What scents remind you of DW?

[#1disneyfan]

Air conditioning reminds my DD of the buses in WDW. Everytime we start up the air in the car, it has a certain scent, and she says it reminds her of Disney.

I was on an elevator a few weeks ago and I said to my DW this smells like Disney. I am not sure if it was the greese that smelled like the rides or what. It was not a bad smell, but it did remind me of Disney.

The smell of citrus always reminds me of Horizons.

Also, some treated water has that certain smell that Disney water attractions have. And burning wood always reminds me of Rome burning in SSE

When our dishwasher "vents" it has that "humid" watery smell that reminds me of POTC and Splash!

If I catch a whiff of freshly popped popcorn, it always reminds me of the first walk down mainsteet...heading towards the castle...good stuff.

I have a perfume called Vacation from Avon. I bought it for our first family vacation to Disney. Every time I wear it It reminds me of DIsney.

well, I just love the smell of the Norway shop. My husband bought me the Laila purfume and i thought that it would remind me every time i wore it, but it didn't. On our last trip, my husband bought Geir, the scent for men, from the Norway store, and WOW!! I never realized that the scent on the store was a combination of the two, when we are both wearing the scents, I can close my eyes and we are back in NORWAY.

I have two;Dove soap because it smells like the Morning Mist they used to spray at the old Journey into Imagination(you would smell it as soon as you approached the pavillion) and of course-diesel fumes from waiting for the busses

Both of our Disney Stores have closed recently-so I won't be able to smell it any more. However, the one that was in our Galleria Mall had carpeting that smelled like the rooms in the resorts. Every time I would go in there I would notice it; so, one day I decided to ask one of the workers. Oddly, she told me that I wasn't the only one that had commented on this and that several people had noticed. The kids thought I was nuts but I knew it smelled the same. Also, sometimes after it rains we notice that it smells like "Disney in the morning."

Maybe it's because I live in Chicago, but the smell of a city bus takes me back to waiting to board a WDW bus at Pop Century to MK.

Haha! I was thinking the exact same thing as I waited for the Chicago city bus this morning! Its almost the same...not quite, but sooooo close!

I usually work until 11pm - in the summer, especially after thunderstorms, the warm air and wet pavement combined makes a smell that reminds me of evenings at WDW. I also am reminded of it every time I put on my sunblock....mainly because I use it the most at WDW!

I totally agree, when I go to the Disney Store in RI I can close my eyes and feel like I am at Disney. Do they pipe in that smell somewhere?
Also I was there the other day and asked if they were closing this one and she said no this one is staying open So when I get to missing mickey I always head over there.

Ok, mine are a little peculiar:

1. The smell of the ice in the gigantic ice maker at my work smells like the poly lobby. I have been caught more than once sticking my head in it to enjoy the smell.

2. Sadly, the smell of ciggy smoke in a park or some other open air area. Smoking was rampant when i was a kid at DW.

3. The city buses always remind me of the DW buses. I never thought i would enjoy the smell of pollution.

Well I might be one of the only ones who likes a certain kind of mildew because of the slight scent on old water rides like IASW and Pirates.

Another weird one -- our pediatrician's office has a water fountain and lilve plants in the lobby, and during the summer when the air-conditioning is on, the smell is like walking into the Polynesian.

For me, it's the scent of my sunscreen. I don't wear sunscreen on an everyday basis unless I am in a theme park. The particular sunscreen that reminds me of WDW is: "Sundown" which it seems is not made anymore. I have just a tiny bit left from a previous year, and I save it to sniff in the winter .... just to remind me of WDW !

[newcarsmell]

The smell of the atrium at the Polynesian is unique - guess it's just all those plants. (btw, why is it that I expect to run into the Brady Bunch at this hotel?

[kemps@wdw]

I have 2 also. Ditto on the bus smell. The diesel smell reminds me of waiting @ the bus stops. And the toasted nuts cart just outside The Land in Epcot. I love that smell soooo much that I make them @ home so my home smells that way too!

[TheMartellFamily]

It is the orange citrus smell. When I spray this as a disinfectant spray at my medical office it brings me back to riding Horizons.
