Here’s Why Ariana Grande’s Mother Can’t Have Her Ashes Spread at Cinderella Castle
During her appearance on the ‘Las Culturistas’ podcast on Wednesday, November 6, the «Wicked» actress disclosed her mother Joan’s desire to spend eternity in Disney World.
Joan, Ariana Grande’s Disney-loving mother, has made an odd request.

The 31-year-old Wicked actress spoke out about one of her mother’s greatest desires on Wednesday, November 6, when she appeared on the Las Culturistas podcast, which is hosted by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers.
Grande then talks about how her mother keeps telling her and her brother Frankie Grande that they must scatter her ashes in the theme park in Florida as the three of them talk about iconic attractions at Disneyland and Disney World.

«With regard to Florida. «First of all, we have Cinderella’s Castle at the Disney in Florida,» Grande says. It is also a landmark, you know.
“All too often, my mom tells us that she wants her ashes sprinkled over it,” she adds. «Mom, it’s Christmas,» I say. Do we need to discuss this at this time?

She responds, «Yeah.» You must see to it that that occurs.
Grande, who is now promoting the first installment of her much awaited movie Wicked, which opens on November 22, remembers her reaction to her mother’s question: «I’m like, ‘Mom, I don’t wanna make sure that that happens.'»

She also highlights a pretty serious problem that she believes her mother’s plan will cause.
«I believe that actors are working back there. She joked that you will be sprayed on the heads of those who are waiting for their cue while costumed as Tinker Bell.
Absolutely. Yang continues, «There’s like a hotel room in there,» alluding to the upscale Cinderella Castle Suite.

Grande says, «I’ve been in there because I got to change in there when I performed at the castle once, which was really cool.» «It feels very real and is really beautiful.»
Unfortunately, as it is against the law to scatter a loved one’s ashes in Disney theme parks, the Grammy winner’s mother’s dream will never come true.

According to WSJ, if ashes are found on an attraction, the ride must be shut down due to «technical difficulties,» and a manager must inspect the ride by themselves to find any ashes.
