Disneyworld has a big secret.
Its actually got a few secrets, but this particular secret is definitely one of the creepiest.
Up until now, this secret was nothing more than a rumour.
But it turns out, Disneyworld employees actually have a protocol for dealing with this strange
practice, and I’m going to tell you what it is, right now on IO.
Welcome back to inform overload I’m charlotte dobre and on this channel, we tell you about
the most interesting news stories that we find on the internet, and make them more entertaining,
where appropriate.

Before I get into this video, tell me in those comments what your favourite urban legend
is.
Disneyworld and Disneyland are pretty special places, there’s no doubt about that.
They don’t call it the happiest place on earth for nothing.
I’ve even seen a couple get engaged in front of cinderellas castle.
People get married at Disneyworld and of course they celebrate birthdays there.
But because Disney is so sentimental, that sentimentality can turn to emotional grief
real quick.
There’s this strange urban legend about Disneyworld that involves people scattering
the remains of their deceased loved ones all over the park.
And that urban legend has just been confirmed to be fact by the wall street journal.
the employees of Disneyworld have secret words to deal with it when it happens.
So for example, When a manager radios for a Code V cleanup, it means someones thrown
up.
Code u means someone has peed somewhere in the park.
That’s so weird.
Like I can see a little kid maybe peeing somewhere in Disneyland but a grown adult?
That’s weird.
But the code that’s used for cleaning up ashes is the HEPA cleanup.
Whenever someone sends out a radio call for an HEPA cleanup, it means that a park visitor
has scattered ashes somewhere in the park and someone needs to go suck them up with
a vacuum.
This goes for both Disneyworld and Disneyland.
I cant believe that this is that common that Disney actually has a codeword and an entire
process for cleaning up ashes.
It reportedly happens about once a month.
People smuggle them in in pill bottles and makeup compacts.
Also, sidenote, do they shut down the ride to clean up ashes?
Because that would explain a lot.
Listen I know this story is a little bit sad and I’m not trying to be disrespectful at
all but I cant help but ask these questions.
I am very curious, and I’m assuming you are too.
After a little more reading, I discovered that apparently rides do get shut down entirely
when ashes need to be cleaned up, but the real reason is never revealed.
So the next time Indiana jones is shut down due to technical difficulties, it might actually
be shut down for a cleanup.
According to Disney custodians, identifying and vacuuming up human ashes is a signature
and secret part of working there.
I mean, they do have to keep up appearances and they can’t just have human ashes lying
all over the park.
Cremated human remains have been put in flower beds, and bushes on lawns, on pirates of the
carribean, and underneath the flying elephants on the dumbo ride.
But the ride that seems to be the recent favourite for people to leave ashes is on the haunted
mansion ride.
One Disneyland custodian said that the haunted mansion probably has so much human ashes in
it that it’s not even funny.
Well the haunted mansion just got way more morbid didn’t it.
The idea of sprinking your loved ones ashes at Disneyworld might be cryptic and creepy
for some, especially since Disneyland is supposed to be the happiest place on earth, but it
actually makes sense for a lot of people who have lost loved ones.
Like for Jodie Jackson wells.
In 2009, she smuggled a pill bottle containing her mother’s ashes into Disneyworld.
According to Jodie, anyone who knew her mother, knew that Disney was her happy place.
So she spread her mothers ashes on the platform of it’s a small world near a head spinning
bird, which apparently is a part of the it’s a small world ride that always made her mother
laugh.
Later that day, Jodie wells felt so overcome with grief from the loss of her mother that
she also hopped over the barricade around cinderellas castle and ran around the grass
flinging ashes around.
I will wrap up this video by saying that this is by no means allowed.
A Disney spokeswoman said that this type of behaviour is strictly prohibited and unlawful,
and if you attempt it, you will be escorted off the property.
Disney goes to a lot of lengths to remove any sort of morbid thoughts or messages from
their park.
For example, back in 1994 they introduced this thing where you can buy and install a
personalized brick, and you can’t actually use the words ‘in memory of’ because Disney
was worried that the words would remind people of death.
