This is interesting. Disney plans to institute a stroller ban in Fantasy Faire, citing space constraints. The exception will be: if the child is asleep in the stroller when the guests enter the Faire, they will be allowed to proceed. Wheelchairs and motorized assistance vehicles will also be permitted.
This makes sense to me. In such a small area, a ton of strollers will very quickly clog that area and make getting around very difficult. This should help with the flow of guests. And parents that are upset, shouldn't be. Having a stroller doesn't entitle you. - DisneyFanZoe

Very true. when I don't have my stroller I still feel entitled. - madsdad 1243.9 #66 9:45AM
Ha!! And just a note, I'm a parent, I used a stroller and I stand by what I said. π - DisneyFanZoe 1099.6 #75 9:47AM
Me too. 100% agree! - HasAnyoneSeenMyGlassSlipper 345.8 #435 11:09AM
Totally makes sense in a small area. I hope they have ample space outside it for stroller parking, though, without clogging walkways. - meridafan 1099.7 #74 11:36AM
Definitely agree! We use an umbrella stroller sometimes but it's easier to park it and walk around Fantasyland without it. - kss4tink 216.8 #1426 1:39PM
Oh heck no! I'm bringing my stroller! With my 8yo toddler! - Katrayher 744.2 #139 1:23PM
If they're concerned about wait times and crowding there, they should just ban Fredo, I hear he holds up the lines talking to his women. Much simpler ξ(face for sarcasm) - shadowgamer

Lol it is true I do talk to them a lot and try to do different poses each time. - HanLostLeia 1093.6 #76 1:38PM
Putting out there now: THANK YOU to all the CM's that will need to smile and politely ask that guests with strollers leave the strollers outside. THANK YOU to all the guests with strollers following a policy without causing a scene and being disruptive. - aprilinjune4

They should ban strollers at Disneyland!!! LMBO! Jk! - Armenda
1059.1 #82 6:54AM
LoL. Remember the great debate on banning double wide strollers? ππ - KermitFan13 411.1 #323 7:00AM
You almost had tomatoes thrown at you - Philliprocks 306.6 #590 7:01AM
Oh goodness Kermit!! Lol - Armenda 1059.1 #82 7:05AM
I thought you had a magic switching picture. One where Sully changed sides and your shirt changed color. I was amazed, then I realized it was two different people!! I only wondered a little bit why you were maintaining a convo with yourself lol - jamielynn 142.6 #2451 9:32AM
π³π³π³π³KermitFan13 Oh yes, the stroller war of 1812. Quite a ruckus! ππ - MrsSchnooks 713.3 #142 9:42AM
nothing worse than a stroller to the shin...or the dreaded back of the heel "flat tire" - missariel33 134.5 #2574 11:16AM
Kidding btw ;) - missariel33 134.5 #2574 11:17AM
πππ, Jamielynn. - meridafan 1099.7 #74 11:38AM
Its not the strollers fault its the drivers ππ - DisneyMe2Death 607.7 #184 2:10PM
suuuureeee.... blame the drivers! - Armenda 1059.1 #82 4:36PM
maybe when a child is asleep, parents can rest too and sit down somewhere until they are refreshed and visit fantasy fair when the kid is awake, still keeping it stroller free. - mochamistie
272.8 #820 9:46AM
'Refreshed' ...love that word. Good idea - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1837.7 #43 9:48AM
After seeing the area, its a good idea - BaseballMickey_CM
2993.9 #15 9:44AM
Also, parking for strollers will be near Westward Ho or right outside Fantasy Faire - BaseballMickey_CM 2993.9 #15 9:44AM
Agreed! - iPoca. 911.9 #99 12:28PM
Then the choir of angels sang... πΌπΌπΌ for no ankles shall be ran into in that particular area. - Waites4DodgerEars
689.1 #152 10:32AM
This is why I love winter and I can wear boots! - ShariRenee 1576.2 #51 10:36AM
I think it's like taking strollers in a queue, there just isn't enough room - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint
1837.7 #43 9:49AM
Right. Makes sense! - meridafan 1099.7 #74 11:39AM
Just carry your kid in a papoose, problem solved. This also negates stroller bite and theft from unattended strollers. - shadowgamer
1960.6 #36 10:18AM
Yeah I can totally see someone carrying a 2,3,or4 year old in one πππ - Villescas8 592.9 #189 10:23AM
pic or it didn't happen ;) - ShariRenee 1576.2 #51 10:27AM
OMG, trying to strap Strawbaby into a papoose would be an experiment in itself. Haha! I don't have kids but I know it's impossible to get a kid over like, 6 months to stay in those things. They want to be involved and free. - LaneSparrow316 846.9 #110 10:51AM
Honestly I just wanted to use the word papoose. But can you guys imagine the stroller bite in that small area? Ouch! - shadowgamer 1960.6 #36 11:20AM
