Disney Introduces “Smellephants on Parade” to Enhance the Senses of Guests in Magic Kingdom

New Smelling Elephants Arrive at Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, is a place where guests can immerse themselves in a world of wonder and delightful smells. From the sweet treats at Main Street Confectionery to the musty aroma on the “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride, there is always something new to discover around every corner.

Starting in May, guests will have a new sensory experience to look forward to when Disney introduces “Smellephants on Parade” presented by Scentsy. This search-and-sniff adventure will take place at the Storybook Circus and will be a true treasure hunt for those who love scents.

As guests step into the land, they will be greeted by a casting call posted by Timothy Q. Mouse, who is looking for a “Whiff-sistant” to join Dumbo’s latest act. Search-and-sniffers can then pick up an illustrated map of the area and a sticker sheet at the ticket booth near Big Top Souvenirs.

The first “Smellephant” to be unveiled will be themed with the scent of popcorn, a popular circus snack. Additional statues will feature smells like churro and cotton candy. Once all installations are complete, there will be eight “Smellephant” statues scattered throughout the Storybook Circus section.

The interactive search-and-sniff experience will be complimentary and available to all guests, including those with sensitive noses. Disney has always believed that scent is a powerful sense that can enhance the overall guest experience in the parks. In fact, in 2019, Disney patented “scent blending” technology to create even more immersive experiences for guests.

Get ready to embark on a fragrant and fun adventure with the “Smellephants on Parade” at Magic Kingdom!
