Disney Smells

[Uncleromulus]

I agree with SamSam. Sadly, the orange smell from Horizons is now but a memory----

The smell of the lobby at the Poly with all the vegitation and water.

 

[krismom]

The unmistakable smell of the monorial.

I agree with a lot of these!
the pie in Philharmagic
the lobby of the Polynesian - those doors slide open and ahhhh!!!!
the popcorn - yum!

Has anyone mentioned the smell of the Christmas store at Downtown Disney or the one in Liberty Square?

How about the perfum smell of Norway?

Odd one but I LOVE the smell of the lobby of All Star Movies. It's so clean!

the smell of the Poly resort GCH That smell is just puts me in the disney mood.

OUr first park is usually MK, and the smell of main street, with its mix of the bakery and shops.

the water on Splash mountain and pirates

The Universe of Energy used to have a "smell" but no more.

Ohhhh, I love the smell of Main Street! Also, we used a sunscreen on our 2004 trip with a distinctive fruity smell and the poor children were coated with it the entire trip being very fair and freckly so whenever we smell that suncreen we are transported back...sigh...

For me, the first great smell is the Florida air when I step out of the airport! Then, when we walk into the GF lobby...aaahhhh! There's no smell like that anywhere else!

I also love the smells that many rides have that are so distinctive: the Roman ruins in SE, El Rio del Tiempo, Soarin'...each pavilion in the WS has its own wonderful smell, too!

I'm so happy to see others posting w/ the same reaction to the Poly smell!! The doors open & I'm home!

The smell that does it for me is right when you walk into the lobby of the Polynesian resort. That unmistakable floral/tropical smell just tells me I have finally arrived!

I agree. the smell of the Polynesian lobby does it for me.

 

[Mariposa]

The smell of Laila (the Norway perfume).

The smell of the water rides and the cookie smell on Main Street.

 

[The Sweetness]

Ive only heard the horror stories, but what about the distinct aroma from Stitch's Great Escape?

I wont do that one just from fear that I will get ill from the smell

I love the smell of Florida in the morning. Smells like....holiday.

My favourites are the water, and Boma. Also, oddly enough, that plastic-y gift shop smell.

I haven't been to Disney in about 12 years, but the smell of black pavement on a hot day does it for me. I'll just get a sudden whiff and all of a sudden I am longing for DW. But, now when I go as a "grown up" I have a feeling I will be taking more of the scents of food as a reminder. When you are a kid, eating is just wasting time that you could have been riding Space Mountain. Now, I am looking just as forward to planning the meals as I am the parks! Oh, and I agree, the scent of that Disney Water! Not quite the same as the dingy, stale water of our local "amusement park".

i enjoyed the smells when i woke up early and just enjoyed my early morning walks around the perimeter of pop

 

[kathymc]

toasted/roasted (?) almonds in epcot

 

[mazdabug]

The scent I can remember the most are the tunnels on TSI (eeeek) .
My fave is when you walk into Cassey Corner. Oh those wonderful fries

 

[daisylou]

My favorite is the smell of the Main Street Confectionary.

All that sugar and chocolate! It reminds me of sticking my head in my old pillowcase full of candy after trick-or-treating as a child.

Mine would have to be the smell of our room at the Boardwalk and the concierge lounge when we first get there. Stepping onto the balcony first thing in the morning and smelling the Boardwalk Bakery also. At the parks, definately the musty water smell on Pirates and Splash Mountain, and at EPCOT, Rome burning in Spaceship Earth. There are so many more and it is making me homesick thinking about them Why is my countdown timer so long???????
