Designated areas are available for smokers whilst in the parks, with smoking prohibited in all indoor and covered areas.

As a place where people come to get away from it all and enjoy themselves, Disneys asks that smokers use common courtesy whilst in the parks. In 2008, this was cemented with the designation of special 'Smoking Areas' throughout both parks, with guests being asked to smoke only in these areas. They've since been "plussed" with new benches, special ashtray bins and dedicated signage to help you find them more easily.

In practice, however, they havn't proved all that popular so far — and you can't even blame other guests for a reluctance to comply.

Though these Smoking Areas are shown on park maps, the advice that guests should smoke only in these areas is printed only as a minute detail in the map key. Therefore, don't be surprised if you see people smoking all over the parks — but don't blame them either. It's a lack of information and drive on Disney's part to enforce the rule.

Nevertheless, if you'd like to start the trend or just want to know the best areas off the beaten track to take a break, we've mapped out the Smoking Areas below and described their locations and facilities:

Disneyland Park - Smoking Areas

• 1 — Either side of the toilets on the main entrance/exit plaza (little cover, little seating)
• 2 — Within the Main Street Arboretum area (covered, seating)
• 3 — Behind Fort Comstock, in the covered passageway (covered, seating)
• 4 — Around Pueblo Trading Post (little cover, seating)
• 5 — Opposite Restaurant Hakuna Matata, in the lower seating area by the river (no cover, seating)
• 6 — Down the steps opposite La Cabane des Robinson, overlooking the bridge (no cover, seating)
• 7 — Next to the terrace of Au Chalet de la Marionnette (covered, seating)
• 8 — To the right of The Old Mill (no cover, seating)
• 9 — Near the Bureau Passeport Annuel (no cover, little seating)
• 10 — Near Discoveryland Railroad Station entrance (little cover, seating)
• 11 — Between Space Mountain: Mission 2 and Videopolis Theatre (no cover, seating)

If none of these areas are suitable or within easy reach, it's a good idea to look for the nearest toilets, as these often come with small outdoor rest areas and secluded benches, outside of the main thoroughfares.

Walt Disney Studios Park - Smoking Areas

• 1 — To the left of the Stroller & Wheelchair Rental location (no cover, little seating)
• 2 — On the right of Art of Disney Animation, overlooking Cars Quatre Roues Rallye (no cover, seating)
• 3 — By the Hollywood Boulevard toilets, at the back of Art of Disney Animation (no cover, seating)
• 4 — Between the Walt Disney Television Studios building and Café Cafés (no cover, seating)
• 5 — To the left of the giant Moteurs... Action! Stunt Show Spectacular letters (no cover, seating)

Walt Disney Studios Park has far fewer open air covered spaces. If you need to shelter from the rain, consider using the buildings at the front of La Terrasse Perrier, such as Beverly Court — though these are not technically permitted smoking locations. Toon Studio and Backlot have few, if any, covered spaces.
