DL's max. stroller size is 31 x 52...

[Disneyland1084]

My DS stroller is 37.5 x 30. Will that be allowed? I tried calling Disneyland but hung up after 10 minutes.

I found this blog post from a couple years ago. It might help? http://www.faisonanne.com/10-popular-strollers-that-meet-the-new-guidelines-for-disney/

If it's 37.5" wide then no. It won't be allowed. The 31" is the maximum width. Are you sure the stroller is 37.5" wide rather than that being the length? It's wider than it is long?

Here is the official information that was released by Disney back when these changes were made in 2019:

Thanks for the responses Monin and Lender. I actually just measured my stroller and it's around 26 x 31. I got confused when I read the tag where it said "Finished size: 37.5 x 30." Now that we're on the subject, does anyone know what "Finished size means"?

Maybe "finished size" is the size when all the "fancy stuff" is up/out/on? Like the sun shade and the boogie board and turbo boosters and such? Really, I have no idea. I mean, in my knitting, "finished size" is impressively more uniform than whatever I created... Turning that idea to a stroller would mean "finished size" would be the size it *should* be, but most likely not the size it would really be when humans are factored in.

Good news for anyone else reading this: Something like 98% of common strollers will fit. They are trying to avoid the "Humvee Stroller for 12" and not worried about the "normal" sized strollers (even with double strollers).

You might want to write your name and phone number on your stroller. Ours was stolen the weekend before our annual passes expired, Sept 2019. We had parked it outside Jungle Cruise and it was gone when we came back.My daughter was devastated because it had been her stroller since she could remember.

I always thought finished size meant like, popped up. ie they weren't measuring the size of a collapsed or folded up stroller like when you're at the airport and have to collapse it to go in the scanner

What stroller do you have, brand and model? We can look it up.

That is what I thought too. But then I read she measured and it was different so I googled...lol...this is what I found.

What does Finished size mean?


Finished size is the final dimensions of the product. If the item is a folder style then the finished size is the size when folded. If the item is flat, non-folding, then the dimensions listed are the complete size of that item.


But I do second on securing your stroller. I have heard some being stolen or misplaced. Ours wasn't but I purposely picked a color that would stand out rather then the generic color as it was a popular model. If yours is a popular model, I would put something that makes it pop. I have seen many dads reach out and grab a stroller only to have mom tell them that not the one and place it back place it back in the stroller parking area, but not the spot where it was left. So then you have lots of confused parents.

I embedded an Apple AirTag into our stroller for our most recent trip, came in handy when DL staff moved it for parking reasons. Obviously wasn’t available for you in 2019, but with the massive user base of Apple products, this is a good one to have these days (and only $30!)

All I know is it's Graco, not sure of the exact model. I'm too lazy to look it up

My daughter will be 7 on Tuesday. I don’t think she will fit in her stroller any longer. I will be honest, I have considered trying to see if she will fit, because she is heavy now.

Also, for standing out. You can bug battery operated string lights at the dollar store. They're short in length, but the perfect length to wrap around a stroller handle. This helps a lot if you plan to use it after dark at all (especially if you're going during a time when the sun sets earlier)

I freely admit I jammed my 7 year old daughter into her stroller (City Mini GT2, 65lb max), she is only 54lbs but all leg (had to remind her to tuck her legs in).

It was her request, and we were paying full price for tickets (this was May 2021), so no time to waste walking (I’m a former New Yorker and I still walk like one). I can probably use this stroller until early 2022.

That was all the validation I needed. Stroller is in the car. We will use it if she fits.

One time my wife put an unused diaper in a plastic grocery bag, poured a tiny bit of soda into the bag and tied it to the stroller. I thought it was a clever way to ward off folks.

If we still had littles, I would be all about the AirTags.
