    I went to Disneyland and DCA Friday and couldn’t believe how many of those stroller wagons I saw. I seriously must’ve counted at least 15! Really hope they enforce this new rule as well as the side-by-side strollers...both are just plain obnoxious. It all starts with security checkpoint and if people bring in their wagons or side-by-side strollers, they shouldn’t be allowed in...simple.

      Both the side by side strollers and the wagons fit well within the range. The wagon is actually a lot narrower, but I think that it’s a problem because people cannot see when steering. I had reserved a wagon from an outside company and I’m so annoyed because the rule starts literally in the middle of my vacation week. I had to switch over to a side by side because that’s all the rental company had left. So now I’m going to be extra obnoxious 😂😂😂

And people with more than one child need double wide strollers or a wagon. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Personally I think it’s Disney’s fault for being greedy and letting the park get too full. There simply isn’t enough space in the park to accommodate how many people they let in on a daily basis. I keep seeing people saying that people just shouldn’t bring strollers at all, but like it or not Disney is MAINLY for kids and Disney needs to accommodate its main customers.

      I imagine its because normal ice can make a huge mess if an issue happens, such as a container of ice spilling everywhere, or a soaking wet bag from some sort of leak
      Dry ice is prohibited i feel, beyond the fact that it will seriously freeze your fingers if not handled properly, but if in a closed container for long enough it might cause enough pressure to blow. And a loud sudden noise erupting from someones bag is not what you would want to happen in disney

      I heard it's because it's hard for security at bag check to search a cooler filled with ice. People could be consealing something underneath all the ice. Another reason I've heard is because people just dump their (half-)melted ice wherever they're standing, creating a mess and safety hazard (other guests slipping on ice).

They just released a highly evolved Villians collection (the Villians extra hours thing reminded me of it) and it's gorgeous! There are 2 collections they have put out in 6 months and they're beautiful! I'm 99.99% sure both collections are sold at the parks and Colourpop is famous for being super affordable, which Disney, we all know, is famous for being expensive. I feel like the older croud of Disney Park fans watch this channel (I'm 28 so what do I know) and I think it's something they don't know about! Colourpop is super high quality affordable make-up that's great for anyone of any age! They also have really fun glitters that would be perfect for younger girls. It's not play make up and would make a great addition to any Disney and/or make up collector! 💕

    I'm not too sure if everyone understands what this new smoking rule will mean. Previously most of the smoking areas were in ideal places (most not all, they could have better). So, now people will either force themselves to not smoke during they're time at the park (you are crazy if you think anyone will quit just for a couple hours in a theme park), which will result in many more irritable parents, and guests in general. ORRR (the more likely option) people will simply find a place where there aren't too many employees and just light up where they stand, rather than going to an area that was previously out of the way. Those of you who smoke (or just have logic) will understand this, those who don't, will think that this rule is somehow a good thing for them. This is reality, and if you don't believe me, wait until you find yourself in a dark corner with someone trying to sneak a cig.

    • @magpieblue4799

      The truth is simply that Disney knows hordes of people are going to descend on the parks once Galaxy's edge opens, and they are trying desperately to thin that out by hoping to discourage some visitors from coming. There are too many visitors already at certain times of year, making it a less enjoyable experience for all. Unfortunately I think this is going to backfire on them terribly. For smokers who do follow the rules, it's going to mean longer lines at the gates for everyone to get through security, because smokers will have to go through multiple times a day. For the smokers who don't follow the rules, they will just light up and smoke wherever they can, and with no butt stops to dispose of them, the park is going to get dirtier, not to mention the smokers who will bring nicotine gum into the park, or just gum in general. Do you really think every single one of them will dispose of that stuff properly??? Or the third option will be that cast members will now have to deal with guests who are not only disgruntled about something, but going through withdrawal as well. They don't get paid enough....
      As for the strollers, some parents with a lot of kids might just force them to walk. There are going to be so so many grumpy parents dealing with their grumpy ass tired kids... IDK, but I have a feeling this is just a very temporary solution. Time will tell, lol.

      Agreed. People are just going to smoke in the bathroom stalls. Just like in highschool. No chance of smokers being half way across the park and going all the way back to the gate, smoke and go all the way back around again. Hell, by the time they get there they'll need to smoke again. Even the ones who try to follow the rules are probably going to be chewing gum to cope. And people are going to be stepping in gum all day, because people are assholes and not going to dispose of it properly. And Disney is likely going to lose employees at an alarming rate as well. No one is going to be paid minimum wage to repeatedly deal with pissed off addicts in withdrawal all day. All the people that are "happy" about the ban seriously don't understand addiction. This isn't going to go well.

      @Cameron Taylor Amazing that these smokers can survive a plane flight to Disney without going off on the people in the plane or at the terminal...ALL of which have been completely non-smoking for ages. Your logic is severely flawed, I'm afraid.

