Hey there, hi there, Adriana! Like my pal, Tiana, says, “Come on in! I’m glad you made it!”. Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your all-important question about strollers. Your visit is coming up in just a few short weeks, so let’s get you some more info to ensure that you’ll have the most magical time!
First off, that's fantastic news that your sit-and-stand stroller already meets the stroller dimension requirements listed on the
Strollers FAQ page! That's often the biggest checkpoint, so you're already navigating like a seasoned skipper!
Now, regarding sit-and-stand strollers specifically—you've hit on a point where things can sometimes get a little more nuanced than just the tape measure. I just spoke with a helpful Cast Member on your behalf who shared that, while many standard sit-and-stand models that fit the dimensions cruise right through the security screening, the final okay is ultimately given by the Cast Members performing visual inspections at the security checkpoints. The variety of stroller designs out there is quite large! I recently discussed
tricycle-style strollers with detachable pedals with another Guest here at planDisney, which illustrates why that final visual check is necessary for everyone's safety and enjoyment. It’s truly decided on a case-by-case basis.
Essentially, the Security team takes a quick look beyond the basic measurements to ensure the stroller's overall design is suitable and safe for the parks. They're checking if its configuration might visually resemble a wagon or trailer (which aren't permitted), if elements like standing platforms or handles protrude in a way that could potentially impede movement or be hazardous in crowds, or if the stroller appears to have been modified from its original design in a way that raises safety questions.
Again, having your stroller meet the size requirements is a huge plus and generally means you should be fine! Security just reserves the right to make that final call based on the overall visual assessment.
Now, should the unexpected happen upon arrival, or even if you simply decide you'd prefer not to bring your own stroller that day, remember that Disneyland Resort has a fantastic backup plan ready!
Stroller rentals are conveniently located just outside the theme parks, near the Disneyland Park Main Entrance. They offer single and double strollers (subject to availability) that are perfectly designed for navigating the parks.
Adriana, I hope this extra insight helps you prepare for your arrival! I realize this isn't the definitive 'yes' answer you were likely seeking, and I wish I could give you one! Since the final okay comes from the Security Cast Members upon arrival, this was the best insight I could gather to help you plan. Think positive thoughts—chances are good that your trusty chariot may pass the inspection with flying colors—and if not, the Disneyland Resort has you covered with stroller rentals. Wishing you smooth strolls and a truly enchanting visit filled with magical memories! Feel free to roll back here to planDisney if any more questions pop up before your adventure begins!
