Hi,
I'm new here, been lurking and doing a bit of research. This will be our first time taking the kids to Disney and they'll be 2.5 and almost 5 when we go. Our vacation will be a little unique in that we'll be flying in to Orlando, visiting family in Palm Beach and then going back to Orlando for a Disney vacation before flying home.
We have a Phil and Teds stroller but have never taken it on an airplane before. I'm trying to figure out if we should:
1. Take the Phil and Teds on the plane
2. Get second cheap umbrella stroller and bring two (not really my favorite choice because then we could never have one person take both of the kids if needed)
3. Buy a cheap (under $60) jogger off of craigslist to bring with us so we don't have to worry about it getting beaten up on the plane. Our P&T is 4 years old, it's not the most current model, so I wouldn't be worried about it in the park, but I'm concerned about taking it on the plane and it getting mangled.
4. Rent a stroller (not through Disney) for WDW and either not bring a stroller at all or just bring the single umbrella stroller for Palm Beach
Also, my husband and I are spoiled by the slimness of the P&T and are not too into pushing a side by side- which is what we'd be getting on craigslist. Is it that bad to push one around Disney? We're going to need a double or two strollers at Disney, so there's no negotiating that point.
Thanks so much!
