Do You Bring A Room Scent?

Nope we have never brought a scent with us and won't.

Many air fresheners contain toxic chemicals that are harmful. We don't use them or like to be around them for this purpose alone. Air quality can be bad enough at times, I don't like adding additional toxins to it. I think it is fine if you wish to do in your home, but a hotel room that is occupied by others after you leave, or with shared HVAC systems pumping air into other rooms I'd personally appreicate it if folks didn't add to air quality problems.

This whole scent thing is kinda funny. What I gather from reading all the different threads on DIS it looks like a lot of us "do" things we should never do in hotel rooms. Cooking in crock pots, bringing toasters and toaster oven...... I think I'd rather smell a fresh scent then some smelly food cooking or burnt toast..... Just saying

Yea but the problem arises because what you consider a 'fresh scent' isn't necessarily the same for everyone. I mean have you smelled some of the people at the mall.....who wears that skunk cologne and thinks it smells nice LOL

Nothing plug in but we bring a small bath and body air fresher spray for " bathroom" use. Sometimes the fan isn't enough.

It's never occurred to me to being one, but I don't think it's necessary for us. I don't care if other people do though, and I've never smelled my neighbors' room through the air vents.

Tell me how bringing a candle or air freshener is any different that people using hair spray, shampoo, body wash, perfume/cologne?? It all lingers.

Yep. I'm EXTREMELY sensitive to overpowering smells, whether they are "pleasant" or "yucky", smells that are really strong give me migraines. I've been affected by the smell of soap in the air after someone bathes. Should people stop using soap because it affects people the way it affects me? No. Everything is going to affect someone. Use your air freshener, and don't worry about it. As long as the hotel has no policy against it, then they obviously have no problems with it and it's okay to do.

I agree with the last 2 post. There is some smells out there that will offend others! I'm not taking a big old candle and letting it burn nor am I bringing a plug in , I'm taking with me a small round container with a scented gel in it. That's it!.... Nothing bigger then the scent tins from Yankee Candle. Trust me the last thing I want to do in ruin someone's trip to WDW. I just hope others who cook in their room think twice about doing that also. Yes we know candles and plug ins can start fires but so can that crock pot and toaster oven your using!........

 

[Earth Mama]

We don't. I've had to change rooms more than once due to reacting to someone sprayed everywhere scents. I'd hate for my Disney trip to end up with myself or DS in the ER because someone scented the rooms.

Too many people are allergic to scents and perfume. Hotel rooms need to be treated like a public space.

Nope. I have asthma, and we don't use anything scented in my house. No scented cleaners, or laundry soap, nothing. If whoever had the room before me left it scented, I wouldn't be able to sleep there.

I wouldn't compare it to the smells people use when washing. They can smell worse if they don't wash! Cleaning is kind of a necessity, burning a candle in your room is not.

A quick spray of hairspray/perfume is not normally going to affect someone after the room is cleaned. However someone soaking a room in scent can be quite different. The scent gets into drapes and carpet and bedspreads. It is not a quick spray but a constant scent.

Most posters who ask about cooking in their rooms are told it is not allowed by Disney. I have to say too, that if I smelled cooking coming from the room next to mine, I would probably report it. I know of 2 people who have had house fires in the last 2 months, and there is no way I trust everyone at WDW to be careful with their cooking appliances.

hahaha some people practically drown themselves in perfumes/colognes so I can definitely see that permeating the room. Same with hair spray, I was a big offender back in the 80's.

I have asthma. I am allergic to just about everything outdoors but I have never noticed any sort of lingering odor in a hotel room except for when the carpets were washed and the chemical smell was too much, wet paint and a room not being properly ventilated and a nasty Days Inn that didn't bother to change the previous occupants sheets.

That being said, I do pick up an air freshener and/or Lysol disinfectant type of spray for the room. The reason? Most bathrooms do NOT have a fan in them. I'm sorry but there are some odors that are too much and need some spray.

Amen to a fresh smelling bathroom especially in a hotel room!




I have been in hotel rooms that have been sprayed with some kind of freshener. While we were in Williamsburg 3 years ago our room just had that closed up no air circulating smell. What did house keeping do?......... The sprayed the room with some Fabreze.

What does a hotel in Williamsburg have to do with WDW? As far as the bathroom-they do have fans.

I have never known a room in WDW to "smell" aside from a previous guest using fragrance.

Sadly, I think it comes down to people are going to do what they want with no regard for others.

So you mean to tell me if a child happened to get sick on the carpet in the rooms and after the room was cleaned BUT the smell of vomit still lingered in the air they would not spray that room?.......... I'm sure all hotel rooms WDW included have been sprayed with some type of air freshener.


And yes your 100% right, people are gonna do what they want some will take air fresheners and some will still have crock pots and toaster ovens cooking in their rooms. Look like none of us win.

I have never considered it when traveling... but I do always pack matches - for DH and myself after using the bathroom

Two wrongs don't make it right.

I know!....... What it I took a hanging air freshener like the kind for your car to keep in the bathroom?.......... Trust me you would want me to hang one in there after DH came out!
