Disney bans smoking, oversized strollers, and loose ice in theme parks

Starting in May, the only smoke coming out of Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom will be from the fireworks.

Disney announced on Thursday that it is banning smoking, vaping, and stroller wagons in Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disney water parks, and the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, effective May 1. There will be designated smoking areas outside of the entrances, and smoking visitors will be able to return to their park once they are finished, a Disney spokesperson told the Orlando Sentinel.
