    I honestly don’t know why you’re taking away the smoking areas when they were so far off the beaten path before. This will deter me from wanting to spend time in your parks as I feel it’s discrimination. I understand that people should not smoke in crowded public places, especially around children, but there’s a way to have designated areas that are not accessible to people “passing by”. I mean, you’re putting the smoking areas outside the gates close to the crowds, why not leave it the way it was?

    Check the app. They have already moved the smoking area further out on the bus loops at MK. I won’t be going back because of the new smoking policy. When they realize that their profits are taking a hit, they might reconsider. They certainly have the cash to install outdoor air purification systems, but won’t. It is just not the smoker wialho won’t go, but their entire family. The bottom line is that Disney have to make their stockholders happy. If Universal increases in attendance and they don’t there might be a change. They are counting on Galaxy Edge to increase attendance. Sure you might get that initial bump, but time will tell.
