Pirates water smell in Disneyland vs Disney World.

[Rach5496]

I just got back from Disney World for the first time (been to Disneyland several times), but I was a bit disappointed in the pirates ride in Florida. It didn’t have the classic smell like the California ride. It kind of smelled like sulfur mixed with the artificial smells they add.
has anyone else noticed the smell difference if you’ve been to both Disneyland and Disney World?

mildew is mildew really.

I can't say I've noticed a difference. I really love the PotC smell so I think I'd have noticed if the WDW one smelled significantly different. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a subtle difference a certain times of the year since Fla is so much more humid than So Cal. Maybe during times of the year with high humidity there's an extra whiff of damp? We've gone to WDW during traditional times of low-ish humidity.

The WDW version definitely smells different. I prefer the DL Pirates for multiple reasons, smell being one of them.

I seldom even bother with the WDW version of pirates since it is so inferior.

Our first trip in 1996 I remember remarking, on video that, the smell, was the same as Disneyland.

Absolutely. The WDW doesn't compare with the DLR one in any way - especially smell.

It's bromine.

It's bromine.

Do they not use bromide at Disney world?

I don't know, I haven't been there in 10+ years! I seem to remember it smelling different though.
It could be they're using chlorine or something else.

I always think the DL one smells like chlorine (sometimes it’s strong enough to bother me). I can’t remember what the WDW one smells like since it’s been 3+ yrs since I’ve ridden it.

WDW PIrates uses Bromine as well.
