I have to share this. I used to work Movie Ride greeter, and we would have people chain their strollers to the Stroller Parking sign. Funny thing was that the sign was just jammed into the dirt, so when we went to rearrange, we would pull out the sign, and move the stroller, chain and all, somewhere else. Preferably as far away as possible.

Ah, stroller parking. Good times. I don't have any good stories yet, but I'm sure I'll have some soon.

I have seen SG chain their strollers the the iron fences. Then I see security with a chain cutter and a Anahiem officer with him. They chop the chain off the fence and wait until the SG returns to usher them out of the park. It is fun to watch.

Now for Sunday, I was people watching out in Frontierland. So male SG with his kids was not to bright. He thought he could bring his kids in the stroller on the Mark Twain. When the cast member told him it was not allowed, the SG went off on the cast member. I heard all the fruits and veggies that exited his mouth. He made it look like it was the CM's fault. It does say no strollers allowed. DUH!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Hmmmm....that's interesting. I've personally called security for several strollers chained to fences and I've never once seen them bring Anaheim PD. I've also never seen them escorted out of the park, they've always been talked to about not chaining strollers to Disney's property and walked away.

It is a conspiracy, if they see you watching they do things differently :D:

At WDW, I once observed a stroller chained to a turnstile in a way that required guests to climb over it to get into the attraction.

Maintenance brought out the big cutters and ... cut through the frame of the stroller -- it's softer material than the chain, which they left in place for the SG to find.

I suspect this tends to cut way back on recidivism.

I'm not saying this is the case, but I'm also not saying it isn't...

Tin foil anyone?

As awesome as that is, I'd put my money on a hopping mad SG screaming up a storm at city hall and receiving 'SG Pay' for his pain and suffering.
