actually, It is NOT great that they have removed many DSAs. It makes it harder for smokers to abide by the rules. yes, WE will still obey the rules and smoke only in DSAs, but many smokers will not if it becomes way too inconvenient. (just like disney did a study about how long a person will carry a piece of trash before throwing it on the ground, and located the trashcans accordingly)
therefore, eliminating DSAs actually will make it worse for nonsmokers!
most ARE out of the way. the one they took away that surprised me was the one by Mouse Gear in Epcot. (with the fountain view) that one was WAY out of the way of the main "travel" path.
ITA! We will still follow the rules, but the last few trips I've seen more & more people smoking while they walk thru the park. I really hope Disney will "hear" us and put the DSA's back where they were and with better signs. It's best for both smokers & non-smokers.
I just spent a day at Busch Gardens Williamsburg and their smoking areas were very clear, large red signs (probably 2' x 3') that said "Designated Smoking Area", there were also announcements made that the DSA's were located near/in the area of all restrooms.
