In May, Magic Kingdom is set to unveil a new sensory experience with the introduction of “Smellephants on Parade” presented by Scentsy. This installation will offer guests an interactive search-and-sniff experience in the Storybook Circus area, where they can explore different scents through themed statues.
Upon entering the land, visitors will be greeted by a casting call posted by Timothy Q. Mouse, looking for a “Whiff-sistant” to join Dumbo’s newest act. Guests can pick up an illustrated map and sticker sheet at the ticket booth in front of Big Top Souvenirs to guide them through the experience.
The first “Smellephant” statue will feature the scent of popcorn, with additional statues themed with smells such as churro and cotton candy. Once complete, there will be a total of eight “Smellephant” statues to discover in the Storybook Circus area.
This complimentary and voluntary experience is designed for all guests to enjoy, including those with sensitive noses. Disney has a history of incorporating scents into its parks to enhance the overall guest experience, with patented scent blending technology to create memorable smells.
“Smellephants on Parade” is just one of Disney’s ongoing efforts to make Magic Kingdom an immersive and magical destination for visitors of all ages to enjoy.
