The smell of the roasting almonds during MVMCP! I always go during christmas so everything smells like pine and cinnamon. All festive smells!

Along the lines of Rome burning in SSE, I also like the forest fire in Kali River Rapids.
For those, like me, that miss the Horizons orange smell - if the WDW Soarin is like the one in Disneyland, it has the orange smell again!

I love when this sort of stuff is brought up, since the smells of WDW are HUGE for me, haha! In no particular order:
1. Water rides - Biggest one for me hands down. I swear I get all misty eyed the first whiff I get of them on my trips.
2. Polynesian - we love this hotel (duh, look at my name) and every tropical flower me or my family smells back at home is instantly met with a wistful "Ohh, smells like the Polynesian!"
3. Rome burning - haha, I wasn't sure how many other people would note this one, though really, how can you miss it?
4. Monorail - it's not even a really *good* smell per se, (let's be honest here, haha,) but it is so instantly recognizeable and symbolic of good things that it has *become* a good smell.
5. Main Street - It's a good thing I've usually just eaten breakfast when we walk down Main Street or I'd probably put away about 7,000 calories right off the bat from walking past some of those shops.
6. Contemporary Lobby/Monorail exit - I had never even *thought* about this one before I read it in a couple of people's posts here, but it totally does have a distinct and happiness-inducing smell! Another one of my all time favorite hotels.
And many of the others that have been mentioned here before - glad to know I'm nto alone on this one, smells are a huge part of what reminds me of the happiest place I know!

Last trip I realized there is a "Ketchup/French Fries" smell that takes me to Disney... The smells in Philharmagic are the best yet!
Most of my favorite smells have already been posted, but thought I'd add my $.02 in for good measure!
Good smells:
entering the great ceremonial house at the Polynesian... reminds me of my earliest days at Disney (when a room only cost $22 per night!)
walking by Main Street Bakery- ummm... chocolate chip cookies!
the "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" outside the GF lobby during the holidays (but the chestnuts themselves are pretty disgusting!)
Not so good smells:
one of the smells that does bother me (please don't take offense because I used to like them) is the turkey legs. I was sick one trip and that's all my family wanted to eat in the parks... so that smell is associated with :hurl: !!

Most of the smells I think of have also been posted, but there's one that we always have to make a trip over to get. (And, oddly enough, it's usually the only reason why we go to Fort Wilderness.)
When I was a kid, we stayed at the Poly or Fort Wilderness when we'd go. The lobby of the polynesian instantly smells like fun and good times to me, but the smell of the gift shop / general store in Fort Wilderness takes me waaaaay back to kid times. I love it.
And yes, the AKL lobby smell.....yum.

Smelling the air as I get off the airplane at MCO.
The smell of the guest rooms.
The musty/mildew smell of Splash Mountain.
The monorail scent.
The popcorn cart as you enter Main Street.
The bakery smells that are pumped out into Main Street from the Bakery and the Confectionary. :slurp:
The obvious scent from Rome on SSE.
The smell of the air conditioning at almost any attraction.
There's a subtle (I think) scent in the boiler room at ToT.

I think the resort smells are some of the best. The Wilderness Lodge has a great woodsy smell, the Grand Floridian has a wonderful scent as well. But my all time favorite smell is the Beach Club. I don't know how to describe it, other than Beach Club Smell. It's one of the most comforting smells in the world to me.
As for in the parks, the popcorn is always enticing, but the nuts at EPCOT are by far the best smelling carts in WDW. In rides, I have to go with the Haunted Mansion. All of the sensory effects there just blow me away.

My favorite smells include the ones in Mickey's PhilarMagic and the the great burning smell in Spaceship Earth.
If we're talking out of any Disney theme park though, the orange smells in Soarin' Over California are the best.
But the best smell out of any theme park ride is that great smell in E.T. Adventure at Universal Studios Florida....oh how I love that smell!
