Hello, Grace! Thanks so much for reaching out to us here at planDisney!
Like stepping into
the Beast’s castle, there’s something truly magical about the way the
Walt Disney World Resort welcomes you. It draws you in and makes each moment feel special in a way that lingers long after you leave.
The smells and scents at Walt Disney World are just one of the things that make this place stand out.
Walt Disney Imagineers have long used scent to evoke a feeling of being immersed in (and enticed by) an environment. Hands down, my favorite is the scent that wafts through
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in
Magic Kingdom Park and
Disney's Days of Christmas in
Disney Springs. If they bottled up that fragrance, I’d buy truckloads in any and every form imaginable! And you better believe I’d carry that lotion around with me like
Belle keeping the Beast’s enchanted mirror close at hand.
Now, my new friend, you are asking the question we all want the answer to. Currently, the lotion that is used in the
Disney Resorts Collection Hotels is not for sale at the resort. I know that feels like one of those moments where the magic is just out of reach, like the last petal on the enchanted rose. But you can likely find some candles at a variety of merchandise locations that provide scents similar to those used in some of the hotel lobbies. You will also find some wonderful Disney-themed scents in bath and soap products at
Basin in Disney Springs, helping you bring a little bit of that “tale as old as time” feeling home with you.
Every once in a while, Bath & Body Works comes out with a line inspired by some of our favorite Disney characters. Just recently, they released
a line of Disney Princess-inspired scents, and some of these products are still for sale. My personal favorite from this collection is the Life’s a Fairytale scent. It has notes of charming berries, floral fairytale, and kingdom woods. Did I just spray a puff of the fine fragrance mist to brighten up the room I'm in? Possibly! It’s the kind of scent that feels like it belongs right alongside Belle’s books and roses, adding a little extra magic to an ordinary day. Plus, there’s even a Belle-inspired scent in the collection!
Grace, best wishes in finding the scent of your dreams. I hope it brings you and your mom memories of your vacation and the special time you spent together at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa! After all, even the smallest details can become part of a story you carry with you, long after the moment has passed. If you have any other questions,
I’m here for you.
With a touch of enchantment,
Matt
