Favourite "strange" WDW smell.....

[NickMaio]

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

So true

Apparently you didn't see my post...I happen to love the smell of gasoline and exhaust.

Maybe this isn’t a weird smell, cause everybody knows this one, but the Rome burning smell on SSE-it’s not a favourite per se, but memorable. That smell lingers in my nose right up until almost the top of the attraction-unless the 70s disco scientist is burning incense for some reason....

 

[NickMaio]

Yup .... Thats a weird smell.

The old soap that the hotels used to provide (the ones with the black packaging with Mickey on the front!) and the ocean scent in Soarin’. I recently bought a candle that smells like it and it takes me back every time I light it

Is there a Disney candle?

The smell on Main Street USA. The Contemporary lobby and the Grand Floridian lobby.

I don't know if the smell is still there, but I used to love the smell of the Haunted Mansion queue. Maybe it was the furniture polish they used on all the hardwood? I don't know. It was a distinct sweet smell and all of my memories of the Mansion are tied to it. Maybe I'm crazy.

There are! A company called the Magic Candle Company makes candles that smell like the Main Street Bakery, Dole Whips, and even the burning Rome scene from SSE!

They have a Haunted Mansion candle! You just cost me $50.

the water at Splash Mountain/the water in Bay Lake in general. I guess I'm just a rivercountrygirl at heart <3

That hall by the bathrooms in Innoventions West that smells like a cross between an overflowing sewer and a bad hair perm. Yeah, it takes me back.

This drives me crazy. It's like a septic field vents RIGHT THERE. I don't understand how they leave it!

I totally agree about the smell on Main Street. There is something special about it that makes me so excited every time I first enter MK. Probably nostalgia from going to WDW so many times with my family when I was a kid.

I love the whole smell of PotC. I know its the water chemicals they use, but its just a good smell to me!

 

[geekza]

I think I smelled it a couple weeks ago!

The candle company nailed it. Cedar wood.

 

[memethyst]

rome burning because it smells like bbq chicken
the water on pirates and other boat rides of course
the pie in philharmagic
the oranges in old soarin of course

 

[KBLovedDisney]

I second this ^

Walked under it today and I noticed it has the distinct smell of crayons.

Love the PotC queue line, it's so stagnant and dank! Such a weirdly pleasant and satisfying smell, and sets the mood for the ride perfectly.
