Strollers in the Hallways at Resorts

Chocolate Cake · May 15, 2019

Is this something new? I just spent a week in a beautiful 2 bedroom villa at Beach Club Villas.

People didn't take their strollers into their villa. The hallways were littered with strollers. Some not even bothering to pull them tight to the wall.

Are people now treating public spaces as an extension of their room? It ruins the upscale feel of the resort.

I saw so much entitlement this past trip, I wouldn't be surprised if people just start storing their luggage in the hallway.

I’ve always seen ECVs all through the halls and have been amazed they allow it. I have to admit I’ve only seen a few strollers over my years, I kind of hope it isn’t becoming a thing. In my experience the halls are cluttered enough with housekeeping carts! While I would love to get the double stroller out of the room, we have always managed to make it work.

That does sound like an eyesore, plus could be hazardous. Also, I’d be worried someone would steal it. Weird behavior. I doubt they’d leave their strollers or EVC in hallways at non-Disney hotels.
I guess you could complain at the front desk. They’d probably go & ask the family to remove the strollers.

Yeah, I dont want to see strollers in the hallways. Fold them and put in the room.

Inconsiderate, a hazard and an eyesore. I’d have called the front desk... kind of like hanging you suits, towels and clothing along the resort railings. Really? Just plain rude, and definitely tacky looking.

Maybe it's an unannounced form of silent protest to the size restrictions? "Disney doesn't realize how many people this effects, we'll show them".

Really!

Isn't there anything in the DVC bylaws or whatever prohibiting this?

I can't stay in several resorts in WDW with my 3 kids because that extra 6-year-old is a fire code violation, but this isn't?

rg35 · May 15, 2019

I'm surprised that it's allowed because it seems like a hazard in the case of a fire or other emergency where people need to evacuate.

The strollers are open, sitting in the hallway??? I would think there hardly would be room left in the hallways.

CMNJ · May 15, 2019

I’ve seen this at the Poly-both ECVs and double strollers but really nowhere else

GADisneyDad14 · May 15, 2019

I don’t know if it is in fact more prevalent, random timing, or I just notice it more, but we have frequently commented recently how many more ECVs and strollers we see in the hallways these days.

Main offender in our travels has been Poly.

Deb & Bill · May 15, 2019

Not only strollers, but ECVs, too. And some of the extra wide ones. And they weren't being charged. Most were outside studios. We had a few moments when we were walking down the hall and met guests going the opposite direction and one of us had to stand to the side to let the others through because the stroller or scooter took up too much space.

It would have been fun to play musical chairs with these things left in the hallway. Let that guest find their stuff.

dansdad · May 15, 2019

Definitely not new in our experience.

Don't know how there is room for the strollers with all the food trays laying in the hallway. :sad2:

I’ve never seen or noticed strollers left in hallways, but I can’t stand the food trays with half eaten food that lays for hours on the ground outside rooms. :crazy2:

We were at Yacht Club last week and noticed several double strollers left in the hallways. We commented on it because it did seem much more prevalent than previous trips.

Chocolate Cake · May 15, 2019

It probably bothered me more than it should have. I just think it is super bold to not take responsibility for your property. I think it's downright rude for someone to clog up a hallway/ruin a thoughtful theme.

I can't even talk about the ECVs yet. Rudest people ever.

Assuming they didn't leave the key, you know how to freewheel?
