Had an aunt Sandi who watched me one weekend and we stayed up late watching movies all the time. On the day my parents came back she had a bunch of empty beer cans spread out (she dumbed them into some bottles cus she didn't intend to drink) filled ashtrays with cigarettes (most of my family smokes like chimneys) and gave me some fake tattoos which looked as realistic as the could. So my parents came home, I was laying on the floor with a couple tattoos on my arm and a beer can in one hand and an ashtray next to me. My parents walked into that and said "Nice try, Sandi. Clean it up." So anyways that was a failed attempt.
It always confused me why The Haunted Mansion is all like “come back when you’re dead” but are super against people pouring ashes on the ride - like DONT ADVERTISE IT
I think people could sprinkle their loved ones ashes at Disneyland or World if they weren't so obvious about it! Besides, you don't need to dump the whole urn. A pinch will do!
My favorite part of Disneyland (being a season ticket holder for years) was being dragged there after my 5th miscarriage. I gave the stink eye to all the pregnant ladies in line with me. i know, wrong. Happiest Place on Earth? Not always! I can just manage to smile about it now.
Keep in mind this was in a time when doctors would smoke during a consultation and not too long after Coca-Cola stopped putting cocaine in their drink.
Fun fact: Ursula is kinda truly a Queen. A Drag Queen. She was based off Divine, who played the mother Edna in the original Hairspray movie in 1988 (also the rival TV station owner).
ok but that snow white impression was PERFECT. Also it sounds like whoever hates "childless women" is immensely jealous that we can enjoy ourselves without having to wipe baby bottoms. You shouldn't take toddlers to Disney anyway they don't have long attention spans so lines are miserable for them, its super expensive, and they end up forgetting it because they are too young. Wait until they can appreciate it and handle the long lines.
Yeah...that mom's post made my blood boil. And as a child that went to Disney at age 3, was scared by Minnie Mouse, and has... 3-4 flash memories, that being the most memorable...yeah. Wait till the kid is older. I understand the experience the person was trying to give us but.... Yeah. Anyone in mascot uniforms scares me, even if I know them . I honestly don't know if I could handle going to a park again, no matter the theme. I don't like interacting with them (yes, I understand it's their job).. But I also am not a fan of live acting for myself, it just makes me so uncomfortable so no reenactment or LARPing for me.
Good to know that I'm not the only one who saw that Ursula wasn't the villain in that particular story. Basically, Ariel got her unfaithful sort-of boyfriend to assassinate Ursula to avoid her contractual obligations. Amazing how the heir to the throne didn't know to consult an Atlantis-attorney before signing anything; and Ursula laid out the conditions very clearly to her.
@@savanaerie Maybe because she wasn't the heir to the throne she was the youngest of seven daughters. The youngest daughter who couldn't show up to a concert, at the beginning of the movie, which was suppose to be her musical debut letting down her sisters and the whole kingdom that came to watch it all so she could go to a shipwreck. So she has been shown to have done things in her own selfish interest before.
When I was in college, I had to do the entire Poor Unfortunate Souls in a series of Disney Rift Offs during a game night. It was fun, But, crazy. I even had to do Ariel's part.
Hey, thanks to cell phones (or morons...I'm not sure), there are more death trains. There's actually a law of averages for this now. Just start texting and walking and eventually a train will sneak up on you and kill you. Apparently this is a thing.
Neil Gaiman wrote a version of Snow White where she's this undead creature creeping around the castle, the stepmother is trying to keep her under control, and a prince with a necrophilia fetish shows up. It's...super creepy.
I mean Sleeping Beauty was based on a story about the prince having sex with the sleeping princess for her to only wake up with her babies on her lap Little Mermaid was based from the book where Ariel was killed by the Prince and got eaten because - sis is a fish
I only visited Disney world as an adult ( with my three kids) and I was left with the impression that kids can not really even appreciate the level of detail that has gone into everything there. I was in awe of many things that my kids didn’t even notice or weren’t that impressed with. Their ages ranged from 6 to 12 when we went. I hate how corporate and greedy Disney is. But you have to give credit to those imagineers. 🤷🏻♀️
"We get it, Karen, you regret having children and you're trapped in a loveless marriage. See a therapist instead of bashing people who are happier than you on Facebook."