    • @hypno_bunny
      @hypno_bunny 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@gondorbunny Only 20% of Disney guests actually fly there. And that makes the smokers who flew there an even smaller percentage. Plus, most flights are only about 2 hours to Disney. Most smokers can suck it up that long (been doing it for years in movie theaters). So that makes the smokers who had long flights even smaller. And with a ban park wide and nowhere to smoke, that's asking them to either go all day without smoking or spend hours of their day walking back and forth to the front gate. People will risk getting caught to not have to go through that. I have worked for both Disney and Universal and even without the ban, guests would still smoke outside of the smoking areas, even though they were provided just because they were too far away. Addiction is strange beast. If it will make people steal from their mothers, then they will have no qualms about breaking rules in a theme park. The logic is still very sound.

    AJ I love these videos. I'm an annual passholder and I am very happy about the changes to the smoking policy. I understand that there is a lot of anger over it and quite a bit of people split on the topic, but I know people who died from smoking. I know what the end result is, and I also know that second hand smoke is very unhealthy. I know it is a very hard to kick addiction, and there isn't one person who doesn't have his or her own bad habit. But smoking is a bad habit that impacts the health of those around the smoker. The smoking areas were helpful, but unfortunately, smoke travels quite easily. I've seen people arguing that the areas were out of the way, but many of them were right next to major attractions and walkways. The worst was at the water parks, where the smoking areas could be smelled from the lazy River and other tube rides. Again, the health of all individuals is being guarded by removing smoking. I have seen a lot of hostile comments on this matter, and even had someone say something rude to me about me being "entitled" for being happy about there being no smoking in the parks. Breathing is a right, not an entitlement.

  • @danielcurtin7616

Smoke and clouds of douche fog are not stopped by the boundaries of a designated smoking area. Why allow an activity that detracts from others enjoyment when not allowing it won’t change attendance?

    Thank goodness they finally Banned smoking! Sometimes when my mom would be at the park and she needed a smoke so bad that she couldn’t be bothered to search for the nearest designated smoking area so she’d just go off in a not very populated area and smoke(she mostly did this so she wouldn’t be caught by cast members).
    Honestly we got off the nighttime safari at animal kingdom back in 2016, and she needed a smoke so she just went to a empty queue area and told me to keep an eye out for any cast members so that she doesn’t get caught. I was walking away from her cause I don’t wanna breathe in that shit I already have to breathe it enough at home and I panicked cause I saw a cast member near by and I thought that, if my mom got caught smoking in an non designated smoking area, that she would be kicked out and banned from the park and that since I’m her kid and was with her when she did that, I fear that my mother’s addiction would cause me to never be allowed in Disney again.
    Thankful non of that happened and I can’t remember if the cast member caught her or not but, the fact that I was scared of being punished for being associated with her and her addiction just really shows how fucked mom was being for not just waiting till she could find a gosh darn designated smoking area like your supposed to!
    I’m just so glad that no one will have to put up with accidentally breathing in cigarette smoke in Disney anymore, heck the ones that will benefit the most from this smoking in parks ban are the kids of said smokers who are usually stuck being around their parent(s) in a spot filled with smoke for an Undesignated period of time(cause whenever my mom finds a fellow smoker at hotels she strikes up a long ass hell conversation with them because there aren’t as many of them as they’re use to be)

    I think all the people complaining about the smoking ban by saying it is hypocritical because disney has one more place to drink are hilarious. Last i checked nobody got second hand liver cancer by being next to someone having a margarita. Nor have i ever seen anyone drunk at disney because it’s monitored and cut off at the first sign of a buzz. Alcohol doesnt linger in the air for hours afterwards. And ive never seen someone walk through a cloud of alcohol and go into a coughing fit because they’re allergic to alcohol smoke. You can drink without bothering anyone but none of the same can be said for smoking. People are walking around their kids and you’re giving them cancer because you cant hold off the death sticks for a few hours. If you’re that reliant on cigarettes don’t go to places like disney.

      Literally everything gives you cancer. And sure, you don't see all the examples you made, because you made them so ridiculous.

Drunk driving. 1 in 3 people will be involved in a drunk driving crash and everyday 28 people die as a result of drunk driving, I haven't said anything about the mortality rates of just drinking... I think it's hypocritical of you to sit here and say anything when you clearly aren't informed. Drinking is much worse for you physically as well as it's a detriment to society. Smoking, not so much. And if your only real reasoning for this is because you don't want to smell it, well, don't go near it then. As a smoker I would never go around blowing my smoke in anyone's face, but most of you aft as though that's what smokers do.. every disney smoking section I've been to was always so far away from everyone... How in the world is the smoke getting to everyone else? Smoke doesn't linger outside. You are talking all crazy.
