WORST Smells at Walt Disney World | Best and Worst | 06/06/18

[@caitandrews533]

rhyno, you did such a good job hosting this! good job doing the talking, you sounded great and were very focused and put together. hopefully my comments make sense!!

[@dee_mcgee11]

cait andrews, thank you! We love Ryno! ♥️

[@kingposeidon4535]

One that no one ever talks about: The Oasis at Animal Kingdom. It smells like duck and/or parrot poop, amplified by the water in the exhibits.

[@disneyduchess889]

These aren't necessarily bad smells, but the perfume shops in Italy and France are overwhelming. As soon as you walk into either store, your nose is under a chemical assault and by the time you leave your nose is burning and your eyes are watering.

[@dee_mcgee11]

"I'ts like someone took 70 hard-boiled eggs and stuffed them inside a dead cat. The World According to Charles

[@BobSagetHero]

The handles on Splash Mountain. They smell like sweat, mold, and rubber that has been festering for decades in the hot sun. I cried once when I was a little kid because they made my hands smell so bad. Now I won't even touch them.

[@nolanboys]

Completely agree with Craig about Cape May. Just got back from a trip and we stayed at BCV. The seafood smell just lingers all day.

[@kevingreif5706]

I enjoy watching this group. They really are good at rolling out jokes continuously

[@jenniferg3837]

"The walls are painted with like a ghost fart" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@RileysDadRocks0]

I think that Pee smell that everyone is referring to on the monorail is the electronics from the track and the rail itself. You get the same smell on subways and metros

[@RileysDadRocks0]

Also if you notice if you have ever been in a theme park with those bumper cars with the metal hook that touches the metal grid on the ceiling, you have the same smell.

[@kimberlyphifer2391]

To me, it just smelled musty. Come on, it’s Florida, the humidity capital of the world. It’s gonna smell musty.

[@Kaybuxx]

You just mentioned 2 places where the homeless and wasted pee

[@reggierock3766]

@@kimberlyphifer2391 yea I don't smell pee just must and old moisture

[@jorgearnoldson3107]

The odor that really gets to me at Disney World is the fog effects. I don't know what kind of fog fluid they use to achieve that stench.

[@wendyward4227]

A couple of years ago my husband and I were in a very long queue for Peter Pan - one of my favorites which we hadn’t gotten a FP for - and there was a group behind us who were incredibly pungent to say the least.... During the 45 minute plus wait we ended up befriending a lovely woman from South America who wanted to practice her English and was a solo traveler. Turns out she was also bothered by the smell; so we encouraged her to become part of our party for the remainder of the queue and we ended up all riding together! This is the only happy ending type story I can come up with that began because of a whole group of folks who really needed Ryno’s freshening up tips 😉

[@StevenCenname]

I can't believe you missed the Figment ride skunk scene or Stitch's burp

[@jonvalett6708]

Yep, these were totally missed

[@theskullspookychannel6343]

Yeah,that skunk smell from Figment was disgusting

[@geensloth911]

I don't actually mind the figment skunk smell. I must be weird!😂

[@lils6410]

geensloth911 Agree. It’s gotten a lot less strong over the years. It used to be pretty bad back in around 2008.

[@ctrimbath828]

The "skunk" smell is actually coffee, so I really enjoy it. Lol

[@rebekahsedwick3511]

LOL Ryno's New England accent being super obvious when he says "TAAAARRget"

[@TheKapskid]

Thanks for tackling the important lists at Disney! These make my day. :-) True fans love talking about this crazy stuff.

[@astoldbyaria293]

I always feel like I'm closer to death whenever I'm near the speedway.

[@WonderlandRiots]

Can you do a Best and Worst for places to get an alcoholic drink?

[@mattfetzer]

WonderlandRiots is there really a BAD place to get alcohol? lol

[@WonderlandRiots]

Matthew Fetzer Anywhere kids are allowed basically lol! I like to get my drinks far from the rug rats.

[@shellykp33]

Then don't drink in Disney World.

[@WonderlandRiots]

shellykp33 No need to get snippy or get offended. Your comment reeks of parental self entitlement. Adults are allowed to enjoy themselves at Disney without kids around 24/7. Most of the people on the DIS don't have children so I'd like their opinions and Disney is working on developing their 21 and over nightlife again since Pleasure Island closed. There's no need to get upset because Adults who love Disney want some adult centric nightlife.

