ANAHEIM, Calif., Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Disneyland has announced plans to make all 2,224 rooms at its Anaheim, Calif., resort smoke-free as of March 1.

Disney Vice President Rob Doughty said the company has been receiving "steadily declining requests" for smokers' rooms at the resort's three hotels, USA Today reported Wednesday. In fact, he said only 35 smoking rooms are have been reserved through 2010.

A spokeswoman at Walt Disney World in Orlando said 95 percent of its 24,000 rooms in 22 hotels are non-smoking and there were no immediate plans for an all-out ban.

Disneyland joins an estimated 200 North American hotels that ban smoking in rooms and other indoor areas, USA Today said.
