Maybe it was better to wait? Stroller question

[dismom22]

We arrive Thursday (3 sleeps!!) at Pop for 4 full park days plus half days on arrival and departure. I had intended on renting a small stroller from Kingdom Strollers. I know they are still on the Preferred list of vendors so it would have been fine to order ahead of time. That being said, are they the best vendor to rent strollers from? DD3 is only about 32 lbs and 37 inches tall.

What's the best stroller for the least amount?! And where's the best place to get it from?

I should add...I meant to "order" a few weeks ago but kept forgetting :-/

I've rented from Orlando Stroller Rentals twice. A lovely lady who owns the business answers the phone and all your questions.

I would rent a city mini gt. The city mini gt has more room than the city mini. Orlando stroller rentals and kingdom strollers can both deliver to hotels. Baby wheels Orlando is another good one.

I've heard a lot of people talk about Apple strollers too.

We rented from apple they aren't on the stroller list but they are a preferred vendor through the ECV list. So they still deliver to the resorts. They only have city mini which worked great for us.

We rented from Apple. The ordering process was great and so is the price ($5/day)... hoping it all goes well when we get there!

I just bit the bullet and reserved one from Apple. It's saving us about $30 so I hope it's worth it!!

Will do. For a Thursday - Tuesday stay the Baby Jogger City Mini Single Stroller was about $38 - it was the only option they had besides the double. I responded to the confirmation email inquiring about a parent console and rain cover. Received a prompt response and was told they are $5/ea for the duration. I then emailed to ask about what they look like...that was this afternoon and so far, no response. I'll let you know how the rest works out!

I would say everything worked out well, using Apple. I never did get a response about the rain cover or console but I think we were fine. We just used a poncho to cover it when we went into the Nemo musical at AK...which was the only time we really encountered rain on our trip. Folding up was simple as was opening. A couple times it seems it didn't click closed but we eventually got it. Also, the front wheel locked up occasionally but we just had to click it to unlock. I think that was from DD getting in and out.

There was a bar that ran across down by the under storage which made it kind of difficult to access it from the back but there was plenty of room on the sides to get in and out. Overall, things went well using them. Hope this helps!

I also booked apple strollers for the first time. I called and they did add the rain cover and the parent console for 5.00 each- should I worry about that they are not on the preferred list? I usually rent from one of the preferred vendors??? someone please ease my mind....

I asked on the phone and they said they can leave it with bell services.
