Favorite smell at Walt Disney World

[P_Radden]

That smell is actually lithium grease...and yes, it is one of my favorites as well!

We always notice the good ol "WDW" smell as we call it. The scent of all the mechanics in any dark ride: Great Movie Ride, Grand Fiesta Tour, SSE, any of them, they all have it... Something about being on a dark ride at WDW and smelling that timeless scent.. I always associated it with the animatronics or ride mechanics....Is it the lithium grease??

The lobby at OKW.....mmm...smells like coconuts

It either has to be the smell coming from the Ice Cream Parlor on MS, or the nuts from the carts.

Glazed pecans and roasted chestnuts around the holidays!! There is a roasted chestnut cart next to the monorail station at GF and it makes me want to wait for the monorail all day

I love the smell when you approach the front of the main building at the Polynesian. It is a combination of the water and the flowers/plants. Also a similar smell when you enter the Polynesian main building.

Also, while the smell is not very good, the moldy damp smell of the air conditioning units on the MCO airport train that takes you from the terminal to Baggage Claim lets me know that I am about to begin my Disney adventure,which makes the normally bad smell seem great.

Burning Rome in SSE
Orange Groves in Soarin'
Walking by Flame Tree BBQ
Apple Pie in PhilharMagic

 

[mishel635]

Beach Club Lobby
Karmel Kuche in Germany
Pirates
The forest in Soarin'

In that order.
There was no way I could narrow it down!

Has to be the cinnamon buns and once again the apple pie in Philharmagic.

BC lobby and popcorn in the MK.

Yup, I second this ! Finally found a candle at Yankee Candles that mimics BC lobby smell...

Which candle is it?

What is the scent of AK lobby? I don't recall a smell at all I feel like I'm missing out.

It's a very faint, sweet/smoky smell.

 

[Jim Buck]

All smells of the Wilderness Lodge from the trees to the lobby. I miss my home!

 

[blueboxdoctor]

It was the main lobby of the Polynesian when the waterfall was still there (probably was just the chemicals used in the water), but now that it's gone and replaced some some boring things, I don't know what my current answer would be.

The White Tea fragrance used in both of the Swan and Dolphin lobbies! FYI this is the fragrance that they use: https://www.westinstore.com/category.aspx?White-Tea-Home-Fragrance

The most wonderful smell at WDW is when I am in line on a hot day waiting for a ride and the person in front of me forgot to shower and/or use a little thing I like to call deodorant. Better than that fresh cookie smell that they pump out.

And yes, the above has happened......unfortunately.

...sorry, I needed to get to Rope Drop

 

[Heffalump333]

Simple, just the smell of WDW in general. When I go there you just feel special. Anywhere in Orlando smells AWESOME!

My favorite is the smell that hits you as soon as you step inside the Haunted Mansion. It's kind of a musty orange smell, not unlike the scent of the "Blushing Orange" Disney hotel room shampoo, and to my nose, it's been the same smell since my first visit in 1982. One whiff, and I feel like an over-excited kid again!

 

[BoarderPhreak]

The musty water mist of Jungle Cruise and PotC (and others), the lobby of the Swalphin (I got the White Tea candle and travel set for Christmas, w00t), the oranges of Horizons and Soarin', the burning of Rome in SSE... Of course, Main Street USA in general. The Geir Ness cologne in Norway's gift shop (picked up a bottle last summer, niiiice).

 

[Soarin2u]

The smell of the Corondo Springs Lobby and the busses when the AC is heavy.

 

[Rescue Ranger]

Grand Floridian and probably the smell of POTC, nostalgic reasons.
