Disney "Smells"

Hi, this may seem like a strange post for a newbie to this forum, but this topic sparked my interest because I'm totally blind.

Wow...I guess Subsonic Radio is even more special to you...since it's all about audio. I have found that the sounds and smells of Disney are a million times more powerful than how beautiful it looks...and it's one of the most visually beautiful places in the world! It's almost like you don't appreciate the sounds and smells quite as much until you leave and something comes around to remind you.

It's gotta be Rome Burning in SSE for me... That's a memorable scent.

Of course, theres Soarin' and Pirates... Those are just classic scents. But in the intro scene to Living with the Land, and in the Rainforest scene, those are awesome scents too... It's mainly the flume water thats... vaporized? by the high waterfall in that scene, but maybe its the combo of the sounds and the scents...

OH! and after riding Stitch's Great Escape once, I can't ever eat Chili Dogs without remembering that... >_>

I would have to say that mine are in order
#1 the smell that you get on the walk from the resort buses to the main gate at EPCOT. It must be the combination of flowers, and ferns that they have along the right hand side but that smell to me says "I'm Home"
#2 just like 90% of the posters on this thread the musty water on POTC the moment I caught a wiff of that on my trip last week I couldnt get enough I rode it 4 times and each time during that scene before you go down the shoot I kept deeply inhaling like it was the last thing i was ever going to smell.
#3 is a tie Burning smell on SSE and the Fish and chips smell coming from the Rose and Crown. I finally got my fish and chips on this last trip at it down near the water line on one of the park benches had a few seagulls beging pretty bad for some fish

I would pay good money for that musty water smell if anyone finds out how to reproduce it or something that smells like it please let all of us know.

I will always remember the smell in the original Journey Into Imagination. I loved that smell! You can catch a whiff sometimes in the new ride but it's not the same. I also enjoyed the orange smell in the farms of Horizons.

My room smelled exactly like that one winter when the seal on the window broke and the sill got covered in mold.

M'not really sure I'd recommend that method though... probably not good for you. And your parents yell at you for not saying anything. The 'But it smells like PotC!' defense won't get you anywhere, either.

The mixed smells of the Rivers of America while riding the Mark Twain always does it for me.

The smell of the pie in the Be Our Guest sequence at Philharmagic, closely followed by the orange groves in Soarin'.

Anyway, when I was younger I was a huge Dreamflight fan (hence the username!), so my favorite smell would have to be the fog machine used to create one of the effects during the jet-engine scene of that ride. It always gave that scene a distinctive smell that I quickly grew to love.
Incidentally, a few years ago my mom and I saw a live production of A Christmas Carol, and they used a fog machine with the very same Dreamflight smell during the graveyard scene near the end. For a few seconds I was back on Dreamflight again, and I later learned that my mom felt the same way! I guess sometimes a smell can bring it all back.

That's a pretty cool memory and very intense. I remember Dreamflight only vaguely from my childhood.

One of the best "nostalgic" smells is the dank smell of the Pirates queue.

By far my favorite smell is when you first walk into the polynesian resort lobby! I have loved that since I was a child, even thou the lobby has changed, that smell has stayed the same!!

I've only been to Polynesian a few times but what would you describe this smell as?

Wow that is a tuff one to describe, honestly to me that smell I guess is a combination of the flowers, plants, and waterfalls. Might be the wood they used. That smell honestly is happiness I guess!

Yeah I defnitely remember a lot of flowers, plants. It might also just might be the smell of the water....It's the water in the Lake Buena Vista area that is one smell that is unique. I had to take a shower every day in that smell when I lived down there during the CP..haha

My Favorites:


1. I don't know why but it's the smell in the walkways of Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland, I think some of its due to the candy store, but it just smells like magic and pixie dust.

2. Gotta love the musty water in Pirates. It's even better at Disneyland when you eat at Blue Bayou inside.

3. Anything from Soarin'.

4. Rome Burning

5. Main Street Smells

6. Adventureland in Disneyland, by Bengal BBQ and Indy
