Hah... that's specifically a WDW smell... Down in Anaheim, you get plenty of that L.A. pollution.

Favorite smell. The sweets in The Candy Shoppe on Main Street USA. Some of it I can't have now due to my Diabetes except the sugar free stuff.
Friendships are a blessing. Don't waste it on people who can't appreciate it.

Another one I thought of is the smell of your resort room the first time you walk in (ok, so all hotel rooms have that "clean" smell - but Disney's is the best :D )

Oh I totally forgot that one! One trip my family stayed at the Boardwalk and there was nothing like smelling that bakery in the morning on our way to Epcot or the Studios.

The refreshing scent of the air freshener after someone stinks up a restroom *coughsci-ficough*. There's also that weird menthol odor when you're going through the deteriation room on Test Track. Oh, and the wonderful smell of funnel cakes at MK or Epcot. There's also the nasty smell of those rubber snakes they sell at the Indiana Jones store. Oh, and wet dirty mulch in the morning at MGM near Star Tours :roll:

Oh, and "Welcome Home."

I like the smell of the lizards because it reminds me of when I was little....but otherwise its gross. I also love the smell of the turkey legs and the churros at MK.

Also the smell of the BBQ joint in The Land.
I remember all the smells you listed here. Especially the oranges from Horizons and the flowery smell from Figment. When I smell something similar to it I go "It smells like Horizons in here" or "It smells like imagination in here."

I also agree with the "bacony" smell of Rome on SSE. Also a smell that I love that I haven't seen listed is that smell from the Dinosaur portion of Universe of Energy. I don't know how to describe it but I love it.

Good one with the dinosaurs...a British friend of mine frequently makes tea that smells like Energy dinosaurs.

What kind of tea is it? Maybe they should package it and sell it as "Universe of Energy - Dinosaur tea" at Epcot. Come to think of it. maybe WDW should manufacture and market air freshners/candles, etc. that are modeled after people's favorite WDW smell. Just think:

- Pirates of The Caribbean's - "Musty Treasure"
- Horizons- "Orange Grove"
- Frontierland's - "Turkey Leg"
- Spaceship Earth's - "Rome is Burning"
- etc.

:wink:

I personally think Disney needs to Market "Disney Deodorant" for the not-so pleasant smell of some of the foreign tourists. I will NEVER forget getting stuck behind one on my honeymoon w/ my wife at AK. Believe me...I could only hope that the sent was coming from one of the local animals. That being said...my favorite smell is the Wilderness Lodge lobby. :mickey:

I do like the air after fireworks. Spent firework shells smell sooo good.

Also, the oranges in Horizons were called l'oranges. I really don't know why though. Maybe they were futuristic.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.
