i know it sound completely backwords... but i LOVE the skunk smell in Journey thru Imagination.

I dont really know whay... my guess is the expectation of it. I know its coming and I'm prepared, but it makes me laugh and smile every time

Ewwww on the skunk smell!
Walking down main stree we always smell popcorn! I'm more aware of the sounds of Disney than the smells. I love to just sit sometimes and listen.

Its weird, but I like that smell that comes with all of the "smoke" throughout WDW and the smell of air conditioning. (I think they put something in the system as an anti-baterial thing.) THe monorail smells very similar...Its very strange!

I was driving around the other day and it was raining outside. It smelled just like POTC as you are boarding your boat. It gave me an amazing rush and got me pumped for my trip in January!

There's this telephone pole in my neighborhood that smells like Splash Mountain when it rains. Whenever I walk by it I feel like singing or something :lol: .

I work next to a coffee shop that roasts it's own beans. For some reason, occasionally the smell hits me and reminds me of the Boardwalk. It's nothing I can put my finger on (i.e. a specific thing from the Boardwalk) just takes me back.

Oh the smells. There are the great scents on Soarin' that really takes me in. I also find that skunk on Journey into Immgaination to be really good. Every time I smell a skunk, I always think back to being on that ride and I just start singing One Little Spark!

I miss the "blue room" from the original JII. I don't know what it was officially called, but I always called it the blue room, it always reminded me of Picasso's blue period, but anyways the room always smelled like rose oil.

I totally know what you're talking about!! Where there's not one precise thing that I know of that will smell like Splash Mountain, I will get random whiffs of that musty, woody smell and it will totally take me back.

I agree with the musty water smell. When I am working with my sprinklers at home, I will, on occasion, catch a wiff that smells like that and it reminds me of Pirates.

Mexico Smells

Post by kschn3671 » Oct Wed 01, 2008 6:06 pm

I love the smell of the Mexican pavilion inside from the volcano and the food cooking. Also, inside the land has an unique smell as well

Musty smell in Pirates is the best "memory trigger" for me.

Absolutely. I've run into that smell many times outside of Disney World. It immediately takes me back to Pirates.
