Smoking rooms

[KCMiller]

Hi, odd question here.

We stayed at Boardwalk Villas last month, renting DVC points, and the smoking rooms were as far from the lobby as you can get. Someone on another thread had measured (it's that long) and came up with the length of 2 1/2 football fields!

We don't smoke, but my parents do. My mother is in a wheelchair, and my father has health problems (nothing to do with smoking, yes I know they should stop, but that's not what this thread is about). My question is this:

Is there any website that shows WHERE the smoking rooms are in resorts? Or can you tell me where YOUR smoking room was, in relation to the elevators or the lobby (my dad always valet parks). The distance from the lobby and the elevators made it extremely difficult for my parents - they became so exhaused that they ended up spending Friday in their room, unable to come into the parks. To even get a cup of coffee was a huge ordeal. We would choose a resort the next time that was 'kinder'. Any ideas?

Thanks, and again, I know they shouldn't smoke, so I appreciate your thoughts in that regard, but that's not what this is about - it's about trying to assist a pair of really nice elderly people.

How about at the Polynesian? Does anyone know where the smoking rooms are there?


Thanks,

At the Polynesian, they go by Longhouses.. here is a link to Tikiman's website that will help you see which buildings are smoking and which allow smoking

Just click on the different buildings, it lists all the information you'll need about the Polynesian!

Good Luck!

KCMiller- I've been trying to find out where the BC smoking rooms are for months. Not having any luck. I know there is a site where various types of rooms are described at the WL:

Good luck!

When I called CRO & asked about BC they said the only rooms that are definitely non-smoking are on the 3rd floor but they like to keep "us" bunched together on other floors.

I did tell them that the only thing my DH cares about is having a balcony because he will not smoke in the room. When I received my reservation it states "guaranteed smoking" so I'm hoping that will get us the full balcony.