It's amazing how standards change over time. The skeleton dance is super tame and not even a little scary by today's standards, but apparently back then it had people clutching their pearls!
I didn’t think my curiosity for death and morbid things was acceptable. I can now see that it is a normal thing that other people have too. Your channel made me feel less anxiety about the whole thing ❤️
M K I don’t think so. Disneyland and Disney world are the best!!! I have 9 Mickey Mouse tattoos. My Christmas tree is 7ft tall and I had enough Mickey Mouse ornaments to cover my whole tree...
Before I read it properly from start to finish I thought maybe "the slutty millennial" did something slightly rude and the mom overreacted but no she just didn't want to stand in line! XD WTF!
PX Xaver She didn’t just want to stand in line, she had the AUDACITY to be at the front of the line just as Mommy was passing by with Baby. Baby saw that trollop flouncing about with a pretzel and wanted one, too. How dare that millenial exist in the proximity of a holy mother and child?
I paused it to read the whole post and couldn't help but blink and say "WOOOOW!" at several points. I mean, to say that you "fucking hate childless women with a BURNING PASSION!!!!" speaks to some serious mental health problems...geez
The last time I went to Disney World I was 20 and parents were more than happy to let me entertain their kids for them in ride lines! I had a tiny Tiana playing with my curls for 20 minutes straight in the line for The Haunted Mansion. THEN she wanted to get in my doom buggy instead of riding with her mom. She's lucky she was so cute!
pooh is a creation of AA Milne 1926 Disney made stupid cartoon characterizations of wonderful original drawings by Earnest Shepherd who also did the original artwork in The Wind In The Willows so long ago
Another fact about Walt Disney - He LOVED trains. As someone who shares that passion, it's a well known fact to me that the only reason Disneyland exists at all is because Walt wanted to build a railroad, but it needed to have a purpose. Thus, the amusement park was born around the railroad. Notice how you'd be hard pressed to find a Disney park without a train to take you around the park...
Because if you look at it from a modern perspective, it's basically G-rated tame. I'm pretty sure a modern horror-themed Halloween costume would have incited mass panic in that era. Depictions of death imagery were rare and saved for places like graveyards. To them, it was extremely macabre. To us, it's laughably tame.
As TaelaDragonfox puts it, the standards by which maturity was judged have changed considerably, over the years. At some point in the latter half of the 19th century or first half of the 20th, up to the middle of the 20th century (i.e., the 1950's), American culture underwent a fad of "cleansing" itself. Until then, all things morbid were rather casually depicted throughout the world. Heck, hanged criminals were left on gibbets, as a symbol of justice, and epic poems are the oldest form of surviving literature. Ancient Greeks grew up on Odysseus graphically blinding Polyphemus, Anglo-Saxons grew up on Beowulf violently disarming Grendel, etc. Some people seem to assume that the standards of 1950's America were common throughout history, or the rest of the world. That's clearly not the case. As a species, we've constantly embraced things that are overtly terrible.
When you said "Sleeping Beauty's castle almost caught on fire from a gas leak" I laughed and when Maleficent started laughing I realized I sounded like her and laughed harder 😂
Sounds like a mother with a vendetta against childless woman, and not because the go to DW, but because she’s not childless and worry free 🤣 I’m a mother of 2 (14yo & 7yo), yes it’s stressful but why be nasty about others who don’t have to deal with the same stresses 🙈 definitely cracks me up as the post smells of jealousy 😅🤣
@@cherrie8386 That and it also seems like she wants everything for free just because she has a child. 😂😂 The last line killed me though; along the lines of "You dont know what its like to have an exhausted 3 year old." Yeah...there's a reason for that too.
When I went to Disneyland with my parents in 1963, I remember when I saw a kid kick Goofy in the leg. And then Goofy kicked the kid back. That was scary for a 4 year old to see. And then we went to Knott's Berry Farm, and we went on the train ride that ran through a mining tunnel. Then some rumbling noise started and the announcer said, "It sound like there's going to be a cave in !!! And I yelled, "We're all going to die together !!!" California is a scary place.
