I am having one of those 'feel like posting" days today- :) I just lit Autumn Lodge and it just took me back to the lobby at Wilderness Lodge- Drats though its been retired so I have to use it sparingly! Just when I need a VWL fix- another scent that sends me to WDW is Pink Carnation (again...retired-) reminds me of the Flower and Garden Festival last May-
Any favorite scents that you associate with your home resort or WDW in general?

I never thought of Yankee Candle that way. I prefer spicy smells, and some of the water fragrances (like Ocean Breeze), some fruit smells (the tropical ones), cookie smells (Chocolate Chip and Christmas Cookie), and a few random other scents (Fireside, Witch's Brew).
I'll have to go through my collection and see if any remind me of Disney. I guess Fireside (also discontinued) has a good chance of either Wilderness Lodge or Kali River Rapids.
What Yankee Candle needs to do is create a smell like the waffles being baked at the Ice Cream Parlor or the smell that wafts out of the bakery.

Mmmmm.....Chocolate Chip cookie...reminds me of walking down Main Street USA! :jumpingbe
Your right about Fireside I betcha would remind me of Kali too- :)
Pinapple Citrus...the POLY!
and Key Lime Pie....OKW!
My dd would always laugh at me when we got off the plane in Orlando. I would take a deep breath and she would tell me that if Yankee Candle invented a "Muggy Airport" scent I would be all over that one- :hahahaha:
Now I need a Yankee Candle fix! LOL!!

OMG...I thought I was the only one who loved that smell! :jumpingbe DS caught me last time taking a deep breath as we got off the plane and asked if I was ok. I told him "I am now!"
It's not a Yankee Candle scent, but the box my Lancome pressed powder comes in smells like the room where everything is white in the original Imagination ride! Nobody has any idea what I am talking about when I mention that LOL As soon as I get a new box, I just close my eyes and take the aroma in...my DH thinks I've lost it!

I checked out the Yankee Candle website. No Saratoga, must've been discontinued?

Drats! I looked thru my Yankee Candle stash of votives to see if I had any left and of course I didn't- :( I was going to send them to you- I will check with my local YC:coolcar: to see if they have any left- :) Sometimes the retail stores have them when they are listed as sold out or discontinued on the site-
