Favorite Smells at WDW

[DarthGrady]

Another vote for the smokey fall of Rome scene in SSE. It's even better when I start my Jeremy Irons narration track at just the right time so that he says the line right on cue.

The beach club. I just love the smell of that resort.

The water does have this weird smell to it. It's home. I don't know. However I smell it on Pirates and Small World. Not so much Splash Mountain, but definitely the other two. I know it isn't just me, but am I just smelling ordinary water?

Lobby of GF and lobby of AKL just heavenly!

Now that Disney has rid itself of NesCafe I love the smell of coffee brewing first thing in the morning at quick service at our resort and the smell of that coffee as I walk back to my room as dawn approaches. Something about the smell of real fresh coffee and walking around the quiet resort as daybreak is almost there.....

And nobody to notice I am in my make shift jammies and a coat cover-up. Amazingly, the vast majority of coffee seekers are dressed similarly at that unGodly hour.

There are so many times that my daughter or I will say to eachother..'' It smells like Splash Mtn in here''

The lobby in OKW....love it!!!

The obvious ones:

• Burning Rome in SSE
• Orange smell in Horizons (may it rest in piece)
• Pine smell in Soarin'

Less obvious:

• Smell in the Poly lobby. Something about the tropical water feature has a very distinctive (and nostalgic) smell to me.
• Smell of the fog effect in the Aliens room in GMR (again, more of a nostalgia thing to me)
• Slightly metallic smell of the ToT elevators
• Cooking smell in AKL lobby (interestingly enough this was intentional by WDI because when visiting villages in Africa one of the first things you notice is the smell of outdoor, open fire cooking, so the way they laid out Boma and Jiko allows the cooking/food smells to permeate into the lobby to simulate that effect)

Norway (the perfume and the smell of Maelstrom), Main Street (mmm freshly-pumped-in cookie smell), Pirates water, the Shades of Green lobby (kind of pine-y), SSE loading area, burning Rome, Soarin' orange groves, fresh popcorn everywhere, and so many more...Basically all of the World except the AVAC system *puke*

 

[tman2000]

The swampy water in the coke!

Any Disney Hotel especially the higher value ones.

Splash Mountain scenes (goes with music somehow).

Monorail vinyl

[Doc Disney]

I never actually thought about how the water in the water rides (esp Pirates) has such a distinct smell but it really does! I would have to say that smell and the smell of popcorn for sure

 

[NormC]

The roasting nuts at DHS, The food smells on Main Street.

 

[portorleans13]

heres a weird one: the smell of the resort air conditioning outside of rooms (also the sound of them)

 

[Disnee4Me]

Hmmm ... not one person has said the Turkey Legs

 

[WDWVolFan]

All of Disney smells nice. It just does.

That's because you haven't gone into the bathrooms near Casey's Corner after someone ate a Chili Dog...
