Are WDW restaurants non-smoking?

I just read about the resorts going non-smoking and was wondering about the restaurants at the parks? I may as well forget asking my dad along on our trip since he is a very heavy smoker!

I'm curious to know the official answer on this.
When we were there it seemed to be smoke-free.. it's something we are careful to avoid and we never saw anyone smoking.
I wonder about the restaurants that have bars attached, though. Maybe those allow it?

All WDW restaurants are non-smoking and have been for years.

Yep, and every time I've called for ADRs the CMs recite that in their spiel.

All restaurants in the state of Florida are nonsmoking. They have been for a few years now. Some bars still allow smoking, but I think they have to make less than 10% (something like that) income on food to be considered a bar. Basically, they have to be a true bar to allow smoking. A sports bar, or other establishment that sells equal food & alcohol must be smoke free.

Neither my DH or I are smokers but we've been with other family members who are & they managed just fine. My mother, who was in a wheelchair when we took her to WDW, was a very heavy smoker so we knew that as soon as we were done eating, we had to wheel her to the nearest smoking area. It was a bit of a pain at the time, but we cherish those memories we had with her.