That childless rant is hilarious. That women is just plain miserable in general. It has nothing to do with her child or the chick with the pretzel. She's of child bearing age she's a millennial too lol what's wrong with people.
@@andrewyoung2796 Thank you for your insight on an opinion. You are right, I am not completely free. I must still pay taxes and inevitably, I am bound to the natural laws of death. However, I am without children and, given the speed at which we as a society have learned to communicate and the diminishing of attention spans, calling myself a Person Without Children is too long, so Free it is. As a person completely independent of myself and not being members of the Borg Collective, you are more than welcome to identify yourself and others as you see fit. I, as a Childfree person, will continue to identify as Childfree.
“That fox in Fox and the Hound” 😂 About 10 years ago the park was closed at around 1030am bc they had reached max capacity. I was there. It was crowded but the crazy part was it still, ran like clock work. 🤷🏻♀️
I read your comment too quickly, it said raise your hand if you're a headless heathen..so I raised my hand and laughed! Wait a minute, how can I laugh if I don't have a head? Oh bother
"Snowwhite is about necrophilia" Oop--😂 Also, your friend is adorable!! She is so excited to be there eventhough she must have gone there like a 1000 times!! It's super cute, aw!
I went to Disneyworld as a childless 25 year old and I had the most amazing time. I’m from Australia so it was definitely a dream I thought I’d never have.
I went to Disney every year as a child until I was... 11/12, I think? And have been just a handful of times or so since I’ve become an adult. The adult trips have been far, far better than the kid trips. Everything was better and easier so I was able to enjoy it more. Honestly, Disney was fun as a kid but very frustrating and extremely exhausting so I always ended up a grumpy (& typically crying from exhaustion) mess by the end (all those miles of walking and hours of standing in lines are so, so tough on little kid legs! Adult me is able to endure it with ease, even at Disney world which was torturous as a kid). I felt so out of control and scared as a kid in the park because of the crowds and being small. Its really scary when you’re squeezed through thick crowds by a death grip on your hand and because you’re small, all you see are people’s butts everywhere at your eyeline... like a sea of faceless people pushing at you in every direction. It all feels very disorienting and scary, like you’re going to get lost and never found. I felt very anxious and panicked the majority of the time I spent as a kid there because of that kinda stuff. that’s really improved by being an adult. Also it rocks having your own money to spend on food and any silly merch you want instead of trying to beg your parents for it lol The only thing that’s better as a kid are character meets... it feels like magic as a kid but it’s pretty awkward as an adult ngl lmao
i mean not as if some of us were disastrously, mentally-scarringly destitute as children, right? why should our situation or happiness improve as adults, we ought to kowtow to the middle class karen and her ugly children and not subject them to our presence/s
Lady or sir can't find the comment on here again...said their grandfather made the cake for the opening!!! Wow...you two could trade memories what it was like in your family at that moment
It is a solar myth Snow White represents Virgo the Virgin the Prince is a solar archetype. When Snow White goes into a coma like sleep it represents winter and the Prince kisses her the sun she awakens and all of nature blooms with her. And in an agrarian aware society having the sun copulat with the sleeping earth would not be the same type of social faux paux it does today. Bback in th8se days farmer Brown would go offwith his wife to copulat in the fields to guareentee a fruitful year. Most if not all of Disney's characters are based on astrological arhetypes. I have cracked his code and I can tell you that the guy was an occultic genius. Snow White Virgo the Virgin but here is another one Dumbo who is a baby male elephant who grows into a Bull elephant Taurus. Pluto name of a planet this planet symbolizes Scorpio hidden in plain sight.
Luke gervais And the original Sleeping Beauty story is about a king having his way with an unconscious girl and getting her pregnant with twins. And his queen tried to make their cook feed the children to him because he had screwed another woman. For real. Google ”Sun, Moon and Talia” if you don’t believe me.
Marah Baker that status made me laugh. Like sorry my BC works lmao. The projection of her own resentment towards being a mother onto childless women is intense. It also makes my heart go out to the women in this world who want nothing more than to be a mother, but can’t for whatever reason.
