Disneyland/ Disneyworld tell smokers to pound sand.

It's alright. The pipe will be more satisfying on the way home. Let them have their smoke free spaces and allow us to keep manufacturing and selling pipe tobacco and cigars. We have to find a middle ground somewhere, like we used to with issues in the past.

Almost every corporation is. I like to shop mom and pop when I am able to. That's one of the nice things about thailand. Mom and pop options are literally everywhere. Same with most of Ireland.

I don’t see how the Average American can even afford Disney, the rats image has tarnished for me as I grow older, son-in- law took his family there with a military discount, daughter told me how much it costs, MYGOSH, IT WAS EXPENSIVE, for WHAT to see a rat in a costume. I will say I took kids when they were 8 and 10, stayed in Fort Wilderness in my pop up, and Epcot was amazing. But now I don’t see the thrill, old Fart that I am.

I wonder what Walt is thinking right now!?!?!?  Not only was he a pipe smoker, he was a chain cigarette smoker as well.

I wouldn't trade the Disney memories my kids and I have for the world. My wife and I took them several years back and they still talk about it with great/happy remembrances.

So it's smoke-free. Doesn't change anything for me. I'll go if I want. My pipesmoking is my time, Disney is family time. I don't expect to combine the two and I certainly don't bemoan the loss of pipesmoking time if/when I can keep the family time.

If Disney is too expensive for some so be it.
A $12 Movie is too. A $25k new car is too. A $10 dinner plate is also more than some can afford.
I recognize their situation. But I don't expect every business to lower pricing to suit those limited budgets.
I won't begrudge any business the ability to charge what they want and person to spend their money how they want.

I also make it a habit to avoid letting politics limit my spending to only those businesses that support the same political ideals I do.
I have no reason to deny my dollar to any bisiness offering a product I want for a price I'm willing to pay. Politics don't come into play in those situations.
Anyone able to go online via a phone, internet account, pc, tablet, etc that think 100% of their dollars only support non-political companies and/or businesses who are politically in line with their own ideals and/or companies that are wholly legal/moral in their endeavors is fooling themselves.

That's my .02...nothing more.

Walt primarily smoked cigarettes.

No matter though, his legacy has been destroyed by Eisner and Iger. Those f****ers have done nothing but raise prices, serve shareholders and turned the original Disneyland into an OUTRAGEOUS money-grab.

I was an annual passholder for several years, and it just got out of hand... the price was stupid high.

I am a member of the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. It's a better place.

They are outlawing oversize strollers too. LMAO You can still smoke at the park hotels designated smoking areas and of course Tom Sawyer Island if u are sneeky enough. Just watch for those cameras folks.

Nobody believes me when I say Disney is evil😉😂

Ps,I believe you're not allowed a swiss army knife either

Cool!

The last time I went was there was 1991.

My kids actually liked spending time in the Rockies with mom and dad than going to amusement parks though, and my daughter actually reminisced about me smoking a pipe in Yellowstone that brought me back to the briar.
Different avenues for different folks... that is what makes America great!

If you want roller coasters check out Cedar Point in Ohio. Loved it there.

I cant say that I'm shocked about the no smoking at Disney. Seems to be happening everywhere else. Went to Moody AFB last year for an air show, got to the "gate" and at the security check they told my dad he had to take his cigarettes back to the car because smoking wasnt allowed. The car was over a mile away. I told him I'd take them back, he threw them away.

It's just the way things are headed I suppose. As long as I can smoke in my shed, my car, my front porch and at Walt's, I'm good.

Maybe I'll be an outlier on this, but I think it's the right thing for Disney (and other public places). I've always figured that freedom means being able to do as you want, right up until it affects someone else being able to do as they want. I don't think people should be obligated to breathe, smell, or encounter tobacco smoke if they don't want to, and I'd have to say that should go triple for kids. We all know it's genuinely harmful, that's beyond debate. We make our own decisions as to our level of exposure, but we should not be making those decisions for other people or their kids, IMO.

Personally, I was really glad when bars and restaurants went smoke-free. I loathe cigarette smoke, and even though I enjoy pipe and cigar smoke I can understand why others don't. I'm actually really surprised it took Disney this long.

Regarding the Disney "experience", yeah, it wouldn't be my first choice either. There was a lot I disliked, but I did enjoy the kick my young kids got out of it. I'm glad to have the memories, but I wouldn't mind not going back until it's with some young grandkids (that should be in another 25 years or so lol).

Growing up in a family of six kids with two heavily smoking parents in the sixties...none of us had respiratory issues. I know that is anecdotal, but there is this:

And of course there is the multi year study from the World health Organization that deep sixed it when the facts didn't pony up with the narrative.

As the saying goes a lie travels around the world, by the time the truth get's it's boots on...the real truth as the masses are conditioned to believe it is a whiff of tobacco smoke will cause cancerous lesions....I say bullcrap.
