stroller parking maps?

[CandleontheWater]

I know that Robo has wonderful maps for almost everything, but does he have maps that show where the stroller parking areas are in each park? This will be our first time going down with a kiddo, so I'm trying to get a feel for all the new landmarks I'm going to have to become familiar with. Maybe I'm a crazy over-planner, but I would love to know in advance where to park the stroller before getting on rides.

There's stroller parking near almost every attraction (or section of attractions.)
You can't miss the parking areas.

You are so bad Robo that you are good.


But seriously for the OP, there is stroller parking at almost every ride. You won't have to park it and then hoof very far at all. This is the one area you don't have to over plan. Everything else is still fair game. From one who does.


Make many magical memories.

Man, talk about too much information!!! As already noted, there is parking for strollers at every single attraction. The problem with maps is that the area for parking strollers can easily change. It will be very easy to find the parking area for each attraction. Certainly not worth stressing about before you get there.

OP-definately have your stroller well marked and distinguishable as yours, as it may be moved from the time you park it!! I am sure you know this, planner that you are Less time spent searching for the elusive stroller, more time having fun!

Have a magical trip with your little bebe'

Yes, CM's move strollers around while you are riding an attraction - there have been many times that we've come out of a ride to find our stroller in a different spot from where we first placed it. Sometimes it takes a minute or two to locate it - they're moved around to make more space, or neaten the area up, or even moved to the correct stroller parking area if you've parked it in the wrong spot. It was disconcerting the first couple of times it happened - until we realized what was going on.

I graduated several years ago from needing strollers for my girls, but I do recall how overwhelming having that new baby seems. But, truer words were never spoken: stressing over where to leave your stroller is definitely not worth it.

Ok, I have never paid attention to strollers in the park before, and I wasn't sure if there was one place for each land, or major section of each park. I just wanted to be as courteous as possible to my fellow guests by making sure I knew where I was going and as helpful as possible to the cast members, making sure I was using the correctly designated spots, so they wouldn't have to waste time moving my stroller and could be concentrating on making magical memories for others. I'm sorry if this came off as a silly question.

It's not a silly question and I am sorry some are jumping all over you for trying to be prepared! When you have a new baby-preparation makes life easier.

There are five that I can think of that are a little confusing, i.e. not directly by the entrance to the attraction.

At Epcot - The parking for anything in the Land (Soarin', Living with the Land, etc.) is along the incline into the building - strollers are not allowed in the building. And for the Seas with Nemo & Friends attraction/building the parking is across from the sea gulls in a little roped off area.

At the MK - the parking for IASW is near where the skyline attraction used to be so it is about halfway between IASW and the overpass before you get to the HM. And for Buzz, TTA, & Astro the parking is just to the left (if looking at the entrance) of the TTA and across from Buzz.

At DAK if you go on the safari you will take your stroller into the que and about halfway through there will be CM off to the right that will take your stroller and park it. When you exit the stroller the parking "lot" will be to your right after you have exited.

All of the stroller parking is very well marked. I do recommend finding some way to make your stroller stand out. We had a bright yellow stroller that we used so it was always very easy to find. If you have a more muted colored stroller tie a bright scarf or something to the handle or upper support area.

I see LilGMom already mentioned the Safari stroller parking area. From a non-stroller guest, that's the worst one for me. The line comes to a dead stop at times when parents don't realize that have to leave the stroller halfway through. So be prepared for that one. And if there are two adults, one can stay behind to stow the stroller while the others of the party continue on. I haven't seen anyone in that line every accuse the second adult of line jumping at that point.

Also remember that no strollers are allowed in the entire Land pavilion. You will have to leave it outside for anything in there.