*ducking*. Or maybe don't visit this attraction with your child until your child is older? Lil One LOVES Princesses but we have never met the Princesses over by the theatre because of the long wait that she just can not do. We probably won't visit this attraction for a long time either :-( I think 45 mins is her max before a meltdown. Hopefully you will be able to walk around the exterior, I'm dying to check it out. - PrincessDuckie
590.8 #190 11:03AM
I was just thinking this MSG, I'm kinda scared! - ShariRenee 1576.2 #51 11:17AM
When we are down next month we plan on spending much time at the fantasy fairie and I'm good to carry lil duckie for ya.:) - madsdad 1243.9 #66 11:18AM
It's because trolls sleep in - MissMolly 705.7 #144 11:42AM
I'm upset and I'm throwing tomatoes at everyone! π
- Philliprocks 306.6 #590 11:57AM
Thanks Nick, if we were able to go during your visit I would probably take you up on your offer! I really really want to visit this new area. :-) - PrincessDuckie 590.8 #190 1:08PM
What?!!! This is entirely unacceptable!! How dare they! I guess if they won't allow my stroller then they don't want my business!!! I am now an forever boycotting all things Disney! I will be posting slander all over every website I can find! I will be destroying ever Disney thing in my home and never ever watching anything affiliated with Disney EVER again! They have lost my business FOREVER! An I will make sure everyone I know follows! - Deltachiq
973.1 #92 11:48AM
Um, for real? o_O? - Nyghtngale 547.9 #211 8:49PM
they should ban strollers period, I'm tired of Stroller Gangs causing problem through out the parks like a bunch Hoodlums. - vincentchase
645.9 #172 12:17PM
Me am the Stroller Crew are personally offended by this statement and will be sure to hit your ankles next time we see you! - Deltachiq 973.1 #92 12:32PM
this is why I don't like you lol - vincentchase 645.9 #172 1:27PM
Strollers are a pain, literally. I have so many bruises from them. It's amazing how many people try to get them in the lines. I am for banning them especially the doubles. - Winnie111286
292.6 #672 1:19PM
I don't have a problem with strollers. It's the size of some of them that can get ridiculous sometimes - BillE

On our visit to WDW 3 weeks ago we loved that they had designated stroller parking by the carousel and asked to park stroller while visiting Fantasyland attractions. This helped a lot with the stroller congestion in front of attractions, especially with the construction still going on. There were always cast members present to tell us where to park our stroller at every park. kudos to the cast members who are always having to rearange and move strollers. I feel the exception should be infants or those under 1. It will be interesting to hear what they do. - McQueenGal
255.6 #971 5:03PM
Thinking about it now, when we were at WDW last. I don't recall having to jump around a bunch of strollers there. They were present of course, but didn't seem as much. This is most likely why. - Lelundrial 344.9 #437 5:32PM
Any idea where they will set up the stroller parking area? - LaPearleNoir
620.9 #179 6:08AM
Near bippity bobbidi bouquet - RadioMaverick 673.3 #160 6:16AM
Thanks. - LaPearleNoir 620.9 #179 6:40AM
It will be like most queues. I look forward to seeing all the details! - MomWithAJuiceBoxBuzz
923.0 #97 6:35AM
Me too! - LaPearleNoir 620.9 #179 6:40AM
I actually like this - PrincessDuckie
590.8 #190 6:39AM
Yeah. These calls must be a hard decision for DL. With increase of strollers in the parks, it does take away from some of the beauty, and does clog up the walkways. But with an increase of population and added attendance to the parks, it's going to be expected. - RadioMaverick
673.3 #160 9:24AM
This will be an interesting decision. I can already see very angry guests. - aprilinjune4
394.2 #346 9:39AM
So can I and I have had the pleasure to deal with them. Fire codes set by the fire marshal doesn't matter to those people. - Lelundrial 344.9 #437 11:29AM
That's it. Stroller Crew is boycotting Fantasy Faire!! - Deltachiq
973.1 #92 10:08AM
I am kidding of course. I just feel bad for the parents who have kids that don't walk. Carrying a ten month old in hour long lines gets painful. - Deltachiq 973.1 #92 10:10AM
Especially while trying to wrangle a restless 2-3 year old! Luckily, I'm not in that situation, but I know many who are! - duckchub 293.4 #668 10:23AM
I have to take my stroller in lines with me because I have a condition that makes it very painful for me to carry my youngest (he's 3 almost 4). I can't even pull on him and he can't pull on me too hard either. The result is very painful chest pains that simulate a heart attack.
