Where to Find Stroller Parking at Disneyland
Stroller parking at Disneyland isn’t complicated—but knowing how it works ahead of time can make your day go much more smoothly. You can’t bring strollers into ride queues, indoor shows, or some restaurants, so having a plan for where to park it matters—especially if you’re navigating the parks solo with kids.
Whether you’re heading for Peter Pan’s Flight at rope drop or managing snack time with a toddler in tow, having a stroller parking game plan can help you move through the parks with less stress (and fewer meltdowns).
In this post, I’ll walk you through the basics of stroller parking at Disneyland Resort—including key rules and my personal tips—and link to detailed, interactive stroller parking maps for both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.
Do You Really Need a Stroller Parking Map at Disneyland Resort?
Not technically—but I’ve found that having one makes a big difference.
Each land in both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure has stroller parking near all of the major attractions. But when you’re juggling kids, a diaper bag, and a tight park schedule, knowing where you’ll need to park in advance can save time and energy.
The maps I created are based on my own experience in the parks. Just keep in mind: stroller parking spots can move! Cast Members often shift areas around to manage crowd flow. Always look for signs and park in designated areas—your stroller will get moved if it’s left somewhere unofficial.
What to Know About Disneyland Resort Stroller Rules
Before we get into the maps, here are a few important Disneyland stroller rules to keep in mind:
- Strollers must be 31” (79 cm) wide or less and 52” (132 cm) long or less.
- Stroller wagons are not allowed, even if they meet size requirements.
- Strollers can’t go in ride queues, indoor shows, or most restaurants.
- You’ll need to park your stroller in an officially designated stroller parking area.
- Cast Members may move your stroller to keep pathways clear.
- Stroller rentals are available outside the theme parks, just east of the Disneyland Park Main Entrance, or from third-party companies.

Tips for Using Stroller Parking at Disneyland Resort
Here are some tips I’ve learned from experience that can help your day go a little more smoothly:
- Pick a central parking spot if you’re doing multiple rides in the same area. For example, in Fantasyland, I park once and hit several rides before coming back to the stroller.
- Label your stroller clearly. Customizable stroller tags make it easy to spot, even if Cast Members move it.
- Pack a stroller rain cover or towel. Weather can be unpredictable, and your stroller might get stuck outside during a surprise rainshower.
- Don’t panic if your stroller isn’t where you left it. Cast Members move them often to keep the area tidy. Check nearby or ask for help—they’re usually just a few feet away.
Final Thoughts: Stroller Parking Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful
If you’re visiting Disneyland with babies or toddlers—or navigating the parks solo like I often do—knowing the stroller rules and parking spots ahead of time takes a lot of stress off your plate. These stroller parking maps are here to help you prep, avoid surprises, and enjoy the magic with your kids (without wondering where to ditch the stroller).
