Only one problem with that...it wouldn't be a deterrent because gate-checking strollers is free.

I think it’s outrageous. Why won’t Disney let me bring in my repurposed tractor trailer containing our 3 kids, 60” YETI cooler with 50 pounds of loose ice, full change of clothes for all, winter jackets, bathing suits, hamburger buns, ground beef, Weber 3 burner grill, case of Bud Light (dilly dilly) LG 46” 1080P LED TV, and Xbox one into the park! What am I supposed to do, leave some of that crap at the hotel like a normal person? AAHHHHH

I wish this would happen but it never will. How are they going to stop babies and toddlers from going to an amusement park? What I WISH they would do is put a height limit on strollers. I freaking hate seeing 7+ old riding in the strollers with their feet dragging on the ground, taking up walking room simply because the precious children "don't want to walk".
Note, there is a BIG difference in children that need a wheelchair vs a stroller. Same with adults who get wheelchairs instead of walking.

It's probably not totally related but ... I could see this be enforced partly due to space limitations for the gondola.
I did not know that ImperfectPixie. I wonder though, if the knowledge that you, as the guest, must provide your own stroller/scooter...one won't be available for you to rent...would do enough to significantly reduce the numbers? Just throwing ideas out there.
And maybe the Disney company could offer strollers for SALE...for those that think they must use one, but don't want to be responsible for getting one there. But they'll have to pay Disney prices. So like many hundreds more than a normal stroller would cost. Again, an idea.

Having to provide your own would likely decrease the number of older children (who are perfectly capable of walking all day) using strollers. Disney does sell strollers in some of their gift shops - we bought one our first trip with the kids because we brought a sit-and-stand double stroller that was ridiculously hard to maneuver and our oldest didn't really use it anyway. And honestly, the price to purchase one wasn't THAT bad.

Am I the only one who saw '5 point safety harness'? Is this a stroller or a stock car?

If I recall...it was a slightly better model than an umbrella stroller and cost $40...around $10 or so more than we would have paid at Walmart.

That's how people have been able to circumvent the "no wagons" policy...the 5-point harness was used to get it "certified" as being as safe as a stroller.

I think my biggest issue isn't the size of the stroller, it's the occupant and the driver. A parent not paying attention OR a parent using their stroller as a battering ram to say go against the standing traffic on main street....problem. An elementary (or OLDER) child without different needs or worse, just all your crap IN a stroller...also a problem. I'm not a parent, so I can't really say what a parent needs in a stroller for their munchkins, I just know from photos that my stroller was nothing more than a strip of fabric between two handles that happened to have wheels. I'm a bit jealous of the little ones these days with all the fancy bits added in. The shade with the fan clipped on? SO JEALOUS

We have been taking our grandchildren since their births; one will be 5 years and the other 6 years on their next visit. We haven't used a stroller for either in the past two years. We take breaks when needed. They have gone open to close on some days.
Weber makes gas grills, too. And there are gas grills with channels to hold charcoal to give your gas-grilled food that freshly BBQ-ed flavor...

Yes but he literally used the word "charcoal." "Weber 3 burner charcoal grill."
I have a Weber Genesis Premium EP-330 in Limited Edition Crimson, a Weber One-Touch Gold in Limited Edition Crimson, and a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker. I know what they make.

I am wondering how they will enforce the width and length at the park entrance? Will there be a stationary metal bar/shoot/corral thing that parents with strollers will have to approach and see if they fit through? Kind of like the bag size check device they use when you are boarding airplanes? Or will the security guys have to pull out a tape measure?!
Ah, but do you have the rotisserie attachment for any of those???

They're not going to ACTUALLY measure.
If a stroller looks to the naked eye to be a normal-sized stroller that a sane person would use, they're going to let you in and not say a word. I don't think people realize how big the dimensions are. Most double jogging strollers will still be under those dimensions. The rule is to eliminate comically large monstrosities.
My spatchcock chicken requires no such accessories.

I’m wondering if they just might warn security/staff about which models to watch out for. Like that Keeze 7S monstrosity. What the hey is that thing?

Even that is within the dimensions.
The ban on stroller wagons is much more significant than the 31x52 limit, which applies to almost nothing.
