Smoking at Disney

Are you dating my husband? It is exactly the same with him. When we go to Disneyland, they have a few spots. It is hard when I am juggling all the kids while he has smoke, but worth it. He is much calmer, and easier to deal with. If Disney World completely got rid of their smoking section, it would be very difficult for us to go. I don't think they will, but it does worry me a bit.

The DL smoking section between Autopia and Matterhorn is awesomeness. My partner can have 2 or 3 cigarettes while I ride Matterhorn in the single-rider line 2 or 3 times. Last week on our WDW trip, we had a couple of blow-ups because the DSAs are so few and far between in the Orlando parks now. IMO, cutting their number down so severely just makes for even edgier adults, especially when the parks are hot and/or crowded. Meanwhile, at CSR where we stayed, DSAs were everywhere. So my partner basically never wanted to leave the resort. And that negatively impacted my vacation experience as a non-smoker.

I wish there was no smoking anywhere at Disney.
I don't care about your filthy habit until it intrudes on my clean air... Which it always does.

Do they have "drinking areas" in MK for alcoholics? No. They say suck it up and drop your habit for the day.

What are you talking about? Yes, they certainly do. Dinner at BOG serves alcohol. You definitely can end up drunk in MK.

My mom is a smoker and had no problem during the trip she joined us on in January. WDW has just the right balance between protecting nonsmokers and accomodating smokers, by providing a few, out-of-the-way areas for them to smoke in each park and resort. It worked for her (even though she's 72 & used a scooter due to knee problems) and caused no one else any problems.

I don't see WDW switching to a draconian total smoking ban anytime soon. They're not looking to drive guests out of the park. It's just a rumor.

The DSAs at the resorts are neither few nor necessarily out of the way. They're actually pretty accessible. It's only in the parks where you may have to walk half a mile to get to one.

Drives me insane how relaxed they are about the smoking areas in Disneyland Paris. They let guests smoke almost anywhere
