Smells like Disney

If you've read any of this blog you already know that my family is a *little* Disney obsessed.  Both my kids are always remarking on things that have "that Disney smell" and a frequent topic of conversation is "if we were at Disney today, what would we be doing right now?"  My newest project is perfect for our obsession- Disney inspired scented wax tarts.






There are just some perfectly Disney scents that when you smell them you are transported back to your days in the parks.  The scent in Spaceship Earth, iconic Disney snacks, the scent in the Resort lobby areas.  I went looking for what I wanted and when I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for I decided to create it for myself.

I've been experimenting and testing with different waxes and fragrance oils and have a few scents that have been testing and smell fabulous.  I still have a long list of scents I want to make so be sure to follow Smart Moms, Sassy Daughters by Jettyspagetti on Facebook to see all the new ones as they debut in my etsy shop!



My wax tarts are made with a unique blend of paraffin and soy waxes. This blend allows the maximum fragrance load and long lasting scent.  Finding made in the USA sources is very important to me.  The soy wax is made from grown in the USA soy beans and the paraffin wax is from a US manufacturer.  To use, break off 1 or 2  tarts depending on the size of your wax melter and enjoy the fragrance for 6 to 8 hours. *Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your device. Melted wax will be very hot, do not leave unattended or near children. *


These are the scents available now:

Pineapple Whip- Inspired by the iconic Pineapple and Vanilla Soft serve concoction from Aloha Isle in Adventureland.  Sweet pineapple and creamy Vanilla scent.

Caramel Apple- That yummy scent from Candy Caldron and Sweet Spells, juicy apple and Creamy caramel just like a fresh dipped Mickey Apple.

Cupcake Crawl- One of the best parts of a WDW vacation- sampling cupcakes from around the resort-inspired this Buttercream Frosted Cupcake scent.

Thank the Phoenicians- My family loves Spaceship Earth at Epcot.  The iconic scene showing the  Library of Alexandria on fire,  highlighting the burning of Rome has a distinctive scent. These wax melts are my version of that scent- warm crackling woods with a hint of cedar and papyrus.

Liberty Square Snacks- A cinnamon dusted Funnel cake scent that reminds me of the funnel cakes at Sleepy Hollow refreshments.

And a couple of Star Wars inspired scents-

Leia’s cinnamon buns- An ode to the greatest hairstyle in a galaxy far, far away these wax tarts are fragranced with a blend of fresh baked bread, cinnamon, vanilla icing and a hint of clove.


Wookiee Cookies-  Inspired by the sweetest Wookiee in the galaxy, Chewbacca, these wax tarts are a delicious sugar cookie scent.



Lots more scents to come as they are created and tested!

The Haunted Mansion

I adore the Haunted Mansion attraction at the Magic Kingdom in WDW.  It's been my favorite since my first ride through back in the 80s. 
One of the first tutus I offered in my etsy shop was a Haunted Mansion inspired tutu in shades of gray, black and purple- the colors of the iconic eyes wallpaper.  
Lately I've updated with a tutu inspired by the Castmember Uniforms- dark green and black.
I also have headbands with the eyes wallpaper design and some of my favorite quotes from the attraction. This week, I found the most fabulous ribbon- a Haunted Mansion wallpaper print.  

These are great for adding to your WDW outfit or to add a little Disney to your day!
