Why do the CM's move strollers??

[amystevekai&bump]

If you park in a stroller park - why would CM's feel the need to move them somewhere else?? Or do they just move them around within the same stroller parking area??

As people take their strollers from the parking areas the CM's move the ones left over up into the parking area to make room for the new ones being parked. It is easier to get them in if you don't have to navigate the open spaces. It does make it harder to find your own when you go back for it and sometimes harder to get it out , but that's why they move them. They won't move it to another stroller parking area just up a few rows as they empty out. When you write your name on the card for your stroller make it as big as you can so you can find it better. I have also taken something and tied it to the handle like a red hanky or something like that to make mine more easily identifiable and then just take it off at the end of the day and tuck it in my bag for the next day. It helps to find it later if the CM's have moved it. If you are having a hard time finding yours just ask a CM to help you locate it.

It is more of a 'rearranging' than moving. That is when marking your stroller with something bright comes in handy. I noticed that the guests with rental strollers seemed to have a harder time finding their stroller after it was moved.

Also, be aware if you leave your stroller in an un-approved area, there's a pretty good chance it'll be moved before you get back to the nearest stroller parking area.

Yes indentify your stoller with the most different obnoxious bright looking bandana you can find. Even if it is your own. Many strollers look the same.

We parked ours outside of the Beauty and the Beast show at MGM next to the trash can as a good landmark, there were others there too. When we came out of the show, we could not find it anywhere I was in a panic. Dh finally found it parked in the middle of the street where the CMs had moved and parked a bunch of strollers.

And a lot of people like to leave it where it is most convient for themself, which could be in the way of others, blocking a path (generally the handicap entrance), or in my case my photo location. People always want to park thier stroller around the tree to the right side of Crystal palace (where we take pictures) and none of the CM at Crystal palace ever deal with the strollers, so I constantly have to move them down closer together, or to the other side of the walkway.

The best thing about the rental strollers is they are easily replacable. Either head to the front of the park, or to the nearest merchandise store where some of them have replacement strollers ready to give to you.
Also if you ever ride the train around MK, you leave your rental stroller at the one stop, unload it, and there are a bunch more at the next stop for you to take to continue on, including wheelchairs I believe.
