Hopefully I can help answer a few question
Q: Why are guests not allowed to exit with an alcoholic beverage from the parks?
A: Guests are not allowed to leave any park with an alcoholic beverage because
1) It is assumed all guests will be leaving in their personal vehicles and it is illegal to have an open container in a car, the only exception's being a chauffered vehicle like a limo or bus but since there is no way to check every guest leaving guest who are transported by a third party are treated the same as other guests. (NO VIP treatment)
2) I have heard it also has something to do with Disney's liquor license. When in the park you are drinking in a zoned area so to move to another area say a resort area like the Boardwalk you are in a different zone so any alcohol being consumed from one to the other is not allowed.
3) If they were to let a person enter or exit through the International Gateway with an alcoholic beverage than other guest may complain that they were not able to do so, so its best to nip it all in the bud to begin with so there are no problems in the future.
Q: Are there designated smoking areas in and around the Boardwalk and surrounding areas?
A: Yes there are, unfortunatley they are not marked on a map or have a sign marking the spot for guests.
However if you look around you will see trash cans with ash trays placed in areas off to the side, away from the buildings, or hidden in little alcoves.
Here's a small list:
- When entering the Boardwalk from Seabreeze point (Epcot walkway) there is an ashtray where the pavement ends and the boarding begin's, this is usually used by guests at the ESPN Zone
- When entering the Boardwalk from the resorts stairwell entrance (also accesible from the inside stairwell leading down from the Bellvue Room) there are benches in a corner with ashtrays, patrons of the Bellvue Room and Flying Fish usually use this area
- While waiting for a Friendship boat to take you between resorts and parks there are ashtrays availble at the begining of the docks.
- There are ash trays outside both Atlantic Dance Hall and Jelly Rolls
- There is an ash tray near the water by Big River Grill
- There are areas around Stormalong Bay and Hurricane Hanna's with ashtrays and I believe they are marked
Once again these are not all "Marked" smoking areas but the Mouse does prefer that you use these areas if your going to smoke. You can ask a Cast Member where the areas are or may even be approached and ask to move to one of these spots.
Hope this helps!
