Is there a smell....

[MichiganDisneyDad4]

Is there a smell or a taste at home in your everyday life that brings you back to Disney? Mine is peach. Our trip years ago, I ate and drank everything peach while driving down for our vacation. I am sitting here now eating some peach yogurt and can't help but bring myself back to my trips to the world!

My bottle of Geir: The Power of Norway cologne. One spritz and I'm back in the Puffin's Roost...

Wildfires for me- we visited one year (maybe 07 or 08) when there was a big drought and a wildfire raging near Orlando. You could smell it as soon as you left the airport and the sky had a strange hue. I remember sitting on a beach in Seven Seas Lagoon thinking how weird the white sand looked up against the dark sky. We don't have many wildfires in NJ (knock on wood) but a fire burning on a hot, humid day takes me back.

I see a sign every trip that Ness Geir will be there during my visit.

HA! Roadside barbecue stands....that smokey smell. Reminds me every time of the Lobby At AKL Jambo at dinner....

Oranges- that classic smell from Horizons or cinnamon, comming from the uk in the early 90s that was an exciting new smell and taste for a teenage brit!

Anything pineapple reminds me of Pineapple Lanai @ Polynesian.

Also, has anyone noticed they now pump in a "bonfire" smell into pirates during the burning town scene? Or have I just not noticed before?

Well mine is a little strange. When I walk during my lunch break quite often a bus goes by. That diesel exhaust smell reminds me of when you stand in the bus lines.

Not strange at all, I still get taken a back when I smell a diesel bus in the area where we live. Last year when we were staying at Pop and we went to the busses for the first time and I was disappointed that they now use natural gas, because the smell is gone.

EDIT: I guess it's still diesel but its a renewable, more environmentally safe type. Fairly certain that last year the smell was gone.

Bath and Body works has a fireside candle that reminds me of "Burning Rome" in SSE.
Anything cinnamon or champagne scented reminds me of the "Be Our Guest" scene in Philharmagic.

The various shower gels that I've brought home over the years. The best was the H2O aquatics one from the late 90s/early 2000s. I still have some of that and I can open it up and imagine I'm in the shower at Caribbean Beach.
But the smell I miss most of all is the smell of Florida air when you first step outside at MCO...

Spring mornings when the air is fresh and dewy makes me feel like I'm stepping outside my hotel room at Disney, all the time.

Actually not at home, but the Break Room at my place of work. First thing in the morning when everyone brews their coffee, the smell reminds me a lot of the All-Star Cafes at breakfast time.

My wife has some spray (Eucalyptus and spearmint) she uses once in a while on her pillow to help her relax to sleep. She used it in Disney and and it always make me feel like I'm in the Disney Bubble.
A really buttery popcorn that small like it was out of a Disney popcorn machine can get me there too.

If I want the disney smell, all I gotta do is bake some cookies! Those cookie smell machines at disney really work.

Magic Candle Company makes some spot on scents.. Mostly the Lobby's and Pirate water!

Yep, same here!
We went on our first family trip in early July of ‘01, and stayed at POR.
IIRC, they had been having wildfires in the area for over a month, and had just started getting them under control. There was no more detectable smoke, but, the smell was everywhere we went on property. The whole place smelled like the Rome burning scene in SSE, and that smell takes me right back to that first family trip...!!!

Pineapple (dole whips and the polynesian). Also, the bathrooms at Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati must use a similar cleaning product to some of the bathrooms at WDW because they smell the same.

You are not the first to use this spray, nor shall you be the last.
