In the whimsical and bustling worlds of Disneyland and Walt Disney World, it’s no surprise that occasional mishaps occur when thousands gather in tight spaces. Recently, an unexpected and rather smelly issue has been causing a bit of a stir: an increase in noticeable odors—specifically, the human kind.
Let’s face it, enjoying delectable Disney treats can sometimes lead to unfortunate digestive consequences. From corndogs at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to churros in Tomorrowland, the rich theme park food is undoubtedly a key trigger. A hot topic on social media is this very “methane mishap,” especially in enclosed attractions like Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Mountain.
One Reddit user humorously spilled the beans about a particularly pungent moment in the Haunted Mansion, sparking a flurry of confirmations from other guests. Another guest reminisced about an unforgettable family moment while waiting in line for Big Thunder, where the “big thunder” wasn’t just the attraction’s name. Such stories, shocking as they are, seem to be on an uptick, filling forums and social media channels with tales of trapped guests and persistent odors.
Visitors to the Disneyland Resort seem to have it just as tough. Regular park-goers noted that instances of unwelcome odors have become surprisingly frequent. In one tale of terror, a gas cloud on the Finding Nemo ride left guests virtually gasping for fresh air, desperately counting the seconds until the ride finished.
Though Disney hasn’t officially commented on this smelly situation, it’s evident the parks are experiencing an unusual aroma epidemic. Will this lead to a shift in Disney’s food offerings or perhaps the return of masks for visitors? Only time will tell.
