Favorite smell at Walt Disney World

[mergatroid]

The Candy Cauldron

I always go in there and take a very deep inhale of it , man it smells so good. I went in the other year and as usual it was very busy. As I inhaled the lady in front of me turned and gave me a dirty look. I then realised that she may have thought I was sniffing her hair like some type of deviant

I was going to explain to her that it wasn't like that but as she'd turned away I thought best to leave it be and just queued up, bought my box of fudge and got the heck out of dodge.

This makes me think of WDW so much that I've actually bought it to use at home...H2O Plus Body Aquatics Natural Spring body wash. Just smells clean, like a long shower after a long, hot day walking the parks.

I don't know how they do it, but the water smells different on Pirates and Small World. It has a smell that paralyzes me when I am out somewhere and I smell it. Or maybe it was the mist. Either way, it screams Disney.

So our favorite smell is in SSE, the burning Rome scene.. I've been looking to recreate the smell at home without a real fire..lol

So we found this candle..

It's not exact but its pretty darn close! We have a natural gas fireplace and it adds just the right amount of natural wood smell to the point that guests comment on it, and it takes us to our SSE happy place.

Without a doubt the smell of Small World, it smells like my grandmothers house used to when I was a kid. I love it but I cry everytime I ride it LOL

Mickey waffles in the morning <3 I swear it's not a typical waffle smell!!

I absolutely LOVE the musty/plastic (?) smell when walking into Dinosaur after the preshow. Don't even really know how to describe the smell, but it is easily my favorite smell in general. I know this is somewhat odd, and I can't put my finger on it as to why, but I do. Another favorite is the smell of the burning library of Alexandria in Spaceship Earth.

My two favorite are easily the loading area of Dinosaur and the Rome burning scene for Spaceship Earth.

There are many great smells but both of these seem to be the most distinct to me, and I love smelling both of them.

The Musty smell of Splash and Pirates mixed with Chlorine.
The Monorail, the smell is not exactly pleasant but it smells like Disney!
The bathrooms at Frontierland, air freshners, has a citrus scent. Never notice it but there and Tommorowland.
Oranges and Pine on Soarin'
Rome on SE
The smell of the soaps and shampoos at the resorts! Every now and then I break one out when I am homesick!

Totally agree with you on the bathrooms. I've noticed that all of the bathrooms around the park have a certain smell (not a bad smell, it must be the cleaner that is used.) Another very recognizable scent!

The water in slash mountain, and star tours. I don't know what the smell is but the que up until loading has a really nice smell to me.

The water in slash mountain

Don't drink the water in Slash Mountain; I did once, and stared at my hands for several hours.

 

[Kitchandro]

The damp smell in the queue for Pirates.

The smell of the waterfall in the Poly.. sad that it is gone now.... and, the new car smell of Epcot in March 1983 when I first visited (desperately searching for that smell again)

 

[princesscaitlin92]

my absolute favorite smell is so weird i feel like lol. i remember it most vividly at the little mermaid show in HS, the fog machine i believe is what does it.

i know its not disney world, but the ET ride at universal studios has a smell i crave as well.

[yaksplat]

The smell of the haunted mansion.

I have a gallon of gear oil at home that smells just like it

I also like the smell of the shampoo and conditioner in the Disney Resorts.
