dis strollers

Do you guys recommend the strollers at disney or should I bring my own. I have a 2 and a 4 year old.

I prefer the WDW strollers. They are not cheap, but they roll very smoothly. They are also replaced without cost if someone happens to "borrow" it.

The double stroller is surprisingly roomy. My very tall and long-legged DD (then 7 y-o) and DS (then 18 mos) rode in a double last year.

They can be near impossible to distinguish from each other, so a balloon or something unique tied to the handle helps in finding yours after exiting a ride or show.

You'll hear lots of opinions on strollers. Stroller swaps seem to be a great way to save money, but I haven't had the chance to get in on one yet.

Good luck and have a great time!

don't fortget that they are made of hard plastic and can be very uncomfortable make sure that you bring a light blanket for them to sit on. I also was looking into the stroller swap on the budget boards and for 10-20 sounds good, check that out also, I personally like having my own as carrying a child to the busses or boat after a long day is not my cup of tea that is for sure or threw a busy parking lot. good luck in what ever you do

I like the strollers at Disney because even when the kids aren't in them you can store all your accumulated stuff in them BUT they are expensive to rent daily. Won't you be needing a carriage for the two little ones @ the airport anyway?

We are in a stroller swap for $10 for our almost 3 year old. We are doing a double even with 1 because it's still cheaper than renting a Disney one. I have decided not to take my stroller because it's had 3 years of a lot of wear and tear and we don't want to have to get a new one until we have another baby.

To deal with the airport, we are bringing our very cheap umbrella stroller that would not suffice in the parks. With the swap, we'll have a stroller wherever we go. There's a link in my signature to the swap I am in. A lot of people have cancelled so your dates may be there.

I am not even taking the chance of using Disney's strollers...for the price it would cost me for 10 days, I could buy a brand new NICE stroller. That's why I got in on a swap.

The swaps are great and so affordable!!! The disney strollers are a smooth ride but huge and hard plastic, not to mentioned laced with gold apparently!!! (the price is outrageous!!)

Anyone know how much they cost to rent? We were thinking of just renting one I'm surprised to hear they're expensive?

Singles are $15/day and doubles are (I think) $31/day.

I DON'T LIKE THE NEW WDW STROLLERS,, THEY ARE WAY SMALLER. WE JUST GOT BACK ON sUNDAY AND THE DOUBLE STROLLERS WERE TO SMALL FOR MY 2. THE OLD ONES THEY WOULD HAVE FIT COMEFORTABLY... THE SINGLE STROLLERS ARE REAL NARROW. I SUGGEST TAKING YOUR OWN..

DON'T FORGET,, YOU USUALLY STILL HAVE A LONG WALK TO PARKING OR TRAM NOT TO MENTION A LOT OF STANDING AND WAITING FOR FERRY/ TRAM AT THE END OF THE NIGHT AND YOUR CHILD WILL PROB BE ASLEEP.. IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN IT WILL BE A LOT EASIER ON YOU.

I loved the orlandostrollerrentals.com stroller we got. They had it waiting at the bell service when we got to the hotel, we left it with the bell service when we checked out and they pick it up. Its quick to fold, just back a strap in the middle of the seat and folds really thing so you can put it in front on you on the tram and its seriously light. at least the city mini is. The only complaint I had was no cup holders but the ease of use made up for it.
