The Hollywood star and media personality Whoopi Goldberg shocked her fans by revealing that she blew her mother’s ashes into the water on the classic “It’s a Small World” ride at Disneyland.

Goldberg Spread Mom’s Ashes On Disneyland Ride

While being interviewed on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday, Goldberg stunned everyone by revealing that she and her late brother, Clyde, spread her mother’s ashes inside the popular Disneyland ride shortly after she died in 2010.

“No one should do this. Don’t do it,” cautioned Goldberg, 68.

“She loved Small World,” she continued. “So, in the Small World ride, periodically, I’d scoop some of her up and I’d do this poof, and 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! Poof.’”

Goldberg ultimately decided to tell Disneyland officials what she’d done.

“I told them I did it,” she admitted. “I wanted to make sure, actually, that I hadn’t done something that was dangerous, because it hadn’t occurred to me. But there’s a reason they don’t want ashes just floating around.”

Well, at least she was honest about it!

Goldberg’s Previous Comments On This

Goldberg had previously talked about spreading her mother’s ashes in her memoir “Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, And Me,” which came out in May.

“It was her vision of what human beings should be, these children of the world: all colors, religions, and cultures together,” Goldberg wrote. “Disney had made it seem possible that all the kids of the world would hold hands in unity.”

“The day Clyde and I took her ashes to Disneyland, it’s possible a lot of her went into the Small World ride, her favorite. We were subtle about it, kind of sneezing Ma out here and there when no one was looking,” she added. “We didn’t get caught, but I confessed it later to a park employee. They weren’t surprised, and they certainly were not happy about it.”

Walt Disney himself designed the It’s A Small World ride for the 1964 World’s Fair. It was then moved to a permanent structure at Disneyland in 1966.

Goldberg Wants To Be Cremated

Last year, Goldberg revealed on her ABC talk show The View that she also wants to be cremated. She believes that her remains will then be “dust in the wind.”

“I’m going to be going around the world, I’m going to be everywhere. I might be in your backyard – I don’t know,” Goldberg said. “I don’t want people to feel obligated to come to the cemetery. If you want to remember me, remember me.”

As for how she wants to be portrayed after her death, Goldberg replied, “I don’t want to be a hologram. That’s been in my will for 15 years.”

Thankfully, Goldberg appears to be in good health, so hopefully she won’t need to worry about that for many years to come!
