Graco Duoglider at the parks???

[Drew*smom]

We are going to be in WDW in a week and will be traveling with our 3 month old and our 3 year old. We are planning on taking our DuoGlider stroller and wondered what the pros and cons would be with this type of stroller. We honestly never use it at home b/c we either put the baby in the snap and go and the 3 yr old walks or is in a Mac umbrella stroller. BTW, we are renting a house at Windsor Hills and a mini van so transportation shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks!

We use ours at the parks all the time. The biggest pain is lugging it off/on the buses, so you should be all set!

Ours is heavy to push/turn, but our kids are older and heavier. Maybe just practice tooling around w/it with the kids in it to see how it steers. Also, since it will probably be quite hot in WDW, make sure there is adequate shade for the baby, and even consider a fan.

Happy planning!

We took ours and I agree...the biggest problem we had was folding it up on the buses. The monorail we were able to keep it open.

Just make sure yours is 'different' either with a different sticker (not the mickey ones they hand out) or a bow so in the stroller area yours doesnt get mistakenly taken.

Have fun!

as long as you keep it off the buses you should be fine. I can see ppl getting grouchy if you brought that onto the bus esp now that the weather has turned hot, you know how tempers can flare in the heat. And I'm not trying to start a stroller war, just trying to keep your stay hassle free.

I would say you'll need a fan, if not 2 for them. I'm sure you can find a sturdy clip on one at Walmart or a camping supply place for a lot less than the ones they sell on-site.

I agree. The hardest thing for us was on/off the busses. Otherwise it worked great!

You have your own transportation so getting on the bus is a non issue. We brought our own full size stroller. It was so hassle free I wondered what the big deal was. You'll have to fold it for 30 seconds if you ride the parking lot tram, but thats about it.
