Tombstone Tuesday ~ Seen at Disneyland, Anaheim, California

Just for fun, we photographed these funny tombstones seen at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.  We thought you'd enjoy the puns and bad jokes...

This first bunch is from the pet cemetery behind the Haunted Mansion ride.

(the long squiggly inscription)
Here lies my snake whose fatal mistake was frightening the gardener who carried a rake

Did you know there was a second cemetery at Disneyland?
It's located behind Fort Wilderness on Tom Sawyer's island, a short boat ride across the river from New Orleans Square.  This wooden stockade fort has been closed for many years, and serves as a staging area for the nightly fireworks show.  It used to feature stairs and ladders to the ramparts, and re-created a frontier era outpost dating from the days of Davy Crockett.  It looks very authentic, except for the two rubbish bins next to the fort gate!
