Your Home Will Smell Just Like Disney, Thanks to These 5 Candles
Even more than pictures, scents can invoke an intense sense of nostalgia. It's almost like you're experiencing your emotions again in real-time.
As Disney park fanatics, we're always counting down the days until our next trip while looking for new ways to bring a piece of Florida and California into our homes. Recently, we've been introduced to the world of Disney Park candles, and like we mentioned earlier, they truly make you feel like you're standing in front of Pirates of the Caribbean or chowing down a cup of Dole Whip.
To invite Disney into your home, consider purchasing one of these candles we love, featuring your favorite rides, locations and snacks.
Main Street Melts Candle Co. Splash Mountain Candle: $16
Since Splash Mountain closed (to be transformed into Tiana's Bayou Adventure) at Disneyland and Disney World, you might be missing its distinct scent more than ever. It's one of the oldest rides at the park, and you can tell by its old fragrance. Mixed with iconic bromine water and damp air, it might not be pleasing to the average candler user but is super nostalgic and comforting for Disney fanatics.

Magic Candle Company Pirate Life Candle: $17.95+
If you ask any park enthusiast (including us), they'll tell you Pirates of the Caribbean has the best fragrance of any ride, especially in Florida. The Disney World edition features a banana rum scent (when the man talks to the cat), a toasted marshmallow smell (when the cans fire) and, of course, the aquatic, sweet bromine aroma. We promise—it's addicting.

There's no better feeling than walking into Disneyland and being greeted by the delicious fragrance of Main Street. With a dessert shop on every corner, you'll be hit with a potpourri of fresh waffles, milkshakes, popcorn and more. Be careful with this candle—you'll probably start craving all your favorite Disney treats.

Dole Plantation Pineapple Scented Candle in Coconut Shell: $20.95
When you visit the Florida or Hawaii resorts, it's a rite of passage to try at least one form of Dole Whip. That refreshing treat is the perfect blend of tart and sweet. Dole themselves have a tropical pineapple coconut candle that will instantly recreate the sensation of holding a cold cup of Dole Whip in your hands.

Courteous Notes Haunted Mansion Soy Wax Candle: $21
The eerie scent of Haunted Mansion would be the ultimate candle for the Halloween season (it'll be here sooner than you think).
It has a wooden fragrance, almost identical to what you'd expect a real, abandoned house to smell like. It's almost impossible to describe it, but Courteous Notes on Etsy captures it to a tee. The store is currently on hiatus right now, but you can sign up for notifications when they go live again.
