Disney’s “Sewage Smell” Is Back and WORSE Than Ever

Yucky!

Picture this: you are walking down Main Street, U.S.A., and taking in all of the sights, sounds, and smells of the Parks. Smells of freshly popped popcorn, delectable churros, and mouthwatering turkey legs fill your nose. On a day-to-day basis, Disney typically smells delicious. In fact, smelling good is a huge part of the Disney Parks brand. Disney is constantly pumping delicious smells into the streets of the Parks in order to surround Guests with a welcoming and inviting scent.

Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

What Is That Smell?

For the millions of Guests who vacation at Disney Parks every year, escaping reality is the goal. Guests love feeling like they are in the “Disney Bubble,” meaning they want to be detached from the real world and fully immersed in the wonder and joy of Disney. Disney makes this happen by executing the highest caliber of theming in their Disney Parks. Each theme park is meticulously crafted to create the most immersive area possible. Any Guest can tell you that the results are quite magical.

However, a huge element of Disney’s theming has taken a major slip as of late. Guests visiting Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, have been reporting a strong, bad smell when wandering the Parks. Guests compare the odor to that of a sewer!