It bothers me because it's more female on female hate. And srsly she needs to calm tf down. You chose this path. You chose the kid. Fun or not, deal with it. Don't hate because someone else is enjoying their different path more
A cool side note is that early Disney movies used windows layered on top of each other with scenery painted on them to give depth to the background, almost like those flat boards used in stage productions, the windows would be moved at different rates to simulate distant objects seeming to move more slowly or clouds moving. The layer with the characters on it would be the brightest (and most often changed out) which is why old disney movies have objects the characters interact with seeming brighter than the surroundings.
I thought childless just meant that a person may want children in the future, while Childfree were people who weren't interested in children at all. I myself am Childfree, because I don't have any maternal instincts at all.
Hunter Jaeger that’s what it means now, but childless also means people who want kids but can’t. It used to be that childless meant a couple with no kids.
I'm probably too old to go to mortuary school, but my nephew is enrolled and loves it! He already has a part-time job in the mortuary in the tiny town he lives in! He does online 4 days a week and one day a week he goes into the city for class on campus.
Oh my God that post had me dying! 😂😂😂Not to mention whoever wrote that post wrote it at 1 in the morning...i am a childless woman amd i have to say i am super offended! ( jk)
Diamonds Are Forever I work at one of the stores so idk about the parks but I personally love it so far but like with any big company, it will get stressful. Disney stores and parks get a ton of guests so it is overwhelming but if you love the brand, you can definitely have fun with it 💕
My sister and her husband have vacationed at Disney World every year for the past 28 years. If you ever suggest they might enjoy someplace else, they look at you like _you're_ crazy!
I got the notification and i was like "oh a random notification whatever" then i realized it was Ask A Mortician and i was like REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FINALLY ANOTHER VIDEO
Jan '21: ten months and counting. Lots of unemployed furries. And more death than even Uncle Walt could have quantified. The Skeleton Dance slayed me as a child. Figuratively. It still does. My thanks to Caitlin for including the snippet. Love the skeleton using his own skull as a percussion instrument. In the 1980s there was a noise group called Metgumbnerbone who used only human skulls and bones to make music, sourced from a charnel house. Lots of layered percussion, flutes high and low. I wonder if they ever watched the Skeleton Dance.
Random question: I work in a hospital and when someone dies on the ward we have some superstitions that seem to be universal regardless of belief or religion (within healthcare anyway.) For example the very first thing you do is open a window "to let the spirit out" another is after you have completed last offices on the body, when they are being wrapped in a flat sheet you need use 7 bits of tape to secure it. No more and no less " 7 steps to heaven." Is there anything similar in the funeral industry, anything everyone does regardless of personal beliefs? Edit: correcting wording.
I work in LTC in ON Canada ..we too open the window ..I never knew it was a universal thing tho and I've never heard of the 7 pieces of tape we get strings but I'll be using 7 from now on ☮️♥️
Adele Irvine I work in the United States and most hospitals I have been in don’t even have windows that open. One thing I’ve heard, but never did, was tying a knot in the sheets so the person didn’t pass away. I think they thought it would trap the soul? I’m not sure where that one came from.
This is the perfect video to watch on the day that Disney Plus premieres ❤️ My 2 year old is watching Cars and I’m all excited for a new Ask A Mortician video. Thanks girl!!!
8:30 WTF what a rude mother lol. I love Disneyland and I'm a childless 30 something. The magic is for all ages. Plus it doesn't sound like she enjoyed her time at Disneyland at all!
It’s been a bit of a myth, that his mothers death triggered his “no-mum” stance, but there’d already been an established pattern of his movies protagonists with dead or absent parents, before his mother died. He wasn’t doing original children’s tales, and it’s kind of hard to find traditional fairytales WITH mothers still alive
Katherine Tutschek Well, with tradition fairytales, they’re coming of age stories, and the absence of one (or both) parent, forces them out into the world to learn the lessons necessary lessons to overcome adversity, and to succeed or fail on their own, and they couldn’t or wouldn’t have had to take these steps if they still had the benefit of a maternal protection and care. Motherless was drives them and the plot, basically.
It was very common for women to die in childbirth, so not having a mother and/or having a stepmother was something a lot of children would relate to when most of the fairy tales Disney has covered originated. They were also pretty gruesome and definitely didn't shield children from the realities of violence and death like Disney's versions do (although some like Bambi do explore that to some extent).
