How do I not get my stroller stolen at Disney?

Each attraction has a dedicated stroller parking area. Make sure that you park your stroller in these zones or your stroller will be moved to them by a Cast Member. If you're not sure where the nearest one is, ask the Cast Member at the entrance of the attraction and they'll be more than happy to assist you.



While actual stroller theft is relatively rare at Disney Parks, the "disappearance" of a stroller is often just a Cast Member moving it to consolidate parking as families exit attractions. To prevent actual theft and make your stroller easier to find, never leave high-value items like tablets, designer bags, or expensive souvenirs in the seat. A popular trick is to make your stroller look "unappealing" or highly recognizable; tie a bright ribbon, a balloon, or even a clean but stained-looking "decoy" diaper bag to the handle. Some parents use a small cable lock to secure the back wheels together (never lock it to a stationary object like a fence, as Cast Members must be able to move it). For ultimate peace of mind, many families now hide an Apple AirTag or similar GPS tracker deep within the stroller's fabric or frame. This allows you to track its exact location via your phone if it truly is moved or taken, helping you alert security immediately.
