Do you miss the smell of WDW?

I miss the smell of that morning air when you first step outside your resort room. It's sweet, kinda dewy, and oh-so invigorating. I take big deep breaths and close by eyes on a warm morning at home. It's not quite the same!

The Splash Mountain queue line has such a great smell to it once you get inside the cave leading to the loading area.
Also I love the smell of the Tower of Terror lobby and boiler room!
Finally the TTA has some nice smells going from indoors to outdoors near Space Mountain. Mmm, yall got me missing WDW now!!

This, especially in the Summer.

I'm around buses every day at work, but I walked behind an idling bus last week (the engine... I wasn't huffing exhaust!), and it just snapped into my brain: it smelled like a Disney bus! Then I thought, "Man, I have a problem!"

I love the smell of the queue and loading area of Spaceship Earth. I love the smell of the water on Splash Mountain and other boat rides.

(A smell I don't like so much is other people in the Florida heat o.o)

You can get a lot of similar scents here: http://enviroscent.com/scenthd This is the consumer facing side of Scentair, which is the company that provides most of the scents you smell in the parks and resorts.

I do miss some of the aromas from WDW, so I too break out the H2O shampoo. It actually smells much better at home because there is none of that go awful sulfur smell in our water, unlike the water at WDW. One would think for 350-500 a night at a Deluxe resort they could filter that out.

Ha, I live in Orlando, a half hour from Disney grounds, and at night, our water does smell like sulfur! I drink a lot of water at night while surfing Facebook. Fortunately, I have a bad sense of smell, and the water seems just as good as it does during the day if I make sure not to sniff it.

Yes! I do love the smells of WDW. I get this a lot. You know, funny thing, every time I cut a pineapple up and feed it to our kids I always "go back" to our vacations (pre-kids) in the Caribbean. Whether it is Cuba or Dominican, it automatically takes me back there. I don't know if it was just all of the fresh fruit around or the Pina coladas or if I just associate it with those vacations, but either way it takes me back.

WDW has that same thing with me. The water - yes water - at places like Pirates or Small World has a smell to it. What is it? I don't know and can't place it. But it's there. Splash Mountain too. Am I insane or does the water actually have a damp smell to it? Yeah, yeah I know, water being "damp" of all things, big surprise. But if it ever rains I never get that same smell as on those rides.

Main Street has a smell to it as well. I guess you can sort of get that same sort of smell at a ball game but it's different. At a ball game you have the smell of hot dogs blended in and Main Street is just a popcorn and cotton candy type of smell. Again, very hard to place but if I go to a local carnival or fair I sort of get it there.

We were in Washington, D.C. on spring break this year. More than once, DD said that it smelled like WDW!

I work in D.C. ......well.....I am Federal employee and can't really say, "I work".....I am employed in D.C. I don't smell anything WDW related. That being said, when I am there, I do smell the different things that were mentioned here.

I still really miss the smell in the queue for Space Mountain.

YES. How can we replicate this smell?

We just got our ScentHD machine and green clover & aloe cartridge yesterday!! My house smells like The Contemporary!!!! (The only downside is when I open my eyes and I'm not in the lobby.)

My MIL got me a sample pack of "disney smells" for Christmas from Spireside on etsy. Since then I have bought several more and my husband got me the scenty wax version of some of the smells for valentines day! Love them all so far, main street bakery was heaven in the winter. Also really like the "be our guest" smell.

My husband and I frequently have "disney moments", where you smell something or see something that instantly takes you back to a spot at disney. He went a ton as a kid, and always smells the lobby of the All-star resorts. Chlorine and fresh sheets. My biggest thing is, after a long winter here in Nebraska... the first warm sunny day in the spring, while I am walking into work (long trek from our parking lot to my office) there is a tiny breeze but still you can feel the heat, I think of walking from our room to the main building of CSR to get a mug full of coca cola, then standing at the bus stop watching a cast member draw a mickey head with the wet broom (or however they do that!).
