POC and the Haunted Mansion both have distinctive scents that I can recall even as a child. Disney parks supposedly employ a machine called the Smellitzer at certain places. I'm wondering if it is used on these rides. I know I can't walk past the Candy Palace without stopping in for a bite as the scent is intoxicatingly delicious. There was a discussion about this on the Hidden Mickeys web site as well.

The first incarnation of the 'Imagination' pavilion employed the smell of purfume -- 'A Bug's Life' uses the stinky smell for the stink bug... As for 'Pirates' and 'Haunted Mansion' -- I think they just smell like that! :) One of my favorite smells was the flower bed outside of Tomorrowland. It was always filled with marigolds, and gave off a wonderful fragrance. Just the other day, I bought some marigolds for my backyard -- took a whiff and thought 'Hey, that smells like Disneyland.' I've written this before, but as a kid standing on Main Street before rope drop, the smell of wet asphalt, coffee, and cigarette smoke was a wonderful anticipatory scent. We were in Disneyland!

I'm sure the pirates are a bit musty after all these years. lol Funny thing, I had a Read-a-long book and record of the Haunted Mansion as a kid and (I promise I don't go around smelling everything.) it smelled just like the ride.

7	Walter Elias Thu 6/19/2008 12:58p	Thanx, SoThisIsLove! I wish I had found this site sooner. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting crazycroc, but I will be on the lookout.

I only added that link just in case you or anyone else wanted to see what had been said previously. Sometimes it's nice to see some of the old topics revived and given a fresh perspective. Welcome to LP!!!! it's really good to have you with us and I hope you come to love it here as much as I do. It's a wonderful community and very quickly becomes "family". STiL, twin sis, what am I going to do with you and what will poor Walter think of us??? I'm postin the thread you were referring to.
