Hiya, Wayne! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I’d love to help you plan your upcoming visit to the
Happiest Place on Earth!
As the mom of three Mouseketeers ages 8 and under, I understand just how important a stroller is to a comfortable and successful vacation with
little ones! Strollers offer the perfect spot to hold your essential items, and rest weary feet between your magical moments at the Disneyland Resort.
I’m so glad you’re measuring your stroller before your visit, so you can be fully prepared before arriving at the Security Checkpoint. You’re correct, the newer
stroller guidelines issued last year state that
strollers can’t exceed 31” wide by 52” long. Also, stroller wagons aren’t permitted inside the theme parks. The good news is that most single and double strollers fit within these updated size guidelines. In fact, my double-wide Britax B-Agile Double Stroller fits perfectly. To check your stroller, I recommend measuring it from the widest and longest points. Another idea is to take chalk or tape and make a 31” by 52” rectangle on the floor. Steer your stroller into this rectangle – if it fits, you’re good to go! If it’s too large, then you can either bring a different stroller that fits within these guidelines, or
rent a stroller from the Disneyland Resort, from the Disney Featured Provider, ScooterBug, or from another third-party company. I recently rented a double stroller from ScooterBug for my family’s Walt Disney World Resort vacation, and I was so impressed with their service! The double stroller was comfortable and clean, and the process was super simple.
Once you’ve arrived in the parks, I recommend tying a balloon or ribbon to the top of your stroller to help your family find it amidst all the other strollers in the Stroller Parking areas. Sometimes Cast Members will need to move strollers for parades or to consolidate parking areas, so this trick is especially helpful when that happens!
Also, if you happen to have younger Mouseketeers, I recommend checking out the
Baby Care Centers located inside
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park. These Centers are my favorite spot to change, feed, or nurse little ones.
I hope this information helps, Wayne. Please stop back with any additional questions you may have… I’m all EARs!
