We loved the smell of the library burning that we got wax melts scented with that smell. Eeeeech. You don't want your home smelling like that.

We were just at Disney World this past weekend and the only smell that is staying with me after this trip is the one on the Monorail! I even said it out loud that it "smells like an Elephant barn!" No kidding, hay mixed with all the things that the hay catches! it was bad! and it was under 55 degrees outside!! can't blame sweating people for it. They really need air fresheners onboard!

I remember the smell of oranges on Horizons. There was a great scene about the future of farming. Loved that ride. Miss it.

The inside of the monorail has one of the most distinct smells in all of Disney! Like the water rides, there is that anticipation of riding to the Magic Kingdom associated with the smell, whether you like it or not.

Before Soarin', Horizons had the orange grove smell. When I smell it it takes me back to my wonderful memories or Horizons.

I love the smell of waiting in line at the pirates of the Caribbean, that musty smell excites me for what's coming next.

How about the "Be Our Guest" scene during Mickey's Philharmagic? I remember being blown away when I smelled that. One of my absolute favorite smells!

The smell of Pirates brings tears to my eyes, brings me instantly back to being 7 years old at DL, eating at the restaurant that used to be inside the ride building (can't remember the name). Still today makes me miss my mom :)

You think the smell of the burning of the library of Alexandria in Spaceship Earth smells good??? OMG you must be joking. That smell gags me! It's like sulfur and rotten eggs. I always use my husband's shirt sleeve to protect me from choking. (Otherwise I LOVE that ride)

Rome burning on Spaceship Earth doesn't evoke pleasant memories of a barbecue if you've been in a house fire as my family has. THAT is what smoldering wood smells like. We had a fire in Y2K, lost our home, and barely escaped with our lives. It's taken about ten years to not have a PTSD moment during that part of the ride... but it still smells like a house fire.

Don't forget the smell of the interior (probably just the AC system) of Space Mountain.

How could you forget to mention the pungent aroma of unwashed tourists sweating in the FL sun?! Nothing quite says "I'm at Disney" like being in a ride line, squished between two tour groups from countries with questionable hygiene standards.

My favorite scent at WDW is TURKY LEGS! On Main Street I believe they pipe in fragrance like at Disneyland but you can't see the vents. By the candy and ice-cream shop I think it smells like waffle cones or vanilla.

I love the smells of sweets on Main Street in the MK. It mixes with the popcorn for a memory like no other. One more is the smell of Boma at AKL. It is always there, smells so good, and makes you hungry for their delicious menu!

What about the burp on Stitchs great escape or the skunk on figment