[@shellykp33]

And your comment reeks of "Passhole Syndrome" and CBC entitlement. "Rug rats"? Please. There are plenty of adults, parents or not, who prefer to enjoy Disney without the stench of alcohol in the air.

[@jacquehayes1984]

Sewer water in Splash Mountian😂Even though I love the ride!

[@TheCulady]

I've always said the monorail smells like a giant catbox!

[@devonalomar9012]

Mission Space ride compartments. Unsure if they've all been vomitted in or if subconsciously I just miss Horizons...

[@figaro19781025]

Women with very strong overwhelming perfume poured on in the hot humid heat right next to you on line.

[@janelleill]

There's a section of Epcot in China with the big indoor/outdoor shop where all the traditional clothing is; we like looking at everything, but never stay long because it smells really strongly of musty mildew. It's almost like old clothes that have been left in an attic for years without proper ventilation mixed with the carpeting getting wet and drying out many, many times. Every time it has this odor.. as though crowds walked through after it rained combined with the effects of high humidity on fabric. It's too bad, because there's some nice stuff in there.

[@wendymartin5802]

Watched this while I was eating. Bad idea😂

[@reneebarger5194]

Try being a 5ft nothing person jammed in between tall smelly people at arm pit level! The best thing I always carry is flushable wet wipes. They even sell them at Disney in cute Minnie/Mikey packets. Use to wipe yourselves and your kids. It's cooling, refreshing and eco friendly. I even had a lady in the Small World que ask me for some once. My husband (who's been a rock drummer for decades) has me carry a small can of spray powder for him. He also uses one of those sport cooling scarves.

[@disneyduchess889]

Renee Barger I too am 5ft nothing and I know exactly what you mean! What's worse is being in a que and the guy in front of you lets one loose. Your nose is the first to get assaulted.

[@KatsMeow715]

For me it was the chili dog smell from the abomination Stitch’s Great Escape. Oh my lord I can still smell it and I haven’t been in that show room in about 5 or 10 years. And yes the tunnel to fronteirland and Adventureland is the absolute worst too.

[@parkcastproductions2289]

Am I the only one that could smell the same exact smell from SGE on the bridge entering Adventureland from Main Street?

[@ItsKimOlson]

“Talk about immersive...” 😂😂😂

[@OMGBoomify]

Honestly as a car guy I love the smell of the speedway.

[@gsr888]

I used the monorail this past April and never had any bad smells while using it. Could be the crowds were low as well as the humidity.

[@elizabethgatsby3442]

I feel like Florida in particular has a weird 'outside' smell. Like sweat and phosphate.

[@jeffreyroot7346]

The Seven Year Twitch It's the sulphur in the ground and water all over Florida.

[@djacgators1]

I'm with Craig I love the smell of race cars. Club cool sticks to me and the floor is sticky enough if your not careful it will take your shoes off your feet.

[@ashleyarenal7327]

You guys missed the absolute WORST smell on property: The entire Little Mermaid show building at Hollywood Studios. It’s a show with mist, water, and bubbles in a carpet theater. The mildew smell in that building is real. Love you guys!!

[@Nathan-yg6wh]

My wife and I refer to the Innoventions area as the poop shoot. It's smelled like that for over 20 years.

[@jessfestt]

Hilarious episode!! Thank you guys 🙂

[@noellebobo]

I think all the Epcot locations mentioned smell because they are all connected to the tunnel that runs across Future World. I worked at Mouse Gear during my College Program, and I distinctly remember the rotting garbage smell of that tunnel. Your descriptions of the smells are spot on. Thanks for another great show!

[@pequadcob2009]

I was at Pop Century last month and smelled what could only be explained as wet dog. I believe it was the bushes, because I smelled it again on my walk from HS to the Boardwalk, and the same kind of bushes were along that path.

[@susankramer1477]

The same bushes line the walk between MK and the CR. To me, they smell like sour milk mixed with wet dog.

