New Designated Smoking Areas Revealed For Walt Disney World Parks. The new areas are now shown on the new Disney Parks Maps and via the My Disney Experience App.

In a relatively recent announcement, Walt Disney World Resort announced a few new Disney Parks rules that came into effect as of yesterday, May 1, 2019. These rules included size limits on strollers, no loose ice or loose ice bags, and the most surprising change, a smoking ban inside the Disney Parks. The ban prohibits use of cigarettes, cigars, e-cigerettes, vape pens, and the like, inside the theme parks.

For those who are concerned, there will still be designated smoking areas located outside the theme park. You will have to leave the parks in order to use these designated smoking areas and then re-enter the park once you are finished.

Let’s take a look at the newly designed Disney Parks Maps from the Walt Disney World Resort.

The new location at Disney’s Magic Kingdom is located near the front entrance, towards the middle of the Bus Loop and water front of Bay Lake. You can find the new smoking decal just to right of the bottom-middle of the photo.

At Epcot you can find the new smoking area outside the main entrance, on the sidewalk between the “Amaze” Parking Lot and the bathrooms located on the left hand side of the park entrance. In the photo you can see the smoking decal towards the  middle top-right.

You can find the new smoking area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios outside the main entrance towards the boat dock on the Disney Channel.  You can see the new smoking decal on the upper right hand side of the photo above.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom has the closest designated smoking area in relation to the main entrance of the park. Just to the left hand side of the security check point and just outside of the Rainforest Cafe Entrance is the new smoking area. Just below the middle of the photo, you can see the new decal.

We hope you find this information useful for those who will need to utilize these locations. Though this may upset a few folks or feel inconvenient as a guest, please be sure to follow the new rules as they are being strictly enforced and breaking these rules could result in guest removal from the parks.
