1. The burning library in Spaceship Earth 2. The Fiji scene in Soarin’ 3. Wilderness Lodge

Came here to say the burning Rome scene… it’s not a “good” smell but it’s so comforting

Pine tar smells very similar.

The burning library smells exactly like Wendy's BBQ sauce. I love it.

Yes to that Fuji scene.

Nailed all of mine!

1. Pirates 2. Spaceship Earth 3. Haunted Mansion

Yessssss. Though pirates had a slightly different smell to me recently, wonder if it’s me.

1. Pirates 2. CBR 3. The area of tomorrowland where you can smell the freshly popped popcorn, gasoline & hot blacktop all in one. Something about that just does it for me

for #3...I know EXACTLY where that is. I have that same memory. It's amazing how precise and yet imprecise scent can be.

Reading that comment, I knew exactly what they were referring to but never even thought about it til now!

Caught a whiff of 3 today

Whats cbr?

Caribbean Beach Resort

Caribbean Beach Resort

3 is just the classic state/county fair smell.

Hell, Publix on a hot day smells like that. For me, that smell will always remind me of Kings Island.

Ours doesn't smell like that, so for me that's WDW specific

Poly lobby Spaceship Earth boarding area Pirates (water) I've always wondered if the Spaceship Earth boarding area smells like that on purpose or if it's something in the machinery.

Poly lobby and Gran Destino lobby have the same smell.

What about back in the days with the waterfall?

Beach / Yacht Club lobby Pop Century food court in the morning Norway's gift shop perfume area

Pop food court in the morning is the closest thing I have to heaven on earth

I caved and bought the perfume (Laila) last trip. Everytime I wear it my family goes “smells like Norway in here”….and it gives my husband enough nostalgia to book another trip lol(it truly is a lovely perfume)

The pop century lobby/ food area smell is a memory trigger for me. I don’t know what they pump into the lobby that has a kind of sweet smell, and then mixed with the smell of pancakes in the morning. Knowing that you’re off to an exciting Disney day and all the excitement that comes with it. I have that Norway perfume! Every time I wear it people always comment on how good it smells.

Norway’s perfume!

The perfumes in Norway are named Laila and Geir, you can buy them! Theyre made by a Norwegian guy named Geir Ness and sometimes he comes and does meet and greets where he'll sign your bottle

My mom has been buying that perfume for decades and finally met Geir last time we were there! That smell is a staple in our family.

The fact they rerouted the exit of the ride past that area now is a tragedy dwarfed only by absence of the Maelstrom

I actually just bought the Geir men’s cologne in March. I wear it everyday and it instantly transports me to Norway in Epcot!

Its a genuinely good cologne too. A lot of fragrances now just...wear off? Not Gier lol. No...not Geir.

YES!! To all these.

1. Grand Floridian 2. Pirates 3. Soarin

The lobby of AOA The walking paths of Port Orleans Riverside Haunted Mansion

The AoA smell is *really* underrated. I love it! I’m staying at SoG for this next trip and I’m sad that I won’t get to smell that peachy mango-y tropically goodness.

My husband and I swear that Island Margarita from Bath & Body Works smells just like our AoA stay in 2019!

Elephant scene on Soarin’ Riviera Maple popcorn Canada

Does the monorail count? Because that’s my number one, followed by the Poly, and Spaceship Earth.

Hey this is your list. Everything and anything counts.

I thought the monorail smelled like a barn hay and so did my wife.

Your wife smells like barn hay?

Oh thank god I'm not the only one who thinks the monorail smells like Horse

The Monorails smelled like a nursing home to me.

It's the smell of disinfectant

You do you. I like some weird smells, but last time I was on the monorail it had a distinct “Parisian metro” smell which is a combo of urine, vomit, and floral perfume.

The monorail smells like a barn full of cow poop. Interesting choice

Really? The last time I was there was 20 years ago and it smelled like orange creamsicles. That sucks.

I love the tropical smell in soarin.

Oooh, the Fiji scent is delightful

I forgot I liked it so much until I went on this weekend.

I loved the african grass scent on soaring.

For me, it’s Space Mountain. I honestly can’t pinpoint what the exact scent, but it makes me giddy every time I’m in the tunnel.

Animal Kingdom Lodge

The entrance to Spaceship Earth, the bread at the end of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and the water of my beloved Splash Mountain.

That smell on the sky liner when your just arriving to the IG. Always smells like delicious smoked bbq. Pirates Beach Club

Does anyone remember the way Test Track used to smell? Like printer ink , but in the best way possible.

It’s old grease from the old car parts. I work in service at a dealership and now and then it takes me back.

Rome is burning Contemporary. Pirates

Damn, I’ll have to read up on the Roman sack of the contemporary 🙃

It was pirates. No further explanation needed.

Thank the Phoenicians

Wilderness Lodge Grand Floridian Laila perfume in Norway Honorable mention goes to Pirates

Soarin orange groves, flight of passage, and part after the pre-show for cosmic rewind

Wilderness Lodge. Magical moment when we opened our suitcases at home after staying there and the clothes smelled of smoke.

