Whoopi Goldberg once made The Happiest Place on Earth just a little bit weirder.

The View co-host was promoting The Change, a new graphic novel, on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Wednesday when, after decreeing that no one should do this, she told the story of scattering her mothers ashes from a boat on the Its a Small World ride at Disneyland .

My mother loved Disneyland, so we took her to Disneyland, she told Meyers . And when I was a kid, the Worlds Fair was here, and it was the introduction of Small World and she loved Small World. So in the Small World ride, periodically, Id scoop some of her up.

And Id do this, Goldberg added, mimicking a fake sneeze she used to scatter her mothers remains. I said, My God, this cold is getting worse and worse! And then we got over to the flowers where it says Disneyland, and I was like, Oh, look at that, and scattered the rest.

The EGOT winner eventually notified the park when she realized scattering human remains in a public body of water could be dangerous. Goldberg isnt the first to use these resorts as a burial ground, however.

Managers at Disney theme parks in Orlando, Florida, and Anaheim, California, reportedly have a dedicated code for the situation (HEPA cleanup) and have retrieved cremated remains from bushes, lawns and rides including The Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland.

The Haunted Mansion probably has so much human ashes in it that its not even funny, one Disneyland custodian told The Wall Street Journal in 2018 .