- moomooluvr 272.6 #823 12:36PM
Makes perfect sense.. Fantasy Faire is an attraction and you have to leave strollers outside the queue of most attractions anyways.. to me FF is an expanded attraction queue - justcallmeKP
108.8 #2964 10:25AM
They do this at WDW for the Buzz/Woody meet & greet in Andy's room...I totally understand the desire to not have strollers in there but I still remember how difficult it was to carry my heavy 8 month old in that line. - MinnieMousewife
636.1 #173 10:30AM
They have a meet n greet there?? When? How cool! - MissMolly 705.7 #144 12:01PM
This is not a new land, it's a new attraction. And there are few attractions that allows strollers inside - Philliprocks
306.6 #590 10:58AM
I like the unless the child is asleep clause. I have two kids under the age of 4 and it is not weird for the lil one to crash out while the other is ready to meet and greet the princess. I can't send the 4yr old in by herself this allows me to accommodate the older one while the lil one sleeps. HOORAY! PS my stroller is not a double wide =0) - mojoz01
4.7 #11398 12:19PM
In regards to the sleeping child clause, what happens if the child wakes up somewhere around down the line? How can you prove the child was asleep when some butthurt parent starts instigating things? - cesium55
531.2 #220 12:43PM
Oh I can so see this happening! Good question - PrincessDuckie 590.8 #190 1:09PM
I was thinking that too! Although, maybe they would monitor the lines and then take the stroller from you and park it for you as a courtesy. I imagine if there's not too many people around, they'd cut people slack here and there. - meridafan 1099.7 #74 1:23PM
Good point, I think they should just ban the strollers all together, I have a little one too and don't have anything against strollers, but in this instance it just raises to many "what-ifs" - ribidib 424.6 #306 1:25PM
Honor system? - shadowgamer 1960.6 #36 1:26PM
I agree they should just ban the strollers, sleeping child and all. There are too many other people just looking to complain to get stuff, it's just sad. - kss4tink 216.8 #1426 1:41PM
Guess you'll have to remove your stroller just like everyone else had to. - Winnie111286 292.6 #672 2:32PM
I see parents saying to their 2 year old, "Psst! Pretend your asleep!" lol - RadioMaverick 673.3 #160 10:31PM
Isn't this what they do at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail in DCA? - moomooluvr
272.6 #823 1:41PM
Pretty sure, I don't ever remember having my stroller in there - GarnerPhotography 321.4 #532 3:29PM
I am a stroller toting parent and I completely understand having to leave it outside the attraction ( that's what it is. . .not a new land). I have a 9 month old that I would have to lug around but that's how it goes. However banning strollers in the whole park is rediculous. This is a family friendly park and if I can't take my kids until they are stroller free (about 4 years old) that would be awful! I am always very careful with my stroller and have not yet ran into a single person :) - AZDisneyfam
180.2 #1896 1:48PM
whispers "people just kidding about banning them in the whole park" - ShariRenee 1576.2 #51 1:57PM
i realize most are...but some people aren't. I have had more than one rude person in the park get in my face telling me I am going too slow/in the way and should not be there with a stroller...not MWers of course :) - AZDisneyfam 180.2 #1896 2:05PM
boy was 2, didn't use a stroller, we survived - Lelundrial 344.9 #437 2:07PM
I don't think they will ever ban strollers in the park, nor do I think anyone suggested it (seriously) so I think you're ok :) - MissMolly 705.7 #144 2:07PM
Everyone's needs are different. Some kids do fine without a stroller others need a stroller and in my case, I need my son to be in a stroller.
- moomooluvr 272.6 #823 2:08PM
But think about the arms you will get carrying him around. Check out these guns. πͺ - Lelundrial 344.9 #437 2:38PM
I've had people get mad at us for going too slow while our 2 year old was walking. It almost closing time, on a week night. We were walking right next to the Golden Horseshoe, not even in the middle of the street and these ladies behind us were right on our heels. The area was not crowded at that time and they had plenty of room to go around but they decided to stay on our heels. When we moved to look at something they shouted something at us. I mean, we were just walking with our 2 year old! You can't win either way apparently. - kss4tink 216.8 #1426 4:02PM
I know this must have been a difficult decision for Disney to make but overall I think it is going to allow everybody to truly enjoy the experience. Plus there really does need to be some consideration when it comes to safety and keeping the fire marshalls happy. - Bibba
284.7 #720 3:20PM
I was just thinking about this. I think the only reasonable place to put strollers would be to the right of the Royal Theater and left of the entrance of the shop. - JoshTheJunkyardJamboreer
254.0 #999 4:07PM
Love strollers but I also enjoy experiences in the park without them. i'm ok with no strollers in this area. Umm can we add a stroller only section for parade viewing too. - pinkmonkeys
334.9 #463 4:14PM
Where do they plan to park all those strollers?? - Mimmy
1405.6 #57 5:32PM
I'm thinking strollers will not be the issue here. It is just going to be CROWDED! - Plumiegirl
3502.9 #11 5:47PM
Oh yes! - ShariRenee 1576.2 #51 5:50PM
This will be nice. - MeridasHair
332.8 #475 5:53PM
I love this idea! - Nyghtngale
547.9 #211 8:53PM
Yup- totally going to need a leash to keep track of my 1.5 year old. That's ok. I totally understand the stroller thing. - mayapapayah
8.1 #7724 9:11PM
After being in the parks yesterday & had my toes run over several times - Love the idea. - Winnie111286
292.6 #672 12:47PM
Great idea! - msdizmaui
521.5 #226 1:18PM
According to a plaid a spike to the stroller parking with be over by the Matterhorn - Bambi.
