Starting in May, the only smoke coming out of Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom will be from the fireworks.
Disney announced on Thursday that it is banning smoking, vaping, and stroller wagons in Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disney water parks, and the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, effective May 1. There will be designated smoking areas outside of the entrances, and smoking visitors will be able to return to their park once they are finished, a Disney spokesperson told the Orlando Sentinel.
Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services, said it's "about time" smoking was banned at Disney parks. Because the company typically sets trends, he expects other theme parks will reconsider their own policies as well.
Under the new rules, strollers must be no larger than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long, and — effective immediately — visitors are no longer allowed to enter a park with loose ice in coolers. Instead, guests are asked to use reusable ice packs, or request ice from restaurants on property. Disney says guards won't have to dig around in ice at bag checks, getting people inside the parks faster.
My point being, Disney, as opposed to most other amusement parks, DOES allow you to bring in your own food.
Several Years. We want to go to Europe first. Then back through the canal, and we’ll see from there.
I’m retired and we aren’t in a hurry.
In fact, when I get around to starting my blog, it will be called “We’re Not In a Hurry”
They already had smoker friendly areas. Smokers are asswipes and ignore those signs.
Wish they had banned it when we were there a couple weeks ago.
You can bring in drinks and sandwiches. You don’t have to “smuggle”.
