Ooooo! I second the smell of AKL...Boma's and the wood...so nice. I actually think about and fantasize about going back to AKL just to smell the place! Ha! We will be staying at VWL this next trip, but will be making a stop at AKL to eat at Boma's. Wish they could bottle that smell...I was actually thinking that just a couple of days ago! I'm weird.
Mine was the oranges at Horizons--now, I get somewhat the same feeling as I clean with Orange Power cleaner. Not exactly the same--but it'll have to do
Rome burning would be my second choice.
I've got to agree with Animal Kingdom Lodge firepit...the aroma fills the resort. It's been 1 1/2 yrs since we stayed there, but we still talk about how great it smells.
I am a lover of the AKL smells too...there are lots of us here! But, my very favorite WDW smell is the honey smell when you enter the gift shop, after leaving the Pooh ride at MK!
This may sound a little strange, but I love the musty smell in POTC. To me, that scent is embedded as the Disney smell, going back to when I was a child.
I mentioned this on the "sounds thread" but I love the smell in the Journey to Imagination attraction. I remember on our honeymoon when it was so hot and humid outside and we rode this attraction and it was so cool and it smelled of lavender (I think). If anyone knows what I am talking I would love to hear from you. I haven't ridden it since rehab but I leave tomorrow and will check it out.
Oh, I can't pick only one - there are just so many.
-love the ash smell in Spaceship Earth
-the musty smell in Pirates
-the sweet candy smell that just lofts out of the candy shop on Main Street
-the pine smell in the Xmas shops
Uggh, I guess I'll have to start planning my next trip so I can get my fix! LOL!
the wood smoke/spice smell at the AKL. (Anyone one know if this happens naturally because of BOMA or do they pump in this great smell!!!!
