    Default Missing The Smell Of...

    We just got back from WDW last week.

    I really got into experiencing the smells on this trip. It was great!

    My favorites:
    - The water inside the rides like POTC
    - The soaps in my hotel room
    - The fires of Rome on Spaceship Earth
    - Mickey's Phil Harmagic

    I miss it.

    Ohhh...nice one. The smell of the cinnamon rolls as well as the ice cream emporium can draw me in like a magnet.

    I'm envious that you have a Sep trip in the works. Enjoy.

    My favorite scent in the world is the smell in the lobby of the Poly! I wish they could bottle it and sell it in the gift shops. I miss it!

    You beat me to it! Kinda smells like a mixture of tropical plants, pepper plants, air conditioning, waterfalls, and Ohana's all rolled into one! Nothing better than coming back from the MK on the monorail late at night and walking through the great ceremonial house.

    I am missing the smell of the queue to the original JII ride. Heck, I've been missing that for the last 12-13 years. Anybody remember what, exactly, that was?

    I LOVE the smell of POTC, that is something that brings back all the nostalgia of going when I was little. It's funny how smells can do that. One whiff of something will bring back memories long since forgotten!

    I love the smell of the trees all around Wilderness Lodge.
    Also the smell of the ice cream on the ice cream cookies when one of my kids inevitably shoves it into my nose because I'm taking too many bites before sharing...

    Cool

    It's great how those certain scents take you back....
    ...to the lobby of the Polynesian
    ...walking past Main Street Bakery
    ...PoTC
    ...Soarin'
    ...when you are walking behind the GCH at the Poly in the early evening and you can smell the oak fired grill in 'Ohana

    Can we all go back now?

    Don't laugh...but the smell of the air fresheners at Disney...so strong and industrial...yet so unique to Disney.

    But I also appreciate the more elegant smells like the smell of the Lobby at the Swan!

    There's also something that sticks out in my mind about the smell of the Heinz BBQ sauce at the fast food places in the parks haha

    Also the smoky smell of Space Ship Earth from Rome burning

    my favorite Disney smells are:

    outside the candy shop on Mainstreet early in the morning just after the park opens

    orange trees on Soarin

    fireworks after watching Wishes from behind the castle in Fantasyland

    the damp smell inside Pirates of the Caribbean
    There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

    Biergarten, Biergarten, Biergarten. Love walking past that portion of Epcot. Warm day, cold beer and a brat. Can't beat it. I agree on the SSE Burning Rome.

    Lots, but here's a few:

    • The smoky air of the Wilderness Lodge.
    • The humid morning air anywhere in WDW, but especially at the home resort or at the gate of one of the parks.
    • Coffee and breakfast, especially at the home resort, but also at Crystal Palace.
    • Water ride and poolside smell.
    • The fruity, earthy essences of wine from around the World Showcase.
    • A new one for me, the smells of Soarin', and not just the orange grove, but also the ocean and pine scents from some of the other scenes.


    That's all I can think of right now.

    Here are a few of my favorites. Sorry if I repeat a bunch others have already mentioned:

    • The lobbies of the Polynesian and Animal Kingdom Lodge
    • The water on all boat rides, like Pirates of the Caribbean and Splash Mountain
    • The orange groves on Soarin'
    • The pie in Mickey's PhilharMagic
    • Rome is burning on Spaceship Earth
    • The Main Street Bakery shortly after rope drop
    • The musty smell of the monorail


    I'm sure I forgot a bunch!
