Storage for strollers in the park

[TLM2015]

So I have been to WDW multiple times but this is our first trip to Disneyland and honestly I don't even know if I have the answer to this question at Magic Kingdom either. I wanted to bring a stroller for the walk to and from the hotel (we are staying at the Alpine Inn) for my 1 year old (or probably for my 6 year old as well depending on how the day goes) but I hate touring with a stroller and prefer to use a baby carrier in to maneuver through crowds and I don't think he'll sit in the stroller all day anyway so then I'll be stuck pushing a stroller around. Anyway, I would like to use the stroller then just leave it in one location for the day and pick it up later. Is there storage or some place to leave it in the front, like at the package pick up area at Disneyland? Worst case scenario I'm sure I could leave it in one of the stroller parking areas but I'm afraid it would get moved or stolen if just left there all day. Honestly I'm more worried about it getting moved and then not being able to find it.

I also use a carrier during the day but find it's nice to have it in case they will sit in it or to use for storage of snacks, drinks, clothes, diapers, wipes and a place to lay him on- so we usually find a central location for stroller parking and leave it there as we go around that "land." For example- we will park near the carousel in Fantasy land and do a bunch of rides there first thing in the morning, so it sits there for 2+ hours then we take it if we go to another area of the park. It does get moved a little but we put bright ribbons on ours so it stands out and we've had no issues losing it or having things or the stroller stolen in the 3 years we've gone (we leave non-valuables only). Hope that helps!

Thanks that sounds like a good plan.

There's also huge lockers at the picnic area just outside of security checkpoint on the west side where the trams let off. They're hidden behind a hedge so ask a cast member if you can't find it. They're big enough to fit a small suitcase or 3 large backpacks

Note, the west security check is going through a dramatic change in the next 2 months, and who knows what the status of the Picnic area and the lockers will be. (Downtown Disney will be in the secure area).

I had heard about the updated security check...just based on what was said in that pretty incomplete article, I doubt that there will be any effect to the picnic area other than it'll be inside the security blanket now.

That makes no sense, as it was the area to take "forbidden items" such as oversized food, coolers, etc. How can they prevent those things if you can take them through security?

My guess, a new Picnic area is made (or maybe two), one on the east and west side of the security checks.

I can see them adding 2 new sets of lockers but it doesn't make sense to me to move those unless they want to build entirely new picnic areas. Is there even room? But it makes sense now why those are there so close to other lockers and just outside of security. I guess we'll see
