Have you ever lost anything at Disney World? You’re certainly not alone!
Things are lost in Disney World every single day and there’s a whole process to go through if you ever find that you’ve lost something valuable. But, what about the things that don’t eventually get returned to their original owner? Well, a Disney exec recently shared a behind-the-scenes secret about one of the smelliest things people lose in Disney World!
Believe it or not, Disney has a use for lost perfume bottles! According to Dr. Mark Penning, Vice President, Disney’s Animals, Science & Environment, the Lost and Found teams from ALL OVER Disney World collect the lost perfume bottles and then donate them to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
So what is it used for? Well, big cats like lions and tigers love investigating the scents of perfume and cologne! Using these lost perfume bottles to stink up things like bushes and trees offers more enrichment activities for the animals so they can indulge in more of their natural behaviors. It’s also a great way to recycle perfume into something useful rather than just throwing it out.
So, the next time you lose a bottle of perfume at Disney World, you’ll be happy to know it’s benefiting Disney’s big cats.

Great idea! Having lost a variety of odd items at theme parks, I’m happy to hear that some of them don’t end up in the trash.
