Favorite Smells at WDW

[mac_connell]

One of my favorite things is when I'm not in Disney and I smell that something that brings back memories of WDW, so I thought it'd be fun if we told our favorite smells at Disney! These are my top 5!

5) The burning library in Spaceship Earth
4) The Alien scene in GMR
3) Churros
2)The orange fields from Soarin'
1) the water on any water ride, it's weird but there's something about the water smell in WDW that I love!

What are yours?!

The smell of the queue/loading area at SSE. Once I get a whiff of that, it finally hits me that I'm in Disney World.

 

[sophie_the_pooh]

That special smell when you walk down Main Street, like popcorn, ice cream and cookie dough!

Second hand smoke. Honestly. Not being around smokers much as a child, I associated the smell with Disney World as you used to find it there a lot. May have even led to me picking up the habit later in life. (I've since quit).

I get why it needs to go, but I can't help but miss it as I walk through the parks these days and even try to stray towards smoking areas when I can to recapture it.

I know. I'm weird.

The beach club. I just love the smell of that resort. Whenever I find a candle or air freshener that reminds me of that smell I have to buy it.

the vapours from my tequila flight

Everthing Pop has a distinct mix of food and other things and it's the first Disney scent that I encounter on my trip!

 

[Megbutnotmegan]

This is probably gross but my first ride is always pirates so I think the dirty FL water smell there might be my favorite...

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

The smells that permeate from the entrances to The Haunted Mansion, Spaceship Earth, Tower of Terror, etc. It is a unique Disney building smell not as commonly encountered at Disneyland. Walt Disney World is loaded with it, however.

 

[John Stamos]

All of Disney smells nice. It just does.

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

You spelled vapors like an idiot.

The word you bastardised is spelt. Twonk.

 

[Tom]

Disney air conditioning.

Disney attraction water.

Popcorn in the MK.

World Showcase and DHS around dinner time. All the distinct restaurant smells.

 

[awheartsdw]

Definitely the lobby at The Contemporary. Popcorn, anywhere. Confectionary on Main Street. Pirates, IASW, Soarin' (especially the orange groves).

 

[Cubfan300]

For some reason, this year the predominate scent for me was popcorn. Caught me by surprise a couple of times.

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

Main Street USA in Magic Kingdom
Popcorn from the popcorn carts

 

[mouse_luv]

Rome Burning on SSE as well as the entrance smell. (Actually, when I was there earlier in the month it was so empty in Future World that you could smell Rome Burning just walking by SSE).
The Foyer of HM
The Cinnamon Bun, Waffle Cone, and Popcorn smell on Main Street USA in MK.
Water smell on Pirates
The pastry shop in France in WS/EPCOT.
Monorails.

For some reason EPCOT is always our first park and SSE our first ride. It's not a tradition per sae but just always happens that way. That smell of the ride that washes over you from the escaping air conditioning when you get to the mural part of the queue right before entering the building is one of the most quintessentially Disney smells I can think of.

 

[Blackburn23]

1 - Columbia Harbour house entrance when the air conditioner hits u with the smells of fried fish and chicken

2 - It's a Small World, must be the water but its distinct

3 - the Boardwalk and the smell of funnel cakes and popcorn as you walk around

4 -your resort Roma's soon as you return after a day

5 - Queue for POTC, something about the rustic smell

 

[Matt_Black]

The smell of the glazed almonds. *SIGH*