[@haleyt5714]

You guys talked about the Land pavilion in your best smells video, but I can't stand it in there. I don't know how else to describe it other than bad salami when I walk in. Like, old finger food with a bit of sweat mixed in. I wish I could somehow convince myself to smell things differently. P.S. It was awesome meeting you guys at Megacon Orlando!

[@terrymccormick611]

We noticed the Innoventions Hallway on our first trip two years ago. We thought it was a bathroom that needed cleaning. We thought Mousegears smelled very strong of petroleum....like the old blue Gap bags smelled in the 80’s.

[@ELSITAFERNANDEZ]

Where the other host?

[@BHGgamergirl88]

The odyssey center when it was open for the food and wine festival had a smell. It was weird because it gave me a nostalgic 70’s/80’s disney feel like I stepped back in time but that whole building had a very old dank smell to it and I’m sure and understand that’s from never being updated and closed up for very long periods of time

[@LoveField_1111]

You guys always crack me up! Great start to my day!!

[@swampsagacity4685]

Magic Kingdom-the Monorail, the Speedway, and Carousel of Progress (old, musty carpet) EPCOT-Innoventions West corridor, Perfume shops in France & Italy, Electric Umbrella (old carpet), Germany Pavilion (sauerkraut) Animal Kingdom-Oasis animal exhibits

[@technosworld2]

for Steve Porter, the history part of the Innoventions Walkway was put there for Epcot's 25th anniversary, as they had an exhibit in that room next to it, and it just stayed there ever since

[@danalmont8340]

Ironically, none of the worst smells are in Animal Kingdom.

[@TheItachiIshtar]

I've heard the utilidors underneath the Magic Kingdom smell of sewage, according to cast members I know who have worked there.

[@lils6410]

Matt C I went on a tour of Disney last December and part of it was the utilidors and I can confirm they smell awful.

[@sentientflute]

MusicalMadness 64 I’m going on that same tour in October. I hope it’s not too horrible!

[@lils6410]

sentientfloot It’s pretty much just that awful musty smell that resides in much of the indoor areas of the parks. You will very much enjoy the tour though.

[@AshleyyyJeannn]

I can confirm. They smell bad though because a lot of trash is brought out of the park down there. I think they do this so it doesn’t smell up the park?

[@njshore2239]

Rhyno you are getting better at this with each show - a pleasant surprise! Missing WDW

[@carriel3054]

The rotten laundry smell when someone is sweaty and/or rained on, then their shirt dries and they try to wear it a second time. Please bring enough clothes (especially t shirts) to change at least once mid-day or before dinner. And for the love of Pete (ha)... I don't care how hot you are... keep your damned shoes on!

[@taliamelo6086]

If you mash all these smells together you are about half way to the stench that is the Utilidor!

[@bradrules49]

Does anyone smell a weird jalapeño smell in the animal kingdom? Every time I’m there I smell something like that

[@Javachacin]

“THE BOYS THE BOYS” love to see all of you together, great chemistry, great input, if you decided to form a boy band I would be groupie # 1

[@TonyOneto]

So fun! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode!

[@annasamanthahazel]

I love the terrible smell of Club Cool! It’s rancid and sweet and the floor is sticky and it’s horrible but it’s horribly nostalgically great!

[@annasamanthahazel]

That goes for the monorail as well!

[@TinyBeauregard]

The pre-show area of Voyage of the Little Mermaid at DHS. Was just there for the first time and it was a stale urine smell, akin to a NYC subway tunnel.

[@glowgloria5449]

All of this info is so true. Thanks for making it public 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@GiaBlinks]

Best and worst things to do to avoid crowds. For example, the few times I've been, I would find less of a wait time for attractions while the shows/parades/fireworks were going on, so that would have been my best time to try and get on some of the more popular attractions. Is that still true? I'm sure Spring Break would be a worst time to plan a trip, is there even a best time anymore? Is there a peak time of day that I should just go back to the hotel for a nap or a swim, and go back to the park later? Is there a day of the week that is typically a little slower? Like, if I go to the MK, during the school year, on a Monday morning, would that be any less crowded than a Saturday? I really hate crowds, but I do want to experience Disney every once in a while.

