Disney: latest to go smoke-free
Disney became the latest to rule out smoking at its hotel properties.
Disney World said it is putting out cigarettes and cigars in all its hotels and time-share buildings, making it the latest single-site resort complex to take that action.
Starting 1 June, smoking will be banned in all Disney-owned hotel rooms and time-share rooms, and on their balconies, patios and other areas except designated smoking zones.
“We’ve just continued to see the demand for smoking decline, and in the last several years it has really begun to fall off dramatically,” Disney World Senior Vice President Erin Wallace said. He added:
“Less than 4% of our rooms today are being reserved for smokers. It’s time to go the whole way.”
As with its policy in the theme parks, Disney World will designate outdoor smoking areas in fairly private locations at all its hotels.
Disney instituted a similar policy last year at its Disneyland hotels in California.
