Remembering man's best friends

In the early 1980s, Disneyland added a pet cemetery to its rarely-seen side lawn (a portion of the attraction that is typically only seen by guests that leave the attraction before boarding the Doom Buggies.

The addition was the idea of Imagineer Kim Irvine, and she created the scene with off-the-shelf statuary, personalized with empathetic inscriptions written by WDI's Chris Goosman.

Proving popular with the guests lucky enough to discover it, WDI decided to create a full-blown new pet cemetery to install in the front yard of the Mansion.

This version of the cemetery (installed in 1993) adds a slight touch of humor to the queue as well.

Beastly Rememberances

Following are the inscriptions on the stones in the current pet cemetery planted amidst the wrapping queue at Disneyland. Some of the markers are simply in the form of the animal they represent, with either no inscription, or simply a date.
