I bought my cigarettes at the resort and tried to find gum for my husband. I asked a cast member where the gum is. She said Walt's dying wish was that no gum or chewing tobacco be sold anywhere on property. My husband came over and heard. He then, in a very loud voice, said, you mean to tell me that you can buy cigareetes, liquor and condoms here, but no gum! We did find some gum for my ex-smoker in our room after digging through our suitcases. I understand the gum I guess. I can see people chewing gum through the parks and just spitting them out onto the ground and someone like me will step on it and figure out how to get it off the bottom of my shoe.
Originally Posted By Coachbagfanatic1 I can see the OTC drugs and other personal items. I am a former smoker myself so it never crosses my mind to look for cigarettes. Now, I am a gum chewer since I quit over 13 years ago Tink very funny. I can see why your DH was a little puzzled by that but I can also understand the gum situation myself. I have stepped in gum at MK and it's not a pleasant experience. I also carry toothpicks with me to get the gum off my shoe. You can get into the cracks on the bottom of your shoe and it comes off or you can use ice cubes.

Originally Posted By Coachbagfanatic1 That drives me crazy when I see butts on the ground. Even when I smoked I never did that. We have enough pollution and trash in this world and to litter like that is beyond me. Oh especially when you see someone throws them out of their car windows. I guess the ashtrays in cars are there to hold change for the turnpike and parkway.

Tobacco may kill the body, but those things kill the Disney magic ... and the soul.
