Hey howdy hey, Perla! You’ve got a friend in me at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and I’m happy to help you with your question.
First off, I’m SO excited for your upcoming visit to the
Merriest Place on Earth! This is my favorite time of year to visit the
Disneyland Resort, so I can’t wait for you to experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of the holiday season. There’s nothing more magical than ending your evening watching
“Believe…In Holiday Magic” Fireworks Spectacular and watching snow fall on Main Street, U.S.A.!
As a mom of three Mouseketeers, I understand your dilemma! In fact, my three children (ages 3, 6, and 8) still fight for a spot in my stroller by the end of a busy Disney day. You’re correct that stroller wagons and wagons aren’t allowed inside Disneyland Resort, per the
Disneyland Resort Rules. Instead, I bring my double-wide stroller, and find that it’s the perfect fit for my family. I have a Britax B-Agile Double Stroller, and it fits within the stroller guidelines, too. The Disneyland Resort Rules show that strollers can’t exceed 31” (79 cm) in width by 52” (132 cm) in length. If you do plan on bringing your own stroller with you, I recommend checking your stroller size at home before heading to the parks, since Cast Members may check it at the Security Checkpoint upon your arrival. The seats in my double stroller recline separately, so my children are able to cozy up with a blanket when it gets cooler at nighttime.
If you prefer to rent a stroller upon arrival at the Disneyland Resort, you can rent daily from Disneyland Resort’s
Stroller Rentals, or through a private vendor. The Disneyland Resort offers single, jogging-style strollers, in addition to double tandem strollers. The tandem stroller would be difficult for laying down, though. You may also want to check out ScooterBug, a private rental company in the area, which also offers length-of-stay rentals. So, ScooterBug’s strollers could stay with you throughout your stay, while you’d have to rent and return the Disneyland Resort strollers on a daily basis. You can reach ScooterBug at (800) 726-8284.
When your little ones need a place to warm up or take a break, feel free to head to one of the
Baby Care Centers – there’s one in each park. These Centers are the perfect spot to feed, nurse, or change your little Mouseketeers in a comfortable setting.
I also recommend packing layers, since the weather tends to be cooler in the mornings and evenings. You can even
rent a locker if you’d prefer not to carry your extra clothes with you in your backpack or diaper bag.
I hope this information helps, Perla! Please stop by with any additional questions… I’m all EARs!
