Disneyland Stroller Policy: What Strollers Are Allowed?

The Disneyland stroller policy allows personal strollers no larger than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long. Standard and double strollers are permitted if they fit within that limit. Wagons and stroller wagons are not allowed, even when they are pushed instead of pulled.

Those rules apply at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. You can bring your own stroller, rent one near the theme park entrances, or request a stroller-as-wheelchair tag when a stroller is used as a mobility device for a qualifying disability.

The size rule is simple, but using a stroller smoothly involves a few less obvious details. Here is what to measure, where you will need to park, and what happens when you ride a parking tram.

Disney can update its operating rules, so it is worth checking the official Disneyland stroller FAQ shortly before your trip. You can also review my broader guide to Disneyland park rules if you are planning what to carry through security.

What Strollers Are Allowed at Disneyland?

Disneyland does not publish a list of approved stroller brands. A stroller is acceptable based primarily on its dimensions and whether it is actually a stroller rather than a wagon.

Umbrella strollers, travel strollers, jogging strollers, tandem doubles and side-by-side doubles can all be allowed. The stroller must be no more than 31 inches across and 52 inches from front to back. A compact name or design does not guarantee that it fits, so check the manufacturer’s open dimensions or measure it yourself before leaving home.

Measure the stroller while it is fully open. Include wheels, handles and any accessories that remain attached during use. This is especially important with wide side-by-side double strollers and long jogging models.

Are Double Strollers Allowed?

Yes. Disneyland allows double strollers as long as the complete stroller stays within the 31-by-52-inch limit. A tandem model is not automatically better than a side-by-side model. The actual open dimensions are what matter.

Are Wagons or Stroller Wagons Allowed?

No. Disneyland prohibits wagons and stroller wagons. The ban applies even if the wagon is smaller than the stroller dimensions or has seats, a canopy, a push handle or safety harnesses. A foldable wagon is still a wagon.

If you were planning to carry children and supplies in a wagon, switch to a qualifying stroller or arrange a rental. My separate Disneyland wagon policy guide explains the restriction in more detail.

Where Can You Use a Stroller at Disneyland?

You can push a stroller through the parks’ public walkways, stores and many dining areas when space permits. You generally cannot take a regular stroller into attraction queues or onto rides. Look for designated stroller parking near the attraction entrance and follow any signs or Cast Member directions.

Strollers are not allowed on escalators. Elevators and ramps may be used where available. If you ride a Disneyland parking lot tram, Disney requires you to remove your child from the stroller. This is worth considering when choosing among the Disneyland parking options, especially if you have a large double stroller.

Disneyland rental strollers have their own travel limits. They can be used in Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park and the Downtown Disney District, but they cannot be taken into Disneyland Resort hotels or aboard parking lot trams or buses.

Disneyland Stroller Parking Tips

Stroller parking areas can fill with similar-looking black and gray models. A little preparation can save time every time you return from a ride:

• Add a visible identifier. Tie on a bright ribbon, luggage tag or removable handle cover that you can recognize quickly.
• Photograph the parking location. Take a quick photo of the closest attraction or sign before walking away.
• Expect the stroller to move. Cast Members regularly reorganize stroller parking. If it is not exactly where you left it, check the surrounding rows before assuming it is missing.
• Keep valuables with you. Take phones, wallets, cameras, tickets and medication into the queue. Stroller parking is not secure storage.
• Pack for quick transitions. Keep one small essentials bag ready to lift from the basket when you park.

Before loading the basket, check the Disneyland bag policy and prohibited-items list. Storing something under a stroller does not create an exception to the park’s security rules.

Should You Bring Your Own Stroller or Rent One?

Bringing your own stroller usually gives you more flexibility. Your child already knows it, you can use it between the hotel and the parks, and you control its storage and recline features. The tradeoff is transporting it through the airport, parking area or rideshare drop-off and confirming that it meets Disney’s dimensions.

Disneyland also rents single and double strollers outside the theme parks, just east of the Disneyland Park Main Entrance. Disney currently lists the prices at $18 per day for a single stroller and $36 per day for a double stroller. Those prices can change, so verify them before your visit.

A park rental is convenient if you only need wheels during your theme park day. It is less useful if your child needs a stroller for the walk from a hotel, inside a hotel, or while getting to and from the parking area. See my complete guide to renting a stroller at Disneyland for the current location, costs and practical tradeoffs.

Using a Stroller as a Wheelchair at Disneyland

A stroller-as-wheelchair tag is available for guests with disabilities who use a stroller as a mobility device. Disneyland says the tool may be appropriate for a child with a disability who uses a stroller instead of a traditional wheelchair, a child who needs the stroller to transport additional medical equipment, or an adult with a mobility disability who uses a stroller to assist with walking.

Visit Guest Relations to ask about the tag. If it is issued, the stroller can be treated as a wheelchair and kept with the guest in attraction queues. The tag does not turn an ordinary convenience stroller into a queue-access device, and it is separate from Disability Access Service.

My overview of the Disneyland disability policy covers additional services and planning considerations.

A Practical Stroller Checklist

• Confirm the open stroller is no more than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long.
• Leave wagons and stroller wagons at home.
• Practice folding the stroller so you can collapse it quickly when transportation or space requires it.
• Add a name tag or bright identifier.
• Bring a rain cover or lightweight cover appropriate for the forecast.
• Keep valuables and necessary medication in a bag you take into queues.
• Use reusable ice packs rather than loose or dry ice if you pack food in a cooler.

If you plan to carry snacks and drinks for children, review the Disneyland outside food policy before packing the stroller basket.

The easiest way to avoid a problem at the entrance is to measure before the trip and leave any wagon at home. Once inside, a visible stroller marker and a small grab-and-go essentials bag make attraction stops much easier.
