First time for DGD who is 2. DS is bringing her stroller. I know when I had to rent a scooter that it was never where I left it as the CM's move stuff constantly. What do you do to make your stroller stand out so its easier to find.
 
I put brightly colored ribbon on the handle. I have read that some people buy one of the helium balloons to attach, which might make it even easier to find!
 

I'm going to try to find something with our name to tie or attach to our stroller. If not, I'll bring a scarf to tie.

I have a neon green smiley face luggage tag that I attach to the back of it. Because our stroller is black, we also have a turquoise stroller seat liner that makes it a little easier to spot, plus if my DD makes a mess I can just remove the seat liner and clean it easily.
 
I have never seen more than three balloons tied to strollers at once so I still think that's a great idea.

We have a sign for ours.
 
I had stroller tags made for ours (think lisence plate) from etsy. They were super cute with frozen characters! Also a tip if you have more than one stroller... Buy the stroller links that make two single strollers into a double and link your strollers together every time you park them.... That way they are always together and you arent searching for 2!
 
I had a Big Hero 6 license plate, which made it a little easier to spot. I also tied two target plastic bags to the handle to make it instantly recognizable.
 
We tie a bright bandana around the handle. That being said, once they moved it so far it took 30 minutes to find it!
 
We have a "license plate" for DD's stroller. Worked quite well.
 
I use a lime green ribbon on the handle. My children have a ball looking for it when we return to the area.
 
We had two strollers for 6 days and they were only moved once. I guess we parked them well! lol. I did purchase "tiles" before the trip in case the strollers magically found their way to another part of the park with someone elses kid in them. :sad2:. Never was an issue, but might be something to look into. It uses wifi or gps or something to tell your phone where it is. When you get close it beeps.
 
Tie big bright patterned ribbons on each side. Not only will this help you spot the stroller when it is moved, but it will help others with the same stroller not to accidentally take yours, and vice versa. When DD was young, we had a stroller with an unusual bright colored, I later found out "limited edition" pattern. I had never seen another one like it anywhere. To our surprise at WDW we came out of an attraction at DHS and there was another one just like it parked almost right next to it. I almost grabbed the one that was not ours until I noticed it did not have ribbons on the handles. The CMs do move them a lot. I can't imagine how hard it could be to find yours if it was a common brand, very common color stroller- there could be 10 just like it around it! While there is some stroller theft at WDW, a lot of strollers that are taken or missing turn out to be the result of a stroller mix up- ribbons help keep that from happening.
 
I have never had a problem finding my stroller. Going on 10+ years of stroller travelling (kids are 6.5 years apart) and we go 2x a year so TONS of trips and we have never done anything special and have always found our stroller relatively quickly, even when it is moved. Now I could see it being an issue if you have a park stroller and there are many of the same one, but if you have your own it really shouldn't be that hard to pick it out.
 
We never had an issue finding our stroller either........we always seems to have drinks or something sticking out the top tray which helps. But over all even when the CM's move the stroller we tend to find it right away.
