We own a citi mini GT double stroller and love it, it works well for our two kids ages 2 and 5. However, my DH HATES dealing with it in the airport (taking it through security, folding it at the gate, carrying everything else, etc) As a result we only took ours to WDW once, but we have rented the same stroller 3x at Disney. I see his point about lugging the stroller, it is a pain, but it seems crazy to me that we pay ~$140 each trip to rent a stroller we already own. So for out next trip I suggested that we take the stroller but actually check it, instead of gate checking it. That way DME will pick it up and deliver it right to our room, and the reverse will happen when we use RAC at check out. This way, if we do curbside check in at the airport we only have to lug the stroller to the car and curbside at the airport, and avoid having it in the airport at all. My only concern is the risk of damage to it. we don't have the special carrying case, I would just be putting a luggage strap around it (or maybe 2) and letting them check it. Thoughts? Has anyone done this? I don't want the stroller ruined, but there is no way my DH will gate check it. I guess I could look into renting again, it won't break us, but it's just annoying.
