Work is now underway in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, as preparation begins to install the set pieces for the new Smellephants on Parade interactive activity.

Support columns and directional lighting are now in place near the entrance of Dumbo and Big Top Souvenirs, along with signage saying "New Act Debuting Soon."

Additionally, the ticket booth in front of Big Top Souvenirs has been removed to be updated for new activity.

Guests entering Storybook Circus will find a casting call from Timothy Q. Mouse, seeking out a "Whiff-sistant" to join Dumbo's newest act. At the ticket booth in front of Big Top Souvenirs, Cast Members will provide a map and sticker sheet to guide guests in their training. "Whiff-sistants" in training will explore Storybook Circus to find a number of Smellephants statues, each with a unique, circus-inspired fragrance - popcorn being one of them.



Scentsy will also sponsor Dumbo attraction as part of the multi-year partnership.

Scentsy entered into a multi-year relationship with the Walt Disney World Resort in 2021, which included the new experience in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, an exhibit at the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, and becoming the Official Home Fragrance of Walt Disney World.

True. Remove the logo. Tie them in directly to Dumbo, which they are now.

and even then, its a very easy rebranding operation to remove the logo. I would expect these to be here for years.

I believe this is a multi-year partnership, I would imagine these aren’t going anywhere until Scentsy stops writing checks

This is a real question- will these be sticking around until end of year or are these just for summer? We'd enjoy seeing them.

My 15 year old daughter and her friend will LOOOVE this. But we usually go a little slower. Will probably do the pirates Scavenger hunt at least once too on our trip.

Seems like a clever addition, but I wonder how many will go to the trouble to experience it. If my recent trip with a family of three with an 8yo boy is any indication, not many. It will be all about maximizing VQ/G+/ILL to get your best bang for your buck out of the park. No time to "stop and smell the elephants."

Ah, reminds me of myself when I get off the plane at MCO and that first wave of humidity hits you on the jet walk… Or visiting Animal Kingdom. 😁 -
