Strollers in restaurants

[jasmine91]

We will be taking a double umbrella stroller for our toddler and infant, therefore, we will not have a car seat carrier to take the baby in while we dine at restaurants. Are strollers allowed at CS restaurants? How about Goofy's Kitchen?

I seen strollers in the CS restaurants, but they weren't all equally easy to navigate. The larger the seating area, the easier it is to have a stroller. Personally, I don't think it's that easy to navigate stroller inside the Plaza Inn (outside seating area is okay) or French Market (narrow(ish) aisles). At least, those are two where we opted to take the little one out of his single stroller because we didn't want to try and maneuver the stroller through the inside seating area. We did leave him in his stroller at Hungry Bear, Pacific Wharf, Redd Rockett's, and Boardwalk Pizza.

Every time we have brought a stroller, they have required us to park it outside. I thnk if you have a sleeping baby, they'll be more willing to let you bring it in, however I think doing that with a double stroller will be difficult as there just isn't room.

DisneyJamieCA - do you mean at the TS location? I'm just checking because we were asked to leave the stroller outside at Surf's Up (another TS location), but none of the CMs we came across said anything to us about the stroller at the CS location.

I am pretty sure they will make you park it and carry the baby in at Goofy's kitchen. You probably want to bring some sort of baby wearing device for the baby. Depending on age, a ring sling would probably be easiest if you are not normally a baby wearer.

I have definitely seen stroller parking outside of Goofy's Kitchen and I don't remember any strollers being inside last time we visited. We don't do a lot of table service dining in general, but I also don't remember seeing strollers inside Carnation Cafe. There just isn't room inside a lot of these places. Counter service locations are less policed, often have more seating, and more almost always have some outdoor seating available, so strollers are more manageable for counter service.

I'm trying to think back to the places we've eaten. I guess most CS would be doable - although I don't know what Plaza Inn does at lunch/dinner. I know for breakfast, they make you park your stroller. Like was said, places with outdoor seating would be easier with the stroller, but I can still think of some where it would be a tight fit (especially with a double).

All of the TS places we've eaten, we've been directed to park the stroller outside.

I (started to write "we" and then realized that sounded like I had an adult with me. It was just me and my 3 girls) took our (single) stroller in to the Minnie and Friends breakfast at the Plaza Inn, primarily because the baby was asleep in it at the time. We were seated outside, but on the porch (covered) area. We also took it in a Flo's, but wouldn't have if it had been busy at the time.

It depends how big your double stroller is. I think you'd have a hard time getting it through the exit gate at French Market and I think the path to avoid the stairs at Plaza Inn is pretty narrow. If you're doing someplace like Goofy's for breakfast is it possible to bring a seat and then return it to the room or car before going into the park?
