Kaleb, thank you for coming to planDisney with your grand question!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is my favorite
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. I love the Victorian and luxurious feel of the resort when relaxing by the pool after a long day at the parks. Throw a Cucumber & Mint Vojito or Frosé in the mix from
Beaches Pool Bar & Grill, and I am the happiest person in the Most Magical Place on Earth!
I, too, love the smells around the Walt Disney World Resort. To me, the smells from rides like
Pirates of the Caribbean and
Soarin' Around the World or resorts like
Disney’s Beach Club and the Grand Floridian enhance my vacation experience. When I am home, I try to recreate those fantastic scents to mentally take me back to vacation.
Unfortunately, Disney is tight lipped on what the scents exactly are, however, luckily for you (and me), I have some things that will point you in the right direction. If you didn’t get a chance to swing by Basin White on the second floor of the lobby near the monorail during your stay, you must pay them a visit on your next vacation. This location and the
location at Disney Springs offer various bath and body products like bath salts and soaps. One of the scents they carry is called “Isn’t it Grand.” It smells exactly like the Grand Floridian lobby and is based on green clover aloe.
I would also recommend doing a quick online search of companies that make products that mentally transport you back to Disney when you can’t be there physically. Give that a try, and maybe you will find something close enough!
Did you happen to visit the
Enchanted Rose while you enjoyed your stay? My wife and I love to find seats in the library to grab a signature cocktail and munch on the House-made Truffle Fries. No matter how hard I try, I don’t think there is recreating how delicious those are!
I hope this helps, Kaleb.
