Strollers at Fantasmic?

[dismom301930]

How is it finding your stroller after Fantasmic is over? Are all the strollers put in one central location? I would think that there would be thousands of strollers. We may leave MGM in the early afternoon and then come back in the evening. If we do this, would we be better off leaving our stroller in the car? Our youngest DD is very big for her age (over 35 lbs. at 25 months) but I'm thinking it may be better to carry her if she is tired than searching for our stroller and fighting the crowds to get to it. Any opinions would be appreciated! Thanks!

If it's a rental stroller, you are asked to empty it out and it's is just grab any stroller for the walk out.

If it's your own, there is a separate "parking lot" for them and I've never had a problem finding mine and getting out. If you have a folding umbrella-type stroller you can fold it and they stay at the front of the area.

If I were going in the park just for Fantasmic...I probably wouldn't bother w/a stroller. If you're going to be in the park awhile...I'd just mark your stroller w/a lime green hankie on the handle or something that makes it more obvious to find. When you get out, it's somewhat dark, everyone is rushing out and it can be a pain trying to find your stroller... you could leave your stroller in the car, and leaving Fantasmic if she is tired they will let you use the rented ones free..and leave it at the gate...

I don't remember it being a big hassle to find our stroller after Fantasmic and we definitely weren't one of the first ones out. You'll probably appreciate having a stroller with you because it's not that short of a walk from Fantasmic to the buses.

I would use the stroller since there will be tons of people moving out of the arena and park. Course getting a stroller through it all can be hard too, but it will be easier than carrying your child. There will be many strollers and this is when marking yours pays off. You will want something that stands out or up like a balloon (bring one from home so they differ from the ones in the park). I use a bright colored bandana with out last name ironed on it, and pin it to the sunshade. I do remember the last time that I was asked to fold the stroller up to make room for others. That was a pain. You might want to sit in your seat for a few minutes to let the crowd blow out a bit too.

Thank you so much for all your helpful advice! I will most likely use our stroller (since DD is very heavy to carry for long distances) but I will make sure I mark it well to distinguish it from the other strollers.

we hooked a few glow bracelets around our strollers handle.

Since it's dark it makes it real easy to find!!
