News New Stroller Size/Wagon Rules and Enforcement - Effective May 1 2019

[Missing20K]

There are photos of me in a stroller at the World in 1984.

My mother is in for quite the talking to this evening.

I now hang my head in shame and plead for the mercy of the forum.

As long as we are imposing size limits on things....

We should probably set restrictions on guest size as well? No?

 

[BoarderPhreak]

Not a minute too soon. They should limit them to umbrella strollers, even.

Toddlers walk slowly. They meander. They dawdle. They look at things. Even if they're holding their parents' hand, they're probably going to impede traffic. I don't know how "out of control" strollers are in WDW, but it seems like reasonable stroller use would actually help traffic flow. And keep toddlers safer. (ETA: This was not made in response to Disney's rule, but to the suggestion here that strollers or children who use strollers be banned.)

I think most rational people are fine with a reasonable sized stroller. It's the unnecessary goliath-sized ones carrying a week's worth of supplies and/or perfectly health elementary age kids that are the issue. WDW is not a local farm market or County Fair.

Now if they would outlaw those double-wide strollers I'd throw a party.

The problem in a nutshell: When dads get to pick out the new family stroller.

In a Tim the Toolman voice: "It has fully suspended off-road wheels, 15 pockets and holds 5g of water, augh augh augh!"

 

[BoarderPhreak]

"yeah, ima hit da park today bruh."

 

[Texas84]

how about: don't bring toddlers? Wait until they're old enough to really appreciate everything and can walk on their own...the way we did things back in the day.

Well, that's what my parents did. Guess they were bad parents.

 

[BoarderPhreak]

So... To recap, NOT a stroller (though it does comply).

 

[alphac2005]

Good for them. It's ridiculous with the amount of regular strollers as it is. Kids that can't even fit in strollers of any size and their parents pushing them around. Sorry, pet peeve. Our kids got out and about when they were little and had many strolls around the parks on my shoulders.

These look to fit in the size restrictions, unfortunately.

This is great news, but will Disney limit the size of their own rental strollers?

 

[biggy H]

How big of a stroller is 31" by 52"? I'm not an expert on stroller sizes...

Its 78.74 cm x 132.08 cm....

LOL... No.

I feel like their rental strollers should be the guideline for maximum stroller sizes. They're reasonably sized without being too obnoxious and intrusive.

Yes, but that's a wagon, no? (Even though some will try to tout it as a stroller)

 

[MisterPenguin]

That's not a stroller that's a removal van !!

buzzy

[MisterPenguin]

If we're going to put restrictions on strollers, then there should be a law that the stroller has to face the parent and not forward. This way people stop stopping in order to move around to the front of the stroller to talk to or take care of the toddler.

When at the World the month ago I swear I saw a Keenz 14X or a least a Keenz 12Y. The thing was the size of a double mattress on wheels.

 

[Sans Souci]

These...behemoths! I was sitting in the very open and empty seating at Yak and Yeti counter service. This woman with one of these mobile cribs tries to go around the corner to get to some of the tables which is where I happened to be sitting. I scooted in as close to the table as I could and it wasn't enough for her. She said, "Don't bother getting up." Sarky cow. Why is this my issue, again?
