Favourite "strange" WDW smell.....

[mouse_luv]

The fire pit smell mixed with the smell from Jiko at AKL.

When you walk under Spaceship Earth. I don't know what it is but it smells amazing.

I always smell the faintness of the burning ashes of Rome scene underneath! Am I crazy?? I always wonder how can that be - but I know that's what it is. Or at least what I smell at the bottom walking on the sides sort of flanking the sphere.

Is that the smell you also smell?

I like the musty/watery smells near the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon.
The moldy smell in some areas where there is moss.
That steamy smell of hot concrete mixed with rain as it begins to come down in the afternoon thunderstorms.
The smell of the train.

I remember the first time driving from NJ to PA and thinking how uncivilized these people were - they have to pump their own gas!

Then I moved to FL and realized NJ was the only place they have gas pumpers. (Yet the gas isn’t more expensive! Magic.)

When I was a kid we still had full service stations here in Los Angeles, but they were all gone by the late 80s/early 90s. But it wasn't a law, more like a luxury. You could choose to do full service or self service back then. Someone recently told me in Oregon they won't let you pump your own gas, either. I had no clue this was even a thing! lol Not sure if that is true or not, but my co-worker said he encountered that at 2 different Oregon gas stations last summer.

I faintly would smell it sometimes...

Rome Burning and all the smells from the Philharmagic. I don't know if they are strange, but I love me some of that.

Phew. Least I know I'm not having a stroke!

Yeah, it's weird how you can smell it way down there. Must be a vent somewhere that allows it to escape or drift down onto the walkways below.

Front cab of a monorail.

 

[Clamman73]

The smell of the Puffins roost with the wonderous smell of Geir the Power of Norway..And I have a bottle of it to enjoy and take me back to Epcot whenever I need it..

I recently started using jr Watkins foaming soap ocean breeze and it immediately put me in the gift shop...it’s pretty close to the smell.

I think that’s exactly right!! And is also my favorite WDW smell by far. There was a scent at bath & body works if they would ever get it back that very much reminded me of Rome burning... called Smokey Vanilla.

Oregon just changed their law within the past few years..we Garden Stater's are the ONLY state left in the US that outlaws self serve gas...every year there is talk to repeal the law, and every year it gets voted down...our former Governor, Chris Christie raised the tax 23 cents/gallon, so we're not one of the cheapest states anymore. Last time we drove down, DE, VA and SC were much cheaper than us.

Coming from Europe, taking the first step outside the airport and smelling that humid Orlando air is magical

The drinking water in WDW has a sulfur smell and taste. When I bring a glass up to my mouth, even before I taste it I can smell it, and I know I am in Florida.

I have a gallon jug of oil that i use for the gears in my planer and the smell of the used oil reminds me of the various greases and oils on the rides.

So are people in NJ not capable of pumping their own gas is it too complicated for them? Joking my DW is from NJ and it seems i'm always pumping gas into her car as well as mine she may not be capable ---did I say that

The lobby and Everything Pop store at Pop Century. I found the scent obnoxious for years and now... I love it. It's kind of a rotten strawberry and insect-nibbled orange.

I encountered this smell somewhere, back home, well off-property.

It is so distinctive, I immediately knew it was PC. Yet for the life of me I cannot remember where it was I had found it.

I love the smell of the Haunted Mansion -- like old, moldy oranges left in the kitchen fruit bowl for too long. I don't think it's changed in the 35 years I've been going to WDW...

Never associated the scent with oranges but I do like the smell. Your move Disney. Time to bottle it and sell it at Memento Mori! I'm in for a gallon.

There is a smell within the Beach Club lobby area in the evening that always makes me feeling like I’m home. It’s a mixture of the normal “clean” lobby smell and the smell coming from the Cape May Cafe seafood dinner. Funny thing is I for the most part don’t like seafood
