With so much circulating on social media about Disney's policies, it's easy for confusion to spread. From Instagram posts to TikToks, there's a lot of conflicting information. As a family-focused service, we want to set the record straight. In this blog, we'll walk you through the do's, don'ts, what's happening, and why Disney has made certain decisions so your family’s Disney experience can be stress-free.

The Do's

When visiting Disney, especially with little ones, it’s essential to stay informed on park policies. Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Follow the Latest Stroller Guidelines: Disney has specific stroller size restrictions (no larger than 31" wide and 52" long). City Stroller Rentals offer options that meet these requirements perfectly.

• Use of Off-Site Rentals: Their service allows you to pick up your stroller at the your hotel, meaning you don’t have to lug your own or pay high rental fees in-park. This saves time and money!

• Pack Smart: Disney allows you to bring your own snacks and baby essentials. We also offer baby gear rentals, so you don’t have to carry bulky items like diapers or feeding boosters.

The Don'ts

Avoid the following common mistakes that have led to issues for some families:

• Don’t Overlook Size Limits: As tempting as it is to bring large, comfortable strollers, Disney won’t allow them. Always double-check the dimensions before heading out.

• Don’t Miss Out on Delivery: Some families have been misinformed about off-site rentals not being allowed. With City Stroller Rental service, we deliver everything you need right to your hotel or rental, making your trip seamless.

• Avoid Social Media Myths: Not all the “hacks” or rumors you hear online are correct. Rely on official Disney sources and trusted partners like us to get accurate information.

What’s Happening

Lately, Disney has implemented several changes, and it’s causing some confusion:

• Updated Stroller Policies: This is largely for safety and park navigation, ensuring that walkways remain clear for all guests.

• New Attractions and Events: With recent park expansions, including new shows and experiences, Disney is focused on crowd control and guest safety, which often leads to stricter policies around family gear.

Stay updated on these changes so you can plan your trip accordingly!

Why Disney Made These Decisions

Disney’s decisions are often driven by safety and guest experience:

• Crowd Management: The park has become busier with new attractions. Ensuring safe and clear paths means strict enforcement of stroller policies.

• Safety Concerns: Larger strollers pose a tripping hazard, and the policies ensure that all families, including those with children or disabilities, can move easily around the park.

• Guest Flow: With certain high-traffic areas, limiting the size of personal items, like strollers, helps with smoother guest flow.

By understanding Disney's perspective, you can navigate the parks more easily and avoid surprises.

We hope this blog helps clear up the confusion around Disney’s recent policies. City Stroller Rentals is committed to making your family vacation as stress-free as possible by providing gear and advice that follows the rules while keeping your family comfortable.
