Planning a trip to Walt Disney World with little ones and taking a stroller? While there is a myriad of amazing strollers out there for one or two kids, not all of them are allowed on Disney property. Why? May 1, 2019, Disney introduced a stroller policy change, this means your stroller must be within certain size restraints in order to be allowed through security and into the Parks.
The forums and Facebook groups are buzzing with this new information and everyone is questioning, what this means for them. It’s a fair question. After investing countless hours choosing the right stroller, and paying enormous prices for the said stroller, to be told that yours may not be allowed into the Disney Parks is heartbreaking.
Disney Stroller Guidelines
Beginning May 1, we are adjusting our guidelines on stroller sizes, which will require them to be no larger than 31″ (79cm) wide and 52″ (132cm) long. The good news – many strollers on the market, including many double jogging strollers, fit within these size guidelines. Also, just a reminder that wagons are not permitted in our parks. Beginning May 1, stroller wagons will also no longer be permitted. These updates are designed to help guest flow and ease congestion, making the parks more enjoyable for everyone.

Stroller Wagons Banned
Stroller wagons were named specifically as being banned, as they don’t have the same level of control when maneuvering. They can also be pulled, as well as pushed, and pulled items were already banned many years ago.

Why the New Stroller Guidelines?
If you have ever been on a Disney Facebook group or part of #Distwitter conversations, you will know the frustration that guests (parents and non-parents alike) have when they encounter over-sized strollers.
Most of their frustration is directed at those that can’t seem to control their stroller but there isn’t much Disney can do about that problem. The only thing they can do is try to ease the congestion caused by bulky strollers.
Disney World Stroller Rentals: Should You Just Rent?
The policy change does mention that if you were planning to rent at Walt Disney World or from a third-party rental company, you are probably fine as they already meet specifications. And most traditional single and double strollers already meet these standards, so there isn’t much to worry about.
