If you're planning on heading to Disney and you smoke...There are no longer places inside the park to stop and smoke.

This Wednesday, May 1st you will no longer be able to smoke at Disney Parks.

When I heard they were doing this, I was actually surprised.  I think a lot of people have quit and more and more places are becoming smoke free and that is a good thing.   Ya know who does smoke tho?  International people.  All I hear from everyone vacationing in other countries..."Everyone smokes".

Where does "everyone" go when they travel to the USA??  Disney.

Anyway... Disney made this announcement back  in March it was closing smoking areas inside all theme parks, water parks and the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

Designated smoking areas will be available outside the entrances and at Disney Springs. So, you're gonna have to walk back to the entrance if you wanna smoke.

The ban also covers vaping.

Those of you with big 'ole strollers...you're gonna have to leave them at home too.....Disney also announced that large strollers will be banned at its theme parks.   Strollers larger than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long will no longer be allowed starting Wednesday.
