Summary

The smells at the Disney Parks and Resorts make for some of the most emotional memories on a Disney Vacation. Whether we're visiting Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, or any other Disney destination, what we smell is not only memorable but also completely intentional. Whether it's the savory smell of popcorn walking down Main Street USA, the soothing smell of lavender in a Disney Resort lobby, the musty smell of dust at the Haunted Mansion, or the sweet smell of pie at Mickey's Philharmagic, Disney knows that our olfactory senses are our strongest. The scents at Disney are meant to immerse us into a new world and evoke specific emotions, which is why Disney spends a great deal of time matching the right scent to each part of an attraction, store, restaurant, hotel, or land. It's also why most Disney fans recall these smells so fondly, even those that are sometimes unintentional. In today's episode we'll explore our favorite smells at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line. We'll also discuss the reasons we picked each smell and why we feel that the power of scent makes for some of our most emotional Disney memories. Joining me on today's podcast are Philander (you can follow him on Instagram @philanderc85) and a new guest, Lisa DiNoto-Glassner. Lisa is not only the mastermind behind The Castle Run (follow her on Instagram @thecastlerunner) but also the genius who brought us Core Memory Candles. Friends, if you're missing the smells at Disney, please be sure to give Core Memory Candles a try. As a lifelong Disney fan, I have never been this impressed with Disney-inspired candles (yes, that includes those big name companies you're thinking of right now). I light a Core Memory Candle just about every single day and will continue to endorse Lisa's candles at no cost to her. I am a huge fan! You can see how much I love these candles in one of my YouTube videos. The Grand, Ocean Flight, Fall of Rome, Castillo Del Morro and Riviera are just a few of my favorites. Try and I promise you won't be disappointed! To turn the conversation over to you, which smells at Disney do you love the most?

The Hello and welcome to The Imagineer Podcast, your unofficial guide to all things Disney.

0:46.3

I'm your host, Matthew Krull, and you're listening to Episode 99 of the Imagineer podcast.

0:53.9

Today we're going to geek out about a subject that I think if you're a Disney fan, Episode 99 of the Imagineer podcast.

1:11.6

Today we're going to geek out about a subject that I think if you're a Disney fan who has been to Walt Disney World or Disneyland or, for that matter, any other Disney destination is something you've thought about, whether you've actively thought about it or just subconsciously have recalled this topic. And that is your favorite, or our favorite in this case, smells at the Disney Parks, including

1:18.6

Disney Cruise Line.

1:19.6

If you've been to the Disney Parks before, you know that scent is one of the most critical

1:25.6

parts and of course the most sensory to your Disney experience.

1:31.3

It's very intentional. Disney works hard to create intentional smells at a number of attractions

1:38.3

and resorts and other places around the parks. But there's also, as you'll hear in this episode, a few unintentional sense,

1:46.0

things that Disney didn't necessarily create, but that just happened to trigger some memories

1:50.6

of pleasant trips to Walt Disney World or to Disneyland or, again, to any other Disney destination.

1:58.3

I have a couple of guests who I'll introduce in just a few minutes who

2:00.9

I'm so grateful lent a couple hours of their time to talking about this subject in what other

2:07.5

community than the Disney community would you spend a couple of hours talking about sense.

2:12.1

That's of course because like I said, the smells at Disney are so iconic and I think it is a place of coming together

2:21.3

that all of us collectively, those of us talking in this episode and those of you listening

2:26.3

can probably relate to smells at Disney being some of the most memorable parts of your Disney vacation.

2:35.0

And if you smell it elsewhere, it'll bring you right back.

2:37.9

So I'm so excited to have this conversation with my special guests today.

2:42.7

And then we'll also turn it over to you to continue the conversation beyond this episode.

2:48.7

At the end of the episode, I'll come back and tell you a little bit more about how you can
