Disney making changes to smoking and stroller policy at its theme parks

Disney has announced it will be making changes to its stroller and smoking policy at theme parks and resorts.

The information was posted on the Disney Parks blog site.

STROLLERS
Families with little ones know strollers are an important part of a vacation. It’s the napping zone, the storage place, and the spot for tired legs to rest while experiencing the magic.

Beginning May 1, we are adjusting our guidelines on stroller sizes, which will require them to be no larger than 31″ (79cm) wide and 52″ (132cm) long. The good news – many strollers on the market, including many double jogging strollers, fit within these size guidelines. Also, just a reminder that wagons are not permitted in our parks. Beginning May 1, stroller wagons will also no longer be permitted. These updates are designed to help guest flow and ease congestion, making the parks more enjoyable for everyone.

The previously allowed width was 36″. Patrons can rent single and double strollers by the day or length of stay.

Smoking will be prohibited inside Walt Disney World or Disneyland theme parks, water parks, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex or Downtown Disney District in California. There will be a designated smoking area outside the entrances.

Another change is loose ice will no longer be allowed. Reusable ice packs are okay.
