I chuckle at the suggestions by some to ban more than single wide strollers, for one, and for another, that people with strollers drive them to run people over. granted, everyone has different experiences, but here are mine:
1-i had four young children (they are now 9,9,9 and 4). but for two trips, we had 2 double wide strollers. because why should i have to rent four strollers at greater expense (and if i am bringing my own from home, they are even bigger than the rentals). plus, for 4 adults to push four strollers, park four strollers, and oh still hold the hand of the 5th child (my nephew)...it's not logical either. (hey, we were nice, the first of two trips we took in April, after Easter break. Parks were not crowded).
2-on the driving around the parks? my wife and i kept one behind the other to minimize traffic. if there was a mob, one would work their way around, the other followed. you would, however, be AMAZED at how many stupid people (or maybe not?) would cut off a family, step in front of a moving stroller, etc. Last time we took strollers, had that happen to us getting into and out of Kiliminjaro, before the stroller parking area. and the person who did it, and lost their shoe in the process, had the audacity to be ticked. till my wife gave it back to them.
what made/makes it hard for anyone, strollers included, are the previously mentioned folks who just have to stop in the middle of a pathway to wait for someone/check a map/etc. but, thats true anywhere, not just WDW. Happens to me all the time as I am commuting in NYC, people just stop in the middle of the sidewalk
As for what to ban? Definitely the iPads-as-cameras. last time there, we sat behind a whole group, 3 or 4 adults, all using iPads as video cameras. Why not just enjoy the show?
People like you are not what makes them irritating its the ones who use them for battering rams to get through the crowds and those people who bring an suv sized stroller on the busses and either block the aisle or throw it up against other people on the bus.
