In an unfortunate incident at Disney World, a mother’s magical day took a turn for the worse when her expensive stroller was allegedly stolen. Emily Johnson, visiting from Orlando, Florida, had parked her $1,800 Bugaboo stroller in a designated area while enjoying the attractions at Hollywood Studios. Upon returning, she discovered her stroller was missing.
“It was the day we were supposed to have the most fun, and it was taken away from me,” Johnson recounted to local news. The situation escalated when she realized her wallet, car keys, and her child’s emergency medication were all left in the stroller. “I felt stranded and helpless,” she stated. Her husband had to catch a last-minute flight from Orlando just to assist her and their child.
Disney security reviewed surveillance footage and identified a woman pushing her own child in a stroller, taking Johnson’s stroller. In an effort to locate the thief, Johnson posted a screenshot from the video online, asking the community for assistance.
Meanwhile, in a twist of fate, Michelle Smith from Texas purchased the same Bugaboo stroller for $500 from an online Facebook group, only to later realize it might be the stolen one. “When I saw Emily’s post, I started to connect the dots. The clips and everything matched,” Smith explained.
Authorities issued an arrest warrant for the woman seen in the footage, believed to be Michelle Brown, who attempted to sell the stolen stroller online. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is also investigating Brown for other luxury stroller thefts at Disney.
As any parent knows, stroller parking areas at Disney can be vast, and with the convenience of the Magic Band, it’s easy to forget personal belongings. Johnson expressed frustration, not so much about the loss of the stroller, but that a fellow mother would betray another. “She ruined our entire day,” Johnson lamented.
In light of this incident, it’s crucial to stay vigilant, especially in crowded places.

In summary, a day at Disney turned sour for one mother when her stroller was stolen, leading to an investigation and an arrest warrant for the alleged thief. The unfortunate event serves as a reminder to remain cautious while enjoying family outings.
