My kids and I now play "Who can spot the oldest looking kid in a stroller" when we are at Disney. Banning strollers would completely ruin our fun!
Disney is also for adults.Disney is for kids
recently been run over by strollers with no effort at apology by the parents pushing them
EXACTLY. I so agree with this. The problem is, that it's lacking a lot.A little bit of courtesy and respect can go quite a long way...
What about guests that are not staying on property? If they are going to "BAN" they need to do it across the board. Your suggestion is like saying that selfie sticks are banned except for Guests who sty in the Deluxe resorts. Either ban them or don't. As Andrew015 points out, it's more of a courtesy thing then anything else. Even if someone did have a triple wide stroller.Disney could move a whole lot more people quickly if it weren't for the large, unfolded strollers. I would suggest banning unfolded strollers from the non-resort monorail as parents can use the ferry instead. For monorail guests, how about having a couple of cars dedicated to people with unfolded strollers, again so more people can be moved quickly? Parents would then have the choice of folding their stroller or waiting for room on the "unfolded stroller" car.
Having a folder up stroller doesn't grant anyone the right to a seat. Courtesy is what should allow someone who should need a seat (regardless if they are older, a small child or a parent with a large load of items to keep track of including stroller, kid and bags). As far as I am aware, it's really only mandated for those with handicaps. Everything else is courtesy. Chivalry is not dead for all of us and nor should it be.The solution is clearly to put the adults in strollers also. If everyone is in a stroller, you can't complain about the strollers. Solution courtesy of Harrison Bergeron.
I actually don't understand the logic that granted people with folded up strollers seats on the monorail. I would just walk around with a folded umbrella stroller.
I agree but let's face it, when you have kids AND you are on a budget, the larger stroller to carry the diapers, food/drinks/snacks, camera, change of clothes (depending on weather, time of year, etc..) Sun Screen, or whatever it is you feel you need, it's MUCH easier to push it around in the basket underneath a big stroller as opposed to an umbrella stroller which can essentially only hold the Kid (not much else)Whatever happened to umbrella strollers? I had one that has a sun visor and small storage basket. It folded up super small and was very easy to maneuver through WDW crowds - that thing could turn on a dime.
Why do folks have to use strollers larger than some compact cars?
This is truly a genuine question, absolutely no snark intended.
I like this. While I haven't been run over too much (either by ECV's or Strollers) as I try to be aware when they are around and stay out of their way, if it becomes an issue, I would seriously consider this as an option.1) We have a solution for this.
2) AND IT WORKS.
3) We carry a glass, of water, without a lid), with Grape Koolaid added.
4) When we are hit my a stroller or ECV, we turn around "startled" and SOMETIMES the grape Kooliaid lands on the stroller or ECV.
5) OF COURSE, this is a reaction to suddenly being struck.
6) it is a shame, but operators of ECV's and stroller pushers should be able to watch out for other guests.
That's a good point too, The stroller doesn't necessarily take up less room folded. I know ours (when we did use it) would fold flat taking up a larger foot print when folded. Only if held up and balanced on the 2 front wheels would it take up less space. If dealing with carrying kids and "Stuff" I can definitely see taking up more space.With the size of our stroller (smaller for a double stroller) and twin toddlers and a 9 year old...I think we took up way more room riding the bus with the stroller folded, trying to hold on to the stroller, 3 kids, and our stuff than we did on the monorail with the twins and our stuff in the stroller.
ETA: That is why we drove everywhere except MK.

The Walt Disney World Monorail System operates from one hour prior to earliest park opening until one hour after latest park closing. Please note that no luggage or alcohol of any type is permitted on the monorail. All strollers must be folded and stowed out of the aisle. Medical strollers for Guests with disabilities will be treated as wheelchairs.
Well props to you for actually doing a little research, and I'll keep that in mindApparently they are also supposed to be folded on the monorail.
It's crowded. I don't really let it get to me.
