Trying DESPERATELY to avoid hate mail....
.
All of the following is purely personal opinion - I'm not necessarily right, no one else is wrong....
From about 2011 to present, the number of designated Smoking Locations within the MK have been reduced from 7 to 2. Currently, the only two remaining locations are at the fringes of the MK. The current situation is radically different from the other parks.
SEVERAL of the eliminated smoking locations make complete sense, due to non smoking crowd proximity. The one by Cinderella's Castle was a classic: really BAD location.
However - my personal belief is one of inclusion, when inclusion works, and can be used to avoid increased disobedience. The MK needs a close to center of park designated smoking location. And I believe there are TWO perfect locations for this:
Just inside the NORTH and SOUTH Main Street bypass entrances.
Both locations are generally unused during daylight hours. They are removed from the general public. They sit idle most of the time. BOTH are very close to former designated smoking locations. They are removed, available, and would work well.
So -please consider this a plea for support.... for myself? I have already suggested this concept to Disney Guest Communications(EMAIL:
wdw.guest.communications@disneyworld.com).
I would ask that others who agree also contact them. I will point out that human nature, being what it is? It's only a matter of time when ANY group of people, ostracized, begin to engage in disobedience. This is NEVER a good outcome for either the afflicted, or innocent parties. Far better to create a controlled situation than an uncontrolled situation.....
Again, all of this is personal opinion - I'm not necessarily right, no one else is wrong....
