Need advise to save some dollars at WDW

[mrecendi]

Hi,
We are visiting for first time WDW from Jan 30 - Feb 6 and will stay at the POFQ. It will be me , DH , DD7 and DD4. I have read a lot of forums in order to get prepared, but still have three questions:

1. Is there a cheaper option to rent stroller other than WDW, they charge $27/day (if multiple days) for a double stroller. I am considering now to rent one single at $13/day for my youngest but would like to ask if you have some advise. I tried the stroller swap but was already full.

2. We would like to go to the outlets and I wonder if you can recommend where to go and how to get there. We are from Mexico and will fly to Orlando so maybe we will need to rent a car but that would be my last option. Are there taxis, shuttles,...? if you know estimate costs that will be great.

3. I want to make some pucharses at amazon.com to be delivered at the hotel in order to bring them home with me. Is that possible? I do not know the policies of WDW hotels on this.

Thank you!!!!! I am so excited we are only 19 days away!!!

Monica

That stroller fee is a killer! You might want to look into Magic Strollers -- http://www.magicstrollers.com/ . The company is run by the same people who own Owner's Locker, which we use and love! Their cost for a double jogger is $27 for the first day and $9 each additional day. And they deliver and pick up!

Don't you have a stroller you could bring from home/borrow one from a friend/family member? You could gate check it and when you land at MCO it will be waiting for you when you step off the plane.

Sorry I have no advice for #2 & #3 ~ have fun!

Have fun.....

1) Consider taking a stroller with you if its possible
2) Tax or shuttle service can get you to the outlets, see someone at Bell Services they can help. Cost....not to sure all the carriers are different.
3) Can't help you there, sorry.

Look at the links I have below my signature, not sure if these may or may not help.

The cheapest stroller option is to just bring one with you.

I don't have any outlet information.

You should probably call Amazon and the resort to check on shipping a package.

If your child is older bring a cheap umbrella stroller and leave it behind for another family if you wish... We just gate checked it with the airlines.

I have shipped to the resorts and NOT had to pay a fee but I know it might be different depending on who you talk to.

We took a taxi everywhere that was off property....
