Advice on stroller rentals

[Becca0711]

We are going to Disney in a week & a half with our small children (small in size, I mean) who are 7, 6, almost 5 & 2. We want to rent a stroller from an offsite place that will deliver to AofA. My question is: City Mini Double or Bob? Obviously, we'll be shuttling back & forth on buses so we would like a stroller that's easy to collapse and isn't super heavy to lift and ideally, I'd like one with plenty of cargo space underneath for my camera bag & the backpack with snacks, etc.

Also, what company did you use? Would you rent from them again?

Thanks so much for your advice! This is our first trip to Disney with kids and I'm completely clueless about some of this stuff!

We are using Apple Strollers. For a 4 day rental its $31.95 for a single. They seem to charge $5 per day insurance for single, $7 per day for double plus $5 delivery, $5 pick up plus tax.
I'd google to compare prices. In the past we've used Magic Strollers. We're using Apple because we are also renting ECV so we want to stick with one company.

We used apple last may they only have the city mini and it was fine. Worked out great. We got 2 doubles.

I can't answer the rental company question but I can give some advice on the strollers bc I have both they are good for different reasons but I would recommend the double bob- mainly because its a bit bigger than the city and it will more comfortably fit your older children, especially as far as leg room IMO ....I also think is has a smoother ride! With that said it is bulkier than the citi (both are easy to fold) so if portability is your #1 concern go with the city mini - they are both great strollers so you really can't go wrong- have a great trip

Did you feel like it was a good company to work with? The strollers were clean?
It's crazy that it's $40 less for the same stroller from Apple than from the other company...

Thanks for giving me your opinion!

We just used them a few weeks ago. We loved them. The stroller was clean, delivered before I checked into the resort. Also, we had to order another stroller for my sister just 12 hours before we needed it (long story) and I called their number at 7pm. A man actually picked up and I was able to order over the phone and it was also there when we got to the resort.

My only negative at all was our stroller was easy to push but my sister's wasn't as easy to steer. It wasn't hard to steer, but not as easy.

EXACTLY the information I've been looking for! Our kiddos are short, so the leg room thing should be ok. I'm mostly concerned about it taking up too much room on the bus and inconveniencing other guests!
