I'm thinking "using stroller as wheelchair" is what you'll probably need too.
CM's see strollers, and then point them to the stroller parking area. It's just a habit. They don't think "hmm.. this person might be using it for a reason" but rather it's usually someone who just forgot to park it.
You'll need the card, but also remind the CMs. Don't stand outside the gate of an attraction and glare at the host for 20mins - had that happen once, they were using a rental stroller (so it looked like every other stroller) didn't have their card out, didn't say a word, and since I was busy being run over by easter week crowds, I didn't get close to them, just kept saying "Stroller parking is on the left.." everytime I'd walk within 10ft of them.
I felt bad, but sometimes folks need to be proactive. CM's aren't psychic and are trained to treat every guest the same - so even if your child were to walk abnormally, the CMs would never presume to put him in a disability area, you gotta ask.
Hope this helps a little.