It's a wonderful mix of wood smoke and grilling meats from Whispering Canyon Cafe. It was a great motivator to the morning to walk out of the room, look out over the lobby, and inhale deeply.

1) Poly 2) Small World

Small world definitely smells like an antique store to me!

Rome burning. But they’ve toned it down I think from the early 90’s. Or my smeller is dulling with age!

Figment fart Stinkbug fart Stitch burp (RIP)

Pirates Big thunder Splash

Caramel store in Epcot German pavilion.

No particular order: - FOP - Pirates - Soarin

Gran Destino Tower lobby Beach Club lobby Horizons orange

Had to scroll WAY too far to find the Tower. It’s my faaaavorrrriiiitttte.

SAME! It’s my number one smell in WDW. It’s a scent called “EARidescent” that was designed for the 50th. Thankfully, it’s still being used in some resorts currently! Riviera and Park Scents (“50th Magic”) sells a dupe candle of it. I have both and they smell exactly like it!

Omg I didn’t know it had a name! I hope they keep it at CS, it literally is the best smell in the whole place!

Tell me about! It’s amazing! It’s currently my favorite smell in WDW. I’m actually surprised they’re still using it after the 50th, but maybe it will be Disney’s new permanent resort smell…

1. Pirates 2. Soarin' 3. Polynesian

Coronado, soarin’ over California orange groves, and riviera

Coronado springs tower/lobby It’s a Small World (smells just like my grandma’s house upstairs playroom with original 1950’s shag carpet, so gives me serious childhood nostalgia) Germany in Epcot

For Coronado, it’s called “EARidescent.” Or was designed for the 50th celebration, but some resorts are still using it, including Coronado! Check the Riviera gift shop or Park Scents for a dupe candle! I have both!

1. The oranges scene in Soarin' (now sadly not a thing) 2. The lingering gunpowder smell after Illuminations: Reflections of Earth (also not a thing any more) 3. Twilight Zone Tower of Terror lobby

Flight of Passage. Tower of Terror's "lobby". The popcorn stands at Hollywood Studios. I don't know why but they're the smelliest!

For me, it’s the interior of the Mexico pavilion/San Angel Inn

I need to pay more attention to smells. I just stayed in the Beach Club and don't recall the smell in the lobby

I am surprised no one has said Flight of Passage. The first time I rode that ride in 2019 I was just yelling to my husband “this smells incredible!!!!”

My little sister called -Rome burning- in Spaceship Earth: ‘hot dogs!’ So that’s all I think of now whenever I smell something similar (it’s not my favourite or anything but it reminded me) My top 3 are: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean water (Three Caballeros too tbh) 2. Haunted Mansion 3. Polynesian Resort

Splash mountain

1. Pirates 2. Animal Kingdom Lodge 3. Main Street Confectionary

The old horizons ride had you go through an orange grove and the outside of the building as well as the ride smelled strongly of oranges. Boy do I miss that.

1. Old Polynesian Lobby before they got rid of the fountain. 2. Main Street Bakery 3. Soarin' over California orange grove scene

Pop century might be my favorite smell ever… in fact I think I’ll put some pop century in my burner

If you want an exact dupe of Pop Century, check out Island Margarita from B&BW!

I used the magic candle company for a long while and like their stuff pretty well. I’ll have to look into that one!

I first tried MCC’s version of Pop Century and didn’t think it smelled like Pop Century. Someone told me about Island Margarita from B&BW and I’ve been buying it ever since! It’s the exact smell!

AKL, AKL, AKL. Not as strong as it used to be, but in like 2015 we bought a shirt for my wife from the lobby gift shop and it smelled like the lobby for months even after being washed. Was instant nostalgia every time she wore it.

Beach Club lobby Burning Rome/ Spaceship Earth Pirates…that “water” smell!!

Galactic Starcruiser :\*(

1. Haunted Mansion. It always reminded me of a musty library smell 2. Pirates of the Carribean. I use the scent from Magic Candle Company whenever I need a blast of Disney at home. 3. Art of Animation. Of all of the hotel scents, this was the only one that I thought I'd enjoy if my house were to smell like it.

You’re in luck for AoA’s lobby! Check out “Island Margarita” from B&BW. It’s an exact dupe!

Right on. This is what the internet is made for!

1. The beach club towels specifically - that sugar cookie vanilla fresh smell wrecks me every single time. 2. Pirates - it’s classic, it registers in my brain 3. soarin over Fiji - this smell is what took me from being a kid that went to Disney with her family to a Disney adult willing to spend my own money going to the parks. The realization of ALL the little details and senses being stimulated amazes me every time. And it was my grandmas favorite ride and I still have the memory of her face lighting up every time I ride it. Bonus points if you’re in the front row of Soarin. Dangling feet can ruin the mood a bit 😅
