Yay! I always hate it when I end up in a room that has been smoked in. I know it sounds weird but when I am in a smokey hotel room my ears actually hurt...sometimes for days after

As blueerica points out, does changing this policy really solve this problem? Sure it might make a small number of people think twice, but if you requested a non-smoking room and smell smoke, then it was someone who is already ignoring a non-smoking policy that was the cause of it. Unless they have some new way to monitor and enforce, I'm skeptical that it will change anything (aside from the, "Oh I'm sorry, all we have left is smoking rooms," annoyance which I suppose is a benefit).

I think it will go a long way towards solving the problem. Most people tend to obey rules and when they find out they can't have a smoking room at WDW, would just make ressies over at the the Hotels near DDT or some other off site place....or just not smoke. Sure, you will have a few people who will break the rule and I suppose I could end up in a room that someone had smoked in anyway....but the odds are better I think. Not to mention that a non-smoking room that one person in something like a 100 smokes in has got to be better than a room designated smoking.
