Sound...possibly the part with the "Pretty Good Sure as Your Born" song in Splash Mountain.

I really love the smell by the Main Street Bakery.

I love the sight of the front gate when we first get there.

What a great post, Lauren!

Sound: The music around the big fountain at Epcot, when it REALLY gets going Smile
Smell: I agree with Brad - the Main St Bakery (pssst...there's Disney Magic involved there.)
Sight: I love the castle, but Spaceship Earth is my favorite sight. I just love Epcot and I'm 12 for 3 seconds everytime I arrive.

My favorite sight is the Welcome to Disney sign at the entrance!

My favorite smell might just be the orange grove on Soarin'! (but a bakery? Who can pass up those smells! *swoon*)

And favorite sound - the music on Rock N Roller Coaster clapping

Lalenalily - I don't know if this is the most appropriate place to ask this, but do they give you any kind of special accommodations at different attractions - like scripts or anything? For example, if you go to Great Movie Ride, do they have a way for you to get the experience of the patter at all?

Sorry for the thread hijack, but I always wondered how Disney accommodated deaf people on some of the rides/attractions...

Oh, I dont mind people asking me questions. I only used rear window captioning and sign language interpreters few times. But most of the times, I don't use them. In fact, my last trip, I didn't use one thing. When I went to SpaceShip Earth 2 years ago, I was handed a script and a flashlight. It was helpful, but I rather handheld device or captioning. I think it is much better than struggling in the dark to read with a flashlight.

Most cast members would ask me - They always saw me signing to my husband and they would ask me if we need anything. I rarely had to ask.

I'll let Lizzy tell you, if she wants to, since she mentioned it first.

Interesting - thanks for answering.

I have a friend who's hearing impaired, though I guess he hears well enough that he doesn't need extra assistance usually. I always wondered how it would work for him in the parks if it got worse (his hearing goes in and out - sometimes better than others).

I like this one!

Sight: Has to be the Castle during Christmas Time.

Sound: Any of the live music. Mulch Sweat and Shears and such...

Smell: This one is going to be hard to explain. Riding in Spaceship Earth, there is a part in it when things are destroyed and it smells has this overwhelming smell. This is the smell I love! It reminds me of BBQ. I know in thinking of that with what they are trying to explain... but I always love riding that ride and getting to that point because that smell has NEVER changed! It has been the same since I was a kid, and just love it!

I missed doing this- but I think we've said it someplace else. They add a little extra "mmph" to the wonderful Main St Bakery by sending vanilla essence out through the vents. But this in no way diminishes the fabulous treats found inside Smile

I agree Mase - I love the smell of Rome falling! lol

thanks whoever resurrected this post, it's nice to think about!
Sight: castle from Main St. and fireworks over the castle, plus Tink doing her zip-line
Sound: like: CoP song, Main St. music and OFF KILTER - they rock! dislike: electric parade electronic "music", after about 5 minutes it gives me a headache, and It's a small world - a bad earworm that I can't get rid of!
smell: fish n chips in England, and although it can be a bit overwhelming, the perfume stores in Italy and France smell so good
