TS Dining - where do those strollers go?

[Sebby'sCollegeFund]

The first week of Feb I'm taking the wife and two boys (18-months and 6-months) to WDW. I'm curious what folks do with strollers when they do table-service dining at the parks...I've heard that you can't bring strollers into the restaurants. Do you just leave them outside? I'll be bringing a double-stroller, so even if they allowed strollers inside, I don't think the double would fit (or I wouldn't be popular with the people around us).

What options are there?

they have stroller parking. I have seen a single stroller at restaurants when a baby is sleeping but I have never seen a double stroller in a Disney Restaurant.

Excellent. Is the stroller parking inside or outside?

At the parks, stroller parking are mostly outside.
Resort restuarants are outside but can be sometimes inside (like CR for Chef Mickey its inside) or Animal Kingdom

Many thanks for the info!

This might be a silly question - but does anyone ever worry about their stroller "disappearing" while they're inside dining? Am I needlessly worrying?

It's no different than leaving your stroller while you ride a ride. They mostly get moved around by CMs policing the area and rearranging. Don't leave anything valuable in the stroller, of course. But the stroller itself should be fine.

I was worried when we went with our 1 year old in February, but it was for nothing. Sometimes you will have cast members move strollers around a little, but that is all that we found. Stroller parking is usually very easy to find. Also it can help if you can decorate or mark your stroller so that you can find it a little easier. We took one of our luggage tags and labeled our stroller. That helped it stand out a bit.

you are welcome, we have taken our son stroller to 4 Disney trips and never had a problem (although I have read people had things taken from strollers). My husband leaves the diaper bag back then and things we buy and the video camera (we have been lucky that nobody had taken anything). Our stroller has been moved many times by cm but I have a big tag and we try to have something on the stroller so we can find it from the 100 strollers parked.

I don't worry about anyone taking my stroller, but I learned the hard way what happens during a sudden shower while I am inside the Brown Derby blissfully dining on a Cobb Salad. Bring a waterproof cover for your stroller.
