Disney removed the construction walls outside Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom overnight, revealing a new stroller parking area beside the restaurant’s main entrance. The fenced space sits along the walkway that leads to Adventureland and the Cinderella Castle hub area. We visited Thursday morning and found strollers already filling it. Here’s the latest.
New Stroller Parking Area at Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom

- The construction walls outside Crystal Palace are gone, and the new area now works as stroller parking

The construction walls and hedge planters that hid the construction site since July are gone, and the cleared land now serves as stroller parking. When land clearing began, we guessed Disney was building a dedicated stroller area. The finished space matches that guess.
A fenced corral with copper-colored railings sits to the right of the Crystal Palace entrance, tucked between the building and the landscaping. Fresh mulch and new shrubs surround the outside of the fence, which helps the area blend in with its surroundings. Rows of strollers already filled the space when we visited earlier this morning.
The location makes sense. Crystal Palace sits beside the walkway that connects the Adventureland entrance with the Cinderella Castle hub area. Strollers parked along that path take up room guests need to walk. The new corral gives them a spot off the pavement. At least, for some strollers.
Overflow Parking Along the Walkway
Helpful as it is, the new corral still does not appear to be enough. Across the walkway, strollers and mobility scooters line the railing on the opposite side for a long stretch.
That overflow suggests the demand for stroller space here continues to exceed what the new area holds. Even so, every stroller inside the fence is one fewer along the walkway, which is certainly welcome.
