Bad news for smokers and a very good news for non-smokers; visitors to Disney World and Disneyland will soon no longer be able to smoke inside the theme parks.
The new rule will go into effect on May 1. Smokers will need to go to the designated smoking areas located outside the entrances.
Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and Disney resort hotels are smoke-free environments except for designated smoking areas.
"Smoking areas will no longer be present inside Walt Disney World or Disneyland theme parks, water parks, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex or Downtown Disney District in California," Disney announced.
At Disney Resort hotels, smoking is permitted in designated outdoor smoking areas. Smoking is not permitted in guest rooms or on balconies. Guests can request location information at the front desk.
In addition to the smoking ban, Disney also announced a change to its policy on strollers that goes into effect on May 1st as well. Stroller wagons will not be permitted inside parks and strollers must be no larger than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long.
