we’re diving into an unexpected, funny, and slightly spooky story straight from the Grande family! Ariana Grande recently opened up about a very special request her mom, Joan, has made. And trust us, this one’s a bit out there!
In a recent chat on the Las Culturistas podcast, Ariana shared her mom’s unusual final wish – to have her ashes spread across none other than Cinderella's Castle at Disney World in Florida! Can you imagine? Joan, a huge Disney fan, has even mentioned this to Ariana and her brother Frankie countless times! And it’s always at the most random moments, like during family holiday gatherings!
Imagine Ariana’s reaction when she first heard it! She joked that if it happened, Disney cast members dressed as Tinker Bell might get an unexpected dusting of 'pixie' dust! But unfortunately, there's a little hitch in Joan's plan. Spreading ashes at Disney is actually illegal. That’s right – Disney has a strict 'no ashes' rule. In fact, if ashes are suspected, staff call it a 'HEPA cleanup,' where ultra-fine vacuums are used to gather up any remains.
But believe it or not, some Disney superfans still attempt it. Spots like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, the Haunted Mansion, and even the Dumbo ride are common choices! According to Disney staff, the Haunted Mansion might actually contain a bit of ash from all over.
Ariana’s got a busy schedule with the upcoming release of Wicked on November 22, but even with everything going on, this memorable request from her mom clearly gave her a good laugh. What do you think – would you want your final resting place to be in the happiest place on Earth?
