A TIKTOKER has revealed that Disney “brainwashes’ visitors at the park using smells – but guests love it.
This trick is said to be used to get people to want to buy food in Disneyland.

Tiktok user who goes by the name Hangry Blogger shared the conspiracy with thousands of his followers.
The video has been viewed more than 5 million times. He said: “Did Disneyland brainwash you every time that you visit?”
“Have you ever walked by a building with a bunch of speakers on it but no sound is coming out?”
He went onto say that they are “Smellitizers” which release certain smells of food throughout the park.
People on TikTok weren’t bothered by the revelation however, with one person saying: “I’m completely okay with that.”
Another person wrote: “I love being brainwashed by Disney.”
A blog post – titled “Science of Disney: Smellitiziers” – explained how they work.
It says: “What’s so special about Disney’s Smellitizers is that the smells are timed precisely, released relatively discreetly and directly, dissipate quickly and can be used repeatedly for around 80 to 100 showings a day per theatre.
“Combining knowledge from chemistry, engineering, and neuroscience, Disney’s Smellitizers make riding their attractions much more magical and realistic.”
A former Disneyland worker confirmed this was true – Jody Jean Dreyer said back in 2017 that it was to offer a “complete experience” for visitors in the park.
