The boat that goes to Disney Springs, are you allowed to take a small double stroller on it with you? Just thought about it and wasn't sure! thanks!

Read else where that these boats should accommodate strollers - now if it's a double, you may be asked to fold it up. Wheelchairs usually have to be folded as well.

Strollers must be folded. They can only be wheeled onto the larger Boats that you don't have to step down into. The boats that go to Disney Springs are pontoon boats.

Yep, strollers have to be folded, but they are (usually) able to accommodate wheelchairs (just in case a wheelchair user is reading).

I have no problem folding it up! I just wasn't sure with the rule that you can't take them on certain things (like the train at MK (man it would be nice if they would let us take our stroller on it, but I understand why they don't)).

Is this something new? In the past they allowed folded strollers on the RR.

Strollers haven't been permitted on the RR for many years. My youngest is 9 and we were never able to bring his stroller onto the train at either WDW or Disneyland.

Strollers are allowed on the train at WDW. We were there in May with our 2yo grandson. Took the stroller on the train several times. Have to fold it up, but had it. Instructions at every stop always included "please wait until you are away from the platform before opening strollers".

Interesting. Admittedly, we haven't used a stroller in 5 years.

From the Disney Mom's Panel

Q: Can you fold up your stroller & take it on the MK train?

A: You will be happy to hear that yes, you can take your stroller on the Walt Disney World Railroad that makes it's way around Magic Kingdom, as long as it is folded.

I know! This is seriously awesome to know, we took our son when he was 14 months in 2011 and was told we couldn't take our stroller on the train. It was small and could have been folded. When we went with two kids in 2014 we assumed that you couldn't take it on but didn't ask. Seriously this is awesome to know. Will save a walking trip up front from frontier land when we finish the day. DH and I always planned out our path when it was just the two of us depending on where we were and when we wanted to leave to the front via the train. I'm excited to know you can take it on!
