When planning attractions in his parks, Walt Disney insisted
they look amazing from far away, from a middle distance, and in close-ups. All
that eye candy is the first thing anyone notices while visiting a Disney theme
park. But the real magic in a Disney vacation is that it’s a multi-sensual affair.
Every area of every park comes with its own soundtrack. Music envelops you as
you queue at the entrance, surrounding you until you head back out. Perhaps the
most creative part of the experience is how the park SMELLS. The Magic Kingdom’s
entrance is designed to feel like a theater lobby. It makes sense that it smells
like popcorn. A stop at Pirates of the Caribbean comes with the aroma of
gunpowder and seawater. Cinnamon wafts from the shops on Main Street USA. The
Haunted Mansion smells of dust and flowers. Most guests never notice them, but
clever diffusers called Smellitizers pump specific odors all through the park.