[@boredmillionaire9914]

yeah, at DL there’s some sort of old crusty sweaty smell that’s at random places, like the Astro Blasters store. Or at POTC when you were coming back around at that last part there used to be some weird crusty smell there. OH then at TL at DL next to the Traders store entrance there used to be this gross maple siropy smell, like wth was that. I remember smelling random Subway too. This was all 2014-15.

[@Anonyname313]

I have so much pity for the cast members who work in the Innoventions walkway and Mousegears area. Their nostrils must be burnt from the diaper smuggler/sewer scent.

[@largol33t1]

If they worked there for a while, I think their noses would be used to the smell and they don't find it as strong as a visitor would.

[@TeressaMS]

Great episode like always. Ryno you’re hilarious. What’s this oil? It’s human 😂😂

[@hollyfeikens3936]

The smell in Innoventions, Club Cool, Mouse Gear, etc is probably from the utilidors underneath.

[@KoubuPilot]

Fluff? That's a new one. There's also barking spiders and someone sitting on a duck.

[@sobeida87]

Maybe they recycle the playhouse Disney poopy carpets and put them in the Epcot hallways

[@SalivatingSteve]

Idk if Disney world Star Tours has this problem, but there is a smell to Star Tours at Disneyland. As soon as you walk in the building it smells of hydraulic fluid like an old elevator. The Indiana Jones queue has a kind of sulfur smell, idk if it's from the gas used for the fire effects, or the jungle cruise next door.

[@victoriaa8133]

Rhyno killed it this episode!! He’s doing awesome!

[@housevinyl4640]

The first "real" restroom (non-portapotty) on any Run Disney course. Like a campground vault toilet on a hot day. It's best to run a bit further to the next one.

[@elainegilmartin7103]

Good suggestion to plan for a freshen up during the day, makes sense with the heat and humidity

[@Warren-kh1pb]

I'm a big fan of the smell of Dinosaur as you're boarding the ride vehicle. I've always thought it must be the hydraulic fluid or some sort of cleaner they use on the ride, since large hydraulic actuators are used to give each vehicle the rocking/tilting motion.

[@JeanLucCanas]

The speedway makes me feel sick when I walk by it. I've never been on it because of the smell. I usually try to hold my breath when I walk by.

[@CaptainJacksPearl]

Thought of a video idea for you guys (if it doesn't exist already). I'm getting married at the Disney boardwalk this October and have been debating with myself what the most magical transportation to the magic kingdom for my not-so-disney obsessed friends would be (many who have never been there), monorail or ferry boat? Would love to hear your input! Love your videos!

[@lindseysellers4423]

Diaper smuggler hallway 😅 lol. Ryno is hysterical.

[@justimagine2403]

Ugh, worst conversation ever but so spot on.

[@melissaslater5943]

For me - if it is a smell I associate with Disney - it's a happy smell. I try not to smell the humanity around me however. And some of the bathrooms are just gross. I do carry all kinds of wet wipes with me though...

[@kathykelch4202]

Actually for my son the water on the Pirates ride is the worst smell for him. To him it smells like sulfur water it it makes him sick to his stomach. This is ironic since this was mentioned as many people's favorite smell.

[@elainekantner8363]

Love you guys your hilarious.

[@scottgagnon530]

1. How did you guys get through this without mentioning the bat house over at Animal Kingdom? 2. One of my dearest friends was a cast member at Epcot and spent an entire summer waist-deep in a cranberry bog that was sponsored by Ocean Spray and put out on display in Future World. She assures me that the odor, among other things, was something to behold.

[@aprildakota]

Scott Gagnon dear god yes! What on earth is worse than those bats?!?

[@hollymanners9340]

Love this episode! I'm not sure how often you guys walk between the Epcot area hotels and Hollywood Studios but underneath the bridge and along that walkway it smells like boiled eggs and manure. I basically have to run and hold my breath every time. Haha

[@chatterfun6162]

Interesting comments on the "people smell". I bring a change of clothes for mid-day in the car...very easy when we park hop but in general it makes everyone, including the kids (who generally don't care).feel better. My husband bought a shirt once just to freshen up because he forgot his change of clothes. Also, he hates the smell of Space Mountain. To the point he won't ride it.

[@lebabies]

Yeah, the horse smell is strong the entire time you’re waiting for the busses at Ft Wilderness. A major design flaw.

