The Happiest Place on Earth?
So now that I live in Irvine, my parents seem to think that I know everything that's happening in the Magic Kingdom. Needless to say I've been in rehearsals for the last seven weeks so I haven't been to disney since I first got down there. They said some ride was going to be shut down for the next year, and I didn't know what it was (it's a small world), so I figured I needed to do a little investigating and this is what I came across.
Dearly Departed - On Disneyland Rides!
The 999 ghosts at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion have apparently found room for a few more residents, according to master mouse sleuth Al Lutz at MiceAge.
Disneyland visitors have routinely scattered cremated human remains throughout the haunted house ride since the late 1990s with the most recent incident occurring in the past month, MiceAge reported.
Haunted Mansion ride operators, trained to handle the delicate situation, have caught visitors via surveillance camera dumping ashes from the doom buggy vehicles but have virtually no authority to stop the bizarre ritual, Lutz said. Disneyland security and Anaheim police can do little beyond identify the powder trails as human remains. The offending mourners often slip out the ride exit and disappear into the park.
I was joking to myself while reading thinking that if I was going to be scattered anywhere in Disneyland it would be in Pirates of the Caribbean. I thought that was pretty funny, but then...
And the Haunted Mansion isn’t the only affected attraction. An impromptu funeral ceremony shut down Pirates of the Caribbean just last week while crews cleaned ashes from the Captain’s Quarters scene in the caverns section of the water ride, Lutz said.

Woo hoo. Now I'm never going to think about the Haunted Mansion the same way again, and I'm going to be watching out for ash clouds and bone fragments.

Epiphany
well, no, not really. I'm just psyched because the sweeney todd trailer came out today! woo hoo!
so i was trying to figure out what song Johnny was singing, and after many plays of the soundtrack (i just sort of let it play instead of actually looking for it) i figured out it was Epiphany. I also realized that hollywood is running out of music to play in movie trailers because the dramatic cues in the sweeney trailer were EXACTLY the same as the one in the trailer for Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End...except the sweeney one is orchestrated and not sung.
see? haha.
anyway.
Other 'Epiphanies' i've had include:
1) sometimes posts on imdb are HILARIOUS, but i can't laugh because it's 2:30am and my roommates (see previous post for a definition) are sleeping.
in response to johnny sounding like jack sparrow in the trailer: "Just think of it as a Marketing angle.
POTC 3 and a half...Jack Sparrow goes to Barber College"
"attend the TRAILER of SWEENEY TODD"
2) All college bathrooms suck.
3) I'm honored that prince is reading my blog, because my friends don't even read my blog. haha.
4) No matter how much sleep i've had or how early i wake up, i'm still up until past 1am.
5) people are really open with their drugs here. I went to the ARC with a bunch of people and practically out of our front door (well not really, but on the patio across from it), there were two big groups at the tables smoking hookahs.
6)no matter what floor you're on, outside noise always sounds like you're at ground-level and people are 5 feet from your window.
7)Despite having the appearance of being very organized, half the things in college shows would fall apart without Assistant Stage Managers and Production Assistants (because sometimes the actual Stage Manager is MIA and spacing out, or the Director is nowhere to be found.)
8) Disneyland is the only answer to the question "what do we do this weekend?" because everyone's got season passes because either they live in so-cal, or are weird nor-cal people like me and buy them just because they went two weekends in a row.
9) not having a car or a license sucks.
In response to epiphany #9, i must get some sleep because pieces are breaking off of my laptop, and the only nearby apple store is in Fashion Island, and i have to take the bus. bleh. goodnight, or in all technicality since it is 2:50am, goodmorning.
