Stroller at Disneyland

[ClaraOswald]

We are bringing our own stroller for our trip. Last time we went in February and it wasn't super crowded so parking our stroller outside rides and finding it after wasn't a problem.

But this time we are going in June when it will be more crowded. Do the cast members move the strollers around? I think I recall reading something about that.

If so, any tips on how to make our stroller stand out or something? I was thinking a balloon but figured everyone probably does that, right?

We tied a bright ribbon on our handle. And stuck a unique cup in the cup holder. I've seen some with signs tied to them, but that can be hard to see if another stroller gets put behind yours or yours gets parked backwards.

Yes, they do. But I've never had my stroller moved too far from where I left it. A friend recently did have her stroller taken by the wrong person and she didn't get it back until the last day of her trip. Not sure how often that happens, but doing something to make your stroller stand out might cut down on that. Mine is bright green so I never have trouble finding it.

Friends make a big ribbon "corsage/bouquet" to tie onto the handle. Make sure it is something that is easy to spot at night, too.

I saw one where they had taken some sort of stick and attached a bright colored small pennant to it and then used some sort of clip on the handle to hold the 'flag' so it stuck up and was visible in the crowd of strollers. I didn't pay close attention to how it was made, just noticed it in passing and thought 'how clever'. It looked short enough that when not needed they'd either take it off or swing it down.

Hmm...my husband is more creative than I am. Maybe he can come up with something before we leave. Our stroller is pretty generic looking and I really don't want to be wandering around looking for it each time.

We wrapped the handles of our umbrella stroller with green painters tape. Made it super easy to spot in the sea of black!

Balloons help too!

We attached a colorful ribbon around the handle, and wired a laminated sign to it with our name and phone numbers.

To answer this question, yes, CMs do move strollers. Generally it doesn't get moved very far away, but they do move them (mostly it seems like to consolidate the stroller in the parking area and make more room or to move strollers that are parked in non-designated areas). The last time I was at DL out strollers got moved around in the Buzz Lightyear/Star Tours, IaSW, and RSR parking areas (still in the same area but in a different row or further towards the back of the row). I second the recommendation to tie something bright to the handle.

At night I've seen people attach glowsticks to the wheels which looked pretty cool and easily recognizable in the dark.

Hmm....maybe we'll look for some sort of flag or something that will stick up a few inches from the top to spot from farther away. And something wrapped around the handles too. Our stroller will end up being covered probably...ha!

That sounds fun, I'll have to remember that in July!

On Facebook, I've seen a stroller antennae thingy that glows, with an antennae topper thing on it. I can't remember when you are going, but I know it's soon, so I don't know if it would be able to be shipped in time. It's called a Stroller Spotter.

...if you are afraid of someone taking the stroller, hang a huge cloth diaper dipped in cola from the handle, all enclosed in in plastic bag of course, but folks will have second thought on whose stroller is this......

Luggage pom poms. Attach really well to the handles to be able to be seen from a distance and are very colorful. Can get them at Target, Container Store or Amazon.
