Where to Park It So You Don’t Lose It
Before we zoom in on specific areas, a few general stroller parking basics:
- Look for the signs and Cast Members
Stroller parking is usually marked with signs or a taped-off/roped area. If you’re not sure, ask a Cast Member—they’ll point you to the right spot. - Don’t park “wherever”
It’s super tempting to tuck your stroller off to the side of a ride entrance, but Disneyland keeps walkways clear for safety. If you park in a non-stroller area, a Cast Member will likely move it. - Your stroller will probably be rearranged
Cast Members are like stroller Tetris masters. They’ll shift strollers to maximize space or clear pathways. Don’t panic if yours isn’t exactly where you left it—just look in the same general area. - Take valuables with you
Treat stroller parking like a coat rack, not a locker. Keep wallets, phones, and important items on you. - Add something bright
A ribbon, tag, or colorful handle cover makes it way easier to spot your stroller in the sea of black and gray ones.
With that in mind, let’s talk about two big stroller hot spots:
Stroller Parking in Mickey’s Toontown
Toontown is basically stroller central. It’s colorful, kid-focused, and full of attractions that draw families with little ones, which means the stroller parking game is strong here.
Where You’ll Park in Toontown
You’ll typically find stroller parking:
- Near Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway – There are designated stroller areas close to the entrance, managed by Cast Members who keep things organized as crowds ebb and flow.
- Around the main walkways and play areas – Look for stroller parking signs near attractions and play zones so walkways don’t get clogged with parked strollers.
Because Toontown is more of an open, interactive land (lots of places to explore and play versus just one big queue), strollers get parked and retrieved constantly. Disney keeps most of the strollers grouped in clusters so kids can move around safely.
What It’s Like
- Busy, but organized
During the day, especially mornings and early afternoons, stroller parking fills up fast. Cast Members regularly straighten and condense strollers so more families can fit. - Walkable for little legs
Toontown is compact. You can usually park once, then walk to the houses, play spaces, and attractions without needing to move your stroller every five minutes. - Great place to “home base” your stroller
If your kiddos are playing in the fountain area, exploring Goofy’s or Donald’s spots, or you’re grabbing snacks, parking your stroller in a designated area and wandering for a bit works really well here.
Tips for Toontown Stroller Parking
- Snap a quick photo of where you parked (including a nearby building or sign) so you can find it later.
- Consolidate bags before you park—grab your essentials and leave bulky non-valuables under the stroller.
- Expect movement – your stroller might get shifted to a tighter row while you’re gone. Look for it in the same cluster, just rearranged.
Stroller Parking at Jungle Cruise
Now let’s head over to Adventureland, where walkways are much narrower and things can feel more chaotic—especially around Jungle Cruise.
This area is stroller-heavy but doesn’t have as much open space as Toontown, so stroller parking is more controlled.
Where You’ll Park Near Jungle Cruise
Jungle Cruise stroller parking is usually located:
- In a designated area near the entrance/queue, off to the side so it doesn’t block the main walkway through Adventureland.
- Cast Members will often direct you exactly where to park, since that part of the park can get congested quickly.
You’ll see clearly marked stroller parking zones, and during busy times, a Cast Member may even be standing there just to help manage strollers and keep the path clear.
What It’s Like
- Tight and busy
Adventureland is cozy by design, and with Jungle Cruise, Indiana Jones Adventure, and food stands all nearby, it’s a high-traffic area. Strollers need to be packed in efficiently. - Quick in-and-out stop
Most people are parking just long enough to ride Jungle Cruise, maybe grab a nearby snack, and then move on. So strollers turn over quickly. - Rearranging is almost guaranteed
Because space is limited, Cast Members will shift and stack strollers like puzzle pieces. Don’t be surprised if yours moves a few feet while you’re off sailing with your skipper.
Tips for Jungle Cruise Stroller Parking
- Fold it if you can
If your stroller folds easily and you’re comfortable doing that, it can help Cast Members make more room and may keep your stroller a bit more “tucked in.” - Keep your must-haves on you
Since this is a higher-traffic squeeze point, keep your wallet, phones, and irreplaceable items in a backpack or crossbody you bring into the queue. - Remember what it’s parked near
Note a landmark—like a specific trash can, sign, or tree—so you’re not wandering in circles in the middle of Adventureland searching for “the black stroller with the cup holder.” (So… all of them. 😂)
Final Thoughts: Surviving Stroller Parking Like a Pro
Strollers at Disneyland can feel overwhelming, but once you know:
- to follow the stroller parking signs,
- expect Cast Members to rearrange,
- and keep your valuables with you,
…it becomes just another part of your park day rhythm.
In Toontown, think of stroller parking as your home base while the kids explore and play.
At Jungle Cruise, treat it like a quick “park and sail” stop in a tighter space.
Either way, a little preparation (and maybe a bright ribbon on that handle) goes a long way toward making stroller parking one less thing you have to worry about—so you can focus on the fun, the photos, and maybe sneaking a churro while the kids are buckled in. 😉
