Where do you park your stroller?

[luvmygirls]

Sorry if this has been asked/answered a million times, but I have never been to WDW, so where do you park your stroller when you want to go into a ride or a show?? Also do you leave your backpacks or coolers that carry your water bottles/snacks, or take them with you? It seems like kind of a pain to have to take them with you on and off every ride or into every show..

TIA, sorry for the dumb ?

there are stroller parking areas near each ride/attraction. Occasionaly a CM will move the strollers around or to a different parking area right near by. Not sure exactly why they move them, but sometimes they do. It helps if you put a bright colored ribbon or handkerchief on your stroller handles so it will be easier to recognize your's in a sea of strollers.

Also, we usually just leave our backpack in the stroller as long as there is nothing of any value in it. The camera, wallets etc come with us on the rides in a waist pack that I usually wear all day. The backpack only holds things like diapers, snacks, juices etc. We never had a problem with any being stolen.

Thanks for the quick response! I figured it worked something like that, but thought it best to ask the experts! Have a great day!

The reason they move them is to keep the strollers orderly. As people leave strollers and pick theirs up when they finish the ride, the rows of strollers get all messed up. They don't really stay in rows as people move other people's strollers to get their own out and people just leave the stroller in the walkway as they enter the line for the ride.
I don't know how to explain it, but they move whole rows of strollers down closer to the exit to make more room for new people entering the queue to place their strollers close to the entrance.

that's what I figured...just wasn't sure since I had never asked anyone why they move the strollers around. I can imagine how many people move other strollers to get to their own, then never put the moved strollers back where they belong!

Don't forget to tie a bright colored kerchief on the handle so you can locate your stroller faster. My sister does that and it saves us a lot of time!
