    I just have a question I know your not allowed to smoke in the parks and have to leave to smoke a cigarette but are you allowed to bring your lighter and cigarette pack with you through security as long as you only smoke in the designated area outside?

    Hiya, Nicole!

    I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you to the most magical panel on Earth — planDisney! Your visit to Walt Disney World is literally DAYS away! You must be as excited as Anna on Coronation Day! Let's go ahead and dive right into your question so you can get back to filling that suitcase with all your must-have essentials. Spoiler alert: when it comes to Mickey Ears, the limit does not exist! 

    As you already know, Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks, and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex are smoke-free, with smoking only allowed in special outdoor areas. To find these designated spots during your visit, just open your My Disney Experience app, search for 'Designated Smoking Areas,' and tap 'Find on Map.' It's super easy to locate the nearest spot.

    Currently, cigarettes and lighters aren't included on the list of prohibited items, so you should be okay bringing them with you into the theme parks. Just be sure to only use them in the designated smoking areas, which at the four theme parks are located outside the park entrances.

    Nicole, you're arriving just as Disney World kicks off spooky season! It's the time when the parks come alive with Halloween decorations, special events, and seasonal treats that make this time of the year so magical. Make sure you check out the Disney Parks Instagram page, where they've been sharing sneak peeks of all the fun!

    I hope you have the best trip ever, Nicole! Thanks for stopping by planDisney!

    See ya real soon,
