Getting Double Strollers on Buses (Mini GT vs. BOB Duallie)

[PracticallyPerfectPoppins]

Hi everyone!
This may have been asked a million times already, but how difficult is it exactly to get strollers on the buses? This will be our first trip, and we have a 2yo and a 4yo who are both very tall. We are renting a double stroller for the trip and I'm current debating between the City Mini GT and the BOB Revolution Duallie. I'd like a smooth, comfortable ride for them but don't want to be shooting ourselves in the foot if getting the bigger stroller will be a logistical nightmare. TIA!

whatever works best for your family.. as long as you have them out of the stroller before entering the bus, and don't block the aisle with your stroller (so standing room only people can get on and move to the back or the bus, thereby fittin gas many people as possible on the bus)
i dyou don't want to take them out of the stroller for the ride back to the resort, yo should lok at staying at a monorail resort.

or if you have a car. the only resort you don't want to drive to is MK.

We've never used a BOB stroller so I'm not familiar with them, but we did use a City Mini GT double on our last trip. My kids were 3 and 5, with the 5 yr old being average sized and the 3 yr old pretty well the same size as the 5 yr old (about 40-41 in tall). They seemed to be comfortable in the City. We weren't trying to nap in it though - the younger would have, but we were trying to keep her awake until we made it out of the park.

My husband did the stroller manhandling while I took the kids when loading the bus, but he didn't have much trouble. I carried it one time, and to me wasn't any worse than walking through an airplane with a carry on suitcase. The biggest thing is having it folded up and ready to go prior to loading and moving it out of the aisle as much as possible if people are squeezing in. I thought the bus aisles were suitably wide (we could stand or sit with the stroller and people could still walk by to get off at a different stop, for example).

Definitely the City MiniGT. We have a BOB at home and there is no way I would want that on the buses, or even in the parks. The front wheel really sticks out and it doesn't fold well. I agree that driving to the non-MK parks is much nicer too.

Thank you all for your responses! We will be driving down in our Honda Pilot (so plenty of room for a big stroller if needed). I'm definitely going to take the advice you all gave and drive to everything but MK! City Mini GT it is
