company is proud to announce the creation of it's newest department, Fantasy Funerals. This marks an entry into a new line of business and compliments the Fairytale Weddings Department.

Construction on the Disney Funeral Reception Hall and Crematorium will begin in the fourth quarter of 1997 and the first funerals will begin in mid-1998. Services include package prices for family and friends including airfare, hotel, and tickets to the attractions. The hall will accomodate wakes of up to 600 mourners.

For Guests whishing to become a "permanent" part of the Disney Magic there are several package options available.

After cremation guests may choose to be buried under a marker on the "Walk Around the World" walking path that circles the Seven Seas Lagoon.
Our "Pixie-Dust" program will involve Tinker Bell scattering Guest's ashes over the Magic Kingdom durin the nightly fireworks display. Or they may choose to have their ashes placed in a fireworks shell to be exploded during Illuminations at Epcot.

For nautical fans Guest's ashes can be scattered into either the Seven Seas Lagoon or EPCOT's lagoon during a special ceremony aboard the "Friendship" boats.

Special Cast Memeber Pricing is available. Get in on the ground floor and book your reservations early.

With Walt Disney World's Fantasy Funerals you can become permenant part of the Magic!!


Hope this put a smile on your face and fear in your minds (Would they dare?)
P.S. This did spawn "Superstar Babies" birthing center at Studios, and then the "Circle of Life" Platinum Package (Birth Marriage and Funeral).

:grim: :D:

Thing is, this could be a major profit center. I know a number of fans who have arranged to have their ashes scattered on property. Disney is missing a revenue stream!

I could seriously see some of the people I know wanting to do this. Scary! But at the same time it wouldn't surprise me if Disney tried to tap into the funeral buisness. We do almost everything else. :)

Their cemetery has room for 1,000...

DL's is over booked. Shame Paul is dead I think we've got 1002.

NOT Disney related, but...

I go to Chapman University...

Last year, they unveiled a new "All Faiths Chapel"

.... complete with its own crematorium.

That's right, kids, for a nominal fee, you can be a part of Chapman University for all time.

.... and I have to walk by the remains of rich Orange County snobs every time I want to get to class.

This doesn't suprise me. My mom is kind of strange like that. She went to Pepperdine University. She loved it there. That's where she met my dad and her best friend and all that good stuff. She told us she wants part of her ashes scattered there. If that's what she wants, I guess we'll do it.

First of all, this could be a good idea for all those Disney Obsessed Fans who eat, sleep, breath, work Disney.

Second, when did this prank occur?? April Fools'? This would be a great Aprifl Fools' joke!!

i'm glad this isn't realy, it is way too gross to have tinkerbell sprinkle the ashes over the crowd during wishes, that is just morbid!

Thats too weird. First they get you when your alive. Then after you,ve passed on
