Is nicotine allowed in Disney World?

The smoking of tobacco, e-cigarettes or other products that produce a vapor or smoke is allowed only in designated outdoor smoking areas. A $250-$500 room-recovery fee will be charged for smoking in Guest rooms or on balconies or patios at Disney Resort hotels.



Nicotine use is strictly regulated at Walt Disney World Resort in 2026. While the theme parks, water parks, and resort hotels are largely smoke-free environments, nicotine is permitted only in designated outdoor smoking areas. This policy applies to traditional cigarettes as well as vaping devices and e-cigarettes. Inside Disney resort hotels, smoking/vaping is prohibited in guest rooms and on balconies, though designated areas are available on the hotel grounds. It is important to note that while nicotine is allowed in these specific spots, marijuana is strictly prohibited everywhere on Disney property, regardless of its legal status elsewhere. Guests can locate the nearest smoking area using the My Disney Experience app or by asking a Cast Member, ensuring they remain compliant with the resort's strict "Clean Air" initiatives.

While vape pens are not in the list of prohibited items at this time, your partner should speak with a security Cast Member when they arrive at a theme park entrance to see if they are allowed to bring their vape pen into the parks with them. They should also ask the security Cast Member about the Nicorette Inhalators.
