Plus... A Little Magic
What creates that fragrance of magic; it’s the Smellitzer. Really! 
Story by BruceWDW
As every visitor very quickly learns, a walk around any Disney park will affect every one of your five senses. But it is the "smells" of Disney that sort of sneak up on you; and meant to be that way by design.
Smells matter in a Disney Park. Maybe it's a feeling of hunger when you first pass under the Train Station onto Main Street U.S.A. to the aroma of fresh popcorn; or down the block approaching the Main Street Bakery catching a whiff of just baked cookies. Perhaps it's your smile when orange groves pass below you as you soar over California; or when you cover your nose from the Stink Bug attack watching It's Tough to be a Bug.
GUEST POST - Pursuing the Magic

Character Dining at Walt Disney World
Deciding where we are going to eat is probably my most favorite part of planning our Walt Disney World trips. There are so many choices that it can be difficult to narrow it down. For us, we have so many favorites that we have a hard time leaving one off the list! Though there are many options for dining, I am going to focus this article on character dining. There are many benefits to character meals. For us, it is to see how our children will react to the characters without standing in line in the parks. When you are seated, your server will ask right away how the kids are with characters. They then will let the characters know your response.

About the Author:
I think watching a True-Life Adventure called The Living Desert started my enthusiastic love of Disney; I must have seen this film every year I was in elementary school. Of course there was the original Mickey Mouse Club which encouraged me to watch Walt Disney Presents (and its successors). Then the 1964-65 World's Fair introduced me to many new and future technologies (Wow, I can actually see people on the telephone!); but mostly it was the awe and imagination that Walt Disney infused into that exposition which started me on my present path. Much of my life's enjoyment has revolved to a great degree around the imagination and creations of Walt Disney, and to enjoy the work of those who he inspired. So where else would Mary Ann and I go on our honeymoon but Walt Disney World two years after it first opened, and the adult love story began (both my marriage and Disney devotions). Skip ahead to today, and I'm writing blogs and posting information for the world to act upon (particularly contests) and use (like the trip planning information in A World View). Two children and four grandchildren later, we still look forward to a Walt Disney World vacation, of course with family, but also just the two us absorbing and enjoying the most magical place on earth.
Again, good luck and have a magical day.
