Does Mouse Gear stink for anybody?

The smell is terrible if you enter MouseGear through the doors by Electric Umbrella. We always smell it there & also across the way in the breezeway by Character Spot. The smell is of raw sewage. You are not alone in smelling it! We always comment about how nasty it is. Has been that way for years, too!

THIS! Every time we walk in I say something about the smell. We go several times a year and I always mention this to my husband.

IDK about Mouse Gear but the monorail smells like bandaids to me.

Yes this!

Yep. It's really bad in the breezeway and raw sewage is exactly what it smells like. My kids curl their noses and comment about the smell every time we walk through.

If this entrance is near bathrooms, it is very likely sewage & possibly a vent issue as a PP stated, or a floor drain. I manage facilities for a large retail chain & the bathroom floor drain smelling is very common in our stores. There is supposed to be water in the drain that dissipates the sewer gases. For one reason or another, the water will often evaporate &/or dry up, allowing the sewer gases to rise up. All that is required to fix it, is to pour a couple cups of regular water down the drain. The issue could always reoccur, but then it's just the same easy fix. So, whoever goes there next, maybe you should try pouring water down the floor drain & see if we can help Disney fix this.

YES!! We couldn't shop in there last October because it had such a strong sewage smell. On the plus side, it saved me a ton of money! Last year there was a long thread on this topic and someone had said it had to do with the large fountain nearby, but I have no idea if that's really true.

And on our last several trips I thought the monorails smelled like dirty Band-Aids. ICK!
