    Default Scents that remind you of Disney World??

    I bought this car air freshner recently that smells identical to the scent that you smell while going through the orange grove during Soarin'. I swear every time I get into my car I wish I were at Disney instead

    What smells remind you of Disney?

    My stinky car reminds me of the monorail. Apple pie reminds me of philharmagic. Chocolate chip cookies remind me of Main Street. I could go on but basically everything reminds me of Disney .

    This is an odd one....

    Whenever I smell high concentrated quantities of exhaust, it totally takes me back to when I was a kid and we would drive into WDW. The parking lot and the tram always have that smell and I associate it with going to the MK!

    I am so weird...probably because I used to breathe deaply in my excitement and wanting to savor every moment...probably lost a few brain cells that way!
    It is my dream to one day pilot the monorails around the Seven Seas Lagoon....where's my star!!!

    Default A Weird One

    When we go to check in for the first time on a trip, right when we walk into the resort I smell a distinct smell of the resort.

    One time last year after the building where my bank is in downtown Indianapolis just finished remodeling, I walked in to go to my bank. Right as I walked through the door into the building...boom! It hit me like a ton of bricks. The smell of a Disney resort. I probably looked foolish. But I stood there for a second or two with my eyes closed and just pictured myself in Pop Century.

    Must be the same cleaning supplies.

    I love going to my bank now. Silly, huh?

    Anything that resembles the smell of Rome burning on SSE. I was at a flea market and they had a candle that smelled exactly like it. I almost got one, but I knew that if I used it I would always think my house was on fire!

    I'm the same way. It seems you can smell the perfumes and cologne of Norway from the whole east side of the World Showcase.

    Also, sometimes I'll smell the scent of air conditioning of a large building and it reminds me of my summer trip to WDW. That smell was the scent of escaping the blistering Florida heat.

    Chlorine! For whatever reason, whenever I smell chlorine, I'm reminded of IASW. I don't know why, chlorine is everywhere, not just Disney, and certainly not just IASW, but that's what it reminds me of. Makes me happy

    On our first family trip to the world (05/2006) we bought new luggage. It was our first time to fly anywhere as a family and really our first 'big' vacation.

    Everytime I open that luggage, it takes me to Disney...love it!!!!!

    The distintive smell of the water attractions at WDW (IASW, Splash Mtn., etc.) isn't chlorine, its Bromine. WDW uses Bromine generators to treat the water in its attractions and water features, and that smell is a very strong memory maker for me. Bromine is better for the environment and causes less skin and eye irritation. But it is a little different smell than Chlorine. That's why it has a distinctive "Disney" memory smell for me and every chlorine treated swimming pool doesn't make me think of WDW. Bromine treated pools are not as common because the Bromine generators are more expensive and now salt-treated pools are becoming more common. The Bromine odor is very strong in the indoor part of the queue at Splash. Bromine is used at Islands of Adventure water attractions, too.

    All week when I was in WDW, I used the Blue Spa (or whatever they're called) products they supplied. Since I was solo, I ended the week with lots of unused product which I brought home. Now whenever I use that, I feel I'm back in WDW. I'd love to get a car freshener that smelled like Soarin oranges-what kind was it?

    The monorail has such a distinct smell that I've never smelled it anywhere else. I'm not sure if it's musty or what, but I love that smell...call me weird. I also love the smell of the Poly resort lobby. Another distinctive smell.

    I bought a bottle of perfume at the gift shop in the Poly. It is called Wicked Wahine and it is so tropical. It definately reminds me of Disney!!!

    I travel a lot, so I equate different smells with WDW.

    . . . airport cinnabon stands --- main street bakery
    . . . jet fuel in the morning --- ttc ferry boat
    . . . luggage sweat socks --- monorail in summer
    . . . fresh sheets at hotel --- space mountain
    . . . burnt toast at the breakfast buffet --- spaceship earth rome scene
    . . .crowding at baggage claim conveyor --- mermaid inside queue area
    . . . pulling carry-on's through airport --- babysitting granddaughters
    . . . running through terminal to catch a flight --- race to soarin' fastpass machines
    . . . baby crying mid-flight --- baby crying mid-flight to WDW
