I'm VERY disappointed that they decided to make all the smoking areas at OKW the pool areas! I guess that means I wont be able to enjoy the hot tubs anymore.
I'm missing something. There are clearly SSR buildings (7101-7436 / 7501 - 7836) .. and others where there is no smoking symbol in front of the entrance.
There are entire sections of SSR with no smoking... aren't there? Or am I missing something incredibly obvious?

I guess I don't understand if that means the entire pool area is a smoking area, or if there is a smaller designated smoking area at each pool.
I also noticed that there is a smoking symbol at each pool at SSR except the Grandstand pool. Don't know if that's an error, or if the Grandstand pool will be a totally smoke-free pool.

When it says "also at the Front of each Guest room building" (OKW and SSR) do they have a designated area at the front or is it anywhere? It would be pointless if not and I don't want to "run the gauntlet" each time I am going to my room. I would hate if Disney had it set like an office building. No smoking in the building so all the smokers smoke right at the entrance forcing everyone to walk through their disgusting smoke. While I can hold my breath those few seconds, my DS, 8 months old, can not. I hope DVD didn't drop the ball on this one.

I'm glad I'm not a smoker at AKL. Those people are going to have a LONG walk to get a smoke.
We were there at Thanksgiving and my eldest hates smoking and it was like running the gauntlet(sp) to get from DME stop to Carriage House and back.
Actually AKL has had the same DSAs for a while. My sister used them a couple of years ago. They are nothing new. They are a long walk from some of the rooms but they worked out okay for her.
Really? People couldn't smoke on the balconys at AKL before the new policy?
Thats true about all the entrances. Just thinking ahead to next month (38 more days! )
Also, now that the 1st has come and gone, does anyone know what happened to the smoking rooms? Where they taken out of inventory to be cleaned up? With the psycho strict policy about talking about The Policy I haven't read anything about this. If they didn't take the rooms our of inventory that is very poor planning.

I too am concerned about the "gauntlet effect", but the great thing about SSR is there are entrances on each end of each bldg. I dont expect it to be too bad, but if it is, we can always use the other doors, and still access the elevators if need be.
So we non-smokers will have to use the side entrances in order to avoid the smokers at the front entrance? That's not acceptable to me. I sure hope you are right and it won't be an issue.
