I love that smell as well! "Greasy, mechanical..." is exactly how I would describe it, too! <<SNIFF!>> Ahhhhh. Love it!

I know what you mean...it smells like burnt rubber to me. Hands down my favorite weird smell in the park. Second favorite is FoP.
I wouldn’t exactly say that I like Spaceship Earth’s smell...but every time I walk by I think to myself “smells like Rome falling”.

I usually gas up at the same place and they let me fill it myself...now as far as your wife goes...lol
Why, why did you have to mention this. We bring a filtered bottle and you can still smell and taste it. I usually drink Coke when I am in the MK just so that I don't have to drink that water.

I agree. I always noticed that the water and ice in WDW has a distinct taste and smell but I couldn't exactly describe it until now. If I get a fountain soda in one of the restaurants, I usually ask for light ice because I don't care for the taste of the ice. I think that it changes the way the soda or lemonade tastes.

I love the smells that first greet you when you enter MK. I enjoy strolling down Main Street and smelling the popcorn, hot dogs and all of the yummy confections as I head towards Cinderella's Castle. I can always tell when I am getting close to Columbia Harbor House because I can smell the fish and chips, yum! I love putting malt vinegar on my fries. One of my favorite rides in MK is the Haunted Mansion. I love that old, mildew smell inside. I don't know if that is how the building really smells or if that is some kind of scent they pump into the air (I know that sounds ridiculous lol).

I love the smell of the interior of the monorails (at the beginning of the day), the water in POTC, as well as the popcorn smell on Main Street. My favorite scent in all of WDW still has to the Polynesian Lobby!
It's been years since I've smelled this, but there was a smell once the airplane landed and outside air was allowed to flow into the cabin. Just humid air, but there was a distinct smell to it.
Another weird one for me - hard water as you enter the shower. Every time I get into my shower at home, I get the smell for a split second and it reminds me, for some reason, of Old Key West.

The lobbies of the Poly (especially before refurb but even after) and Beach Club as well as Splash Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean

My fave lobby smell is probably the Grand Flo. Closest I’ve found in the real world is Bath & Body Works’ Japanese Cherry Blossom scent.

The attraction is air conditioned, cool air will come down ( warm air rises). So the cool air will come down and exit the large entrance. Thus bringing the smell from the attraction to the outdoor area underneath!
Don't mean to ruin it for ya , but you know the smells on Main St. are artificial..... right?

Back in 2004, the first time my then-GF-now-wife and I stayed at AKL, we loved the smell in the hallway. We asked at the lobby what it might be, they couldn't...or wouldn't???...tell us. We asked the shop if they sold the aroma in a candle or anything. Finally we found someone in Mousekeeping, and we asked them what that smell is because we absolutely love it. She looked at us like we each had 3 heads, held up the bottle and rag in her hand and said "citrus cleaner."