[@amandabeck8929]

Speedway is the worst for sure. I can deal with B.O. but I literally can't breathe when I get too close to that Speedway.

[@rmannayr2129]

WORST SMELL: SOMEONE FARTING!!!!!!!!

[@Brooke_Ashley]

For me it’s the smell in Epcot’s “Culture of Cute” in the Japan Pavilion. I love the display but it just smells like plastic and poop in there. :(

[@mcd316]

The worst smell in Epcot is gone!!! The breezeway behind Club Cool (Coke which used to be Ice Station Cool) smells so fresh and sterile now. It used to smell like rotten candy that someone puked mixed with a nasty baby diaper. But now not a whiff of bad scent is left! It looks to be like the carpet may have been replaced, if not they finally did a much needed detailed cleaning.

[@christopherfelipe60]

I wish they take out speedway ....it's time put another ride

[@tiffprendergast]

christopher felipe they did

[@kiskaloo6843]

The smell of cigarettes and e-cigarettes anywhere that is not a designated smoking area. Just got back last week and I got very pissed off by the number of younger guests, probably grad students, who happily lit up wherever they wanted and even tried to argue that e-cigs are not cigarettes when I asked them not to smoke where they were, they weren't the only culprits, far too many guests ignore smoking areas and light up wherever and CMs do nothing, I think they are scared to tackle them. If you think e-cigs are not the same as cigarettes then try using them on a plane and see what happens. regarding the smoking area in MK, people were smoking from the Space mountain area right through to Barnstormer, not just in the designated area.

[@thelittlebigscreen8791]

The sickly sweet “rum” smell on Pirates of the Caribbean, right by the drunk pirate! It makes my stomach churn. Worse still, my boat got stuck right in that part once.

[@graefe827]

The Little Big Screen--agree completely! To me it smells like rotten and moldy baked beans. And it's strong and it lingers.

[@shellykp33]

I can't believe the Mission Space exit hallway isn't on this list. I can only imagine that it smells like vomit in there 100% of the time.

[@yeemcgee8149]

Club cool has that innovention smell too. It smells how Beverly Tastes

[@billdold2736]

Or your father lets the most disgusting smelling fart go right when the monorail doors are closing and you're trapped smelling it for 20 minutes. 😂

[@levelman4214]

We got stuck behind a man in the Q for Primeval Whirl that smelled so bad i don't think he bathed in days,and the worst part was we were down wind of him from the cooling fans in the line the whole wait time.

[@dee_mcgee11]

That's just another reason for me not to ride Primevil Whirl lol

[@nicolastewart5909]

And then you had to ride Privemal Whirl

[@mayelact8139]

everyone was really funny this episode

[@mckennawalters2789]

I’m with Ryno, I like the smell of Dinosaur, but I also love the ride :)

[@camaro6813]

Great Job Ryno!!

[@kb7529]

Monorail 🚝 was the worst ever, don’t think I could use them again unless I put some vicks vapour rub under my nose🤢2nd Tomorrowland speedway, feel so sorry for people that work on that attraction x

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

More entertaining than I expected it to be!

[@FUNSPONGERUNS]

Mouse gears and innoventions smell because of the bathroom attached to the building.

[@kitsunemetal]

They really need to change the fuel for the raceway.

[@mikedonley1287]

I found Ryno's comment about him using spray funny. It used to be, that when you went to a rock concert, all you'd smell was the pot being smoked - Lately they just have that terrible smell of Axe Body Spray. Do young men think that girls really like that smell?

[@sandraweilbrenner67]

Oh yeah the stretching room in the haunted mansion always smells

[@strilpatch]

yes! walking through the hallway at the end of dinosaur is awful. has to be the worst smell

[@andreaobrien7631]

I’m a fan of the Speedway smell, my favorite part of the People Mover.

[@keouine]

If Ryno can make a joke about Italians smoke, then he should allow Craiggles' soy sauce comment.

[@cecem.9921]

My next trip to WDW will include ‘worst smells locations’ by the DIS Unplugged! 🤗

[@hippityhoppity3720]

I don't know what it is but there's an awful smell in some of the Frontierland shops and I believe one of the restaurants. I have to hold my breath every time I pass because it smells like garbage!
