Bringing a stroller to Atlantis

[disneypolybride2008]

Hi. Have you brought a stroller to Atlantis? I have been on this excursion twice before the kids. Now i'll have a 4 and 1 year old. I don't recall if there was space in the back of their cramped vans for one. The other choice is to go to Blue Lagoon Island. I wanted the kids to see the huge fish at Atlantis. Please share your stroller experiences with these excursions.

Thanks!

There is space on the shuttle for the stroller. However there are stairs everywhere. The elevators are extremely small. It took a really long time to use the elevator on the tour as there were other people with mobility issues and only 2-3 people max could fit in the elevator with a stroller? We ended up carrying the stroller up and down all the stairs. Never again. I recommend making the 4 year old walk and wear the baby in a carrier or bring two umbrella strollers that you can fold up and carry the kids when necessary. It is possible to bring a stroller but it is a huge pain.

it's funny as two adults who went twice, i dont remember stairs! guess you remember things differently when you have kids. i just bought the stroller that is city mini lite that is 16lbs with one button fold so we'll see how easy it is.

I know what you mean. We are active people so stairs don't bother us. We only take stairs on the ship. But after the tenth time of taking the baby out and carrying the stroller it got really annoying lol. It could also be one of those things that if you know the situation going into it and know what to expect, it may not be as bad. We just thought a huge resort like Atlantis would be stroller friendly. We also did the excursion two years ago so things may have changed.

glad i thought of it. i think we may go for blue lagoon island. have you been there?

it was a few years since we went, or even 5. The beach was closed due to high waves and the next time it was open but too big of waves for me. Now when i look at pictures of the resort it looks like there is a lagoon style beach on the east side where the beach i was referring to was. That looks nice now! Now i'm looking at an interactive map on their website and it looks just like i remember it, and there is no lagoon style beach on the east side it opens up like i remember to the ocean. hmmm

You probable don't want to take the stroller. Not a lot of ramps.

I've gone 3 times with my just turned 3 year old and have taken a stroller every time. Carry the stroller down the steps with another adult without removing the child. It's simple and easy. The stroller helps carry the stuff you'll need with the 2 children too.

we brought a light weight stroller, yes there are stairs but it wasnt a big deal, especially with a light stroller. Im not sure how we would have seen everything without the stroller...they kids took turns sitting and were exhausted.
