Strollers, ECV, Double Stroller price increases!

[tearawayface]

A little mouse told me he is about to raise the price of Strollers, Double Strollers and ECV's, so a good tip might be buy an umbrella stroller from Wal-Mart for $10...

New Prices
Stroller increases from $10 - $15
Double Stroller increases from $18 - $31
ECV goes from $35 to $45 but now the mouse wants a $20 deposit rather than just $5

oh and by the way regular wheelchair prices remain $10 so I expect to start seeing a lot of children riding around in wheelchairs instead of strollers

HUH?!?! Seriously?


I checked the date to make sure it wasn't April Fool's. :rotfl: That is one serious price increase if it's correct!

Thank goodness we rent DH's ECV from a vendor in the Orlando area. Much cheaper than Disney. We also used to buy a cheap umbrella stroller at Target or Walmart after we arrived and then left it with a CM at the resort desk to give to another family.

When is this rumored to start?

It starts on Sunday

Ouch! $31 for a double stroller. That is beyond nuts. It makes more sense to buy one before leaving and sell it at a consignment shop or something when returning. I'm sure the store bought ones would be more comfortable too. Plus that way you could use it at the airport or around the hotel too if needed.

I just called Guest Services, and they said no, the prices have remained the same - 8 for single, 16 for double -- just like it says here:

unless the CM I spoke to was wrong, where did the price increase rumour come from?

[powellrj]

from the front page of the DIS boards. Here is a link

I stand corrected!! dang, i had hope for a little while!

Walt Disney World site says otherwise. Here is the link. I would think they would have changed the web site if there was a price increase. Funny, they just increased it since last year.
