Hi Siera! Welcome to planDisney!
You will be "strolling" around the Walt Disney World theme parks in only THREE more days! There is nothing like seeing my little ones' faces light up as they catch a glimpse of Cinderella Castle or watching them excitedly wave as Mickey Mouse and friends pass by on a
Character Cavalcade. You are going to make so many special memories with your kiddo very soon!
Having a stroller in the theme parks is a great idea!
Renting a stroller is helpful because you get the benefit of having a spot for your
little one to rest tired legs, but you also don't have to worry about transporting it to and from the theme parks. When you are enjoying an attraction, there is designated stroller parking for each ride and you will leave your stroller in that area. There are not locks and locks actually aren't allowed on the strollers. But in my many years of stroller use at the Most Magical Place on Earth, I've never had any trouble with having my stroller taken by another Guest. Occasionally, a Cast Member has moved my stroller just to better organize the stroller parking area, but it has still been there when I returned! Just make sure to take all valuables with you to the attractions.
I hope you have an amazing vacation, Siera! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
