Hard no! They need to be used for the disabled people. Who use walkers, canes, wheel chairs, scooters or have service dogs. I’m disabled I use a cane I have braces on my knees and I have my son help me in and out of the tram. I’ve literally been pushed by younger entitled people to get in the front area. Just because you have a stroller you’re not entitled to the bigger area fold it up and figure it out. That’s exactly what my daughter’s done several times.
No, just because you have a stroller doesn’t make you special. Not all but a lot of those kids are too big to be in strollers
It’s not about that btw, it’s about space needed for some strollers and especially for the red tagged strollers that are deemed as “wheelchairs” by the park. There’s tons of other rows for non stroller guests but only 2 rows on each tram to accommodate these type of strollers. It’s not difficult to be kind and considerate of that demographic.
There is a sign at the beginning of the ramp that it’s for those requiring ADA accessible loading. I forget the exact wording but it’s clear. The only strollers allowed will have a special red tag on them.
All riders may have only one person accompany them, not their entire group or family. Seating is even less sometimes because a bench will have to be raised to accommodate scooters and those unable to move from wheelchairs, just like on a bus.
Lastly, regular strollers that meet the requirements for use inside the parks can and will fit in the trams’ regular rows, folded up of course. I have a feeling this is the real issue, having to remove the kids and fold the strollers up, especially if they’re sleeping.
Too bad. First come, first served. Maybe get a streamlined smaller stroller, instead of one that holds the entire contents of your house. And fold it up. Be glad the trams are back and wait your turn.
If it doesn’t have a sign that states strollers only, then it’s not. There are various reasons for sitting up there. One could be a family of 6 or 7 with children that should not be sitting in a row alone. That front seat has 2 rows.
Yeah that’s a no from me. Unless it’s designated for strollers it’s first come first serve. At any rate, the elderly, those with ECVs will also want to be in that area of the tram, and I’m sorry, but there are a LOT of people there with strollers, ECVs or disabilities so it’s unrealistic you’ll get there first and beat out everyone else who also have strollers and ECVs. You have a stroller so stick your tired kid in it and wait your turn for the tram, monorail, whatever. This story reminds me of the woman screaming she had to deny her kid a pretzel and said parents with kids should get head of line privileges. At a Disney theme park, mind you ?

The first 2 rows facing each other at the front of the tram are for those of us that need a ramp because of a wide variety of medical conditions. IF there is extra space the CM will have people with stroller go there too BUT my feet have been squished by roller wheels and knees hit as the strollers are pushed and pulled to fit. Leave that space for those who physically need it due to health issues. By the way there is additional larger space seating toward the back of the tram
I was a parent who, just a few years ago, had his second daughter in need of a stroller. When we parked at Disney, we always used the back rows (they were usually shorter lines) and had no problems getting our overly large stroller folded and into the aisle. That’s the way we always did it. Now unfortunately, I find myself in the very unpleasant position of being disabled and requiring an ECV in order to share the Disney Magic with my NOW young teen daughter. The front area of the tram with a ramp, is really the only way I can get me and my family, plus my needed ECV from the distant parking areas to the gate. If you are fully capable of lifting your stroller into your car, then you can lift it into the tram. Just like busses that have handicap signs on seats instructing you to relinquish your seat to those in need. The same goes for this section. As for the writer who wrote this story, perhaps in the future you could champion those in need, rather than those who feel privileged? Just my two cents.
Entitled or common courtesy?? ..again society has and will continue to “lose its way” in what once was. Too bad
No priority for strollers! The parents should also be careful with strollers. They run into people in crowds, and do not seem to care for the most part. If you take your child, to Disney properties, and they are too young to walk, be carried, or shoulder bags, it is your responsibility to wait and be patient, that your over sized device needs special attention. Last year a parent ran into my wife at Magic Kingdom in WDW, knocked her to the ground, and did not even say sorry. I took my daughter to WDW when she was 3 years old and carried her or she walked, the whole day. We took breaks when necessary. The parks are overrun by these over sized strollers and are dangerous in a tight crowd, which Disney is known for with crowds. Just like the electric scooters.
Many do wait their turn and it’s about space needed for some strollers and especially for the red tagged strollers that are deemed as “wheelchairs” by the park.

If anyone were to get priority for that front seat with more leg room it should be disabled people with mobility devices. Just because you have a stroller does not give you any special privileges.
OMG all these people that feel they are privilege, ONLY handicap takes priority, and that’s only if you are in a wheelchair, have a cane, or something that shows you are —SO A Hard NO, because you have a stroller, you do not get priority seating, I’ve been to the parks with my family + strollers + pamper bags + food, etc. never have tried to take over the handicap areas or tried to assume that I could go on first on any transportation. You take your turn, carry your crap, and stay quiet.

That space needs to be reserved for people with disabilities (like myself) who uses a walker, wheelchair or cane.
