not wanting to arrange pick up for stroller

[mjkacmom]

When we used strollers at WDW, our kids were old enough to walk, but not "Disney Walk". They could get through the airport and such. Renting a stroller was a much better situation for us. That also allowed us to rent a double-stroller, which we did not have at home. We have taken strollers with us on airplanes, and it worked out OK, but admit it: it's yet another thing to deal on a travel day that would be nice to avoid.

I've never heard of anyone having 5 or 6 strollers.

Our little kids were 4, 4 and 6, we had no need of a stroller in the airport, and with 5 kids plus luggage, didn’t want to have to push it. I had a lot of strollers in total (bassinet pram, tandem double, side by side double, tandem triple, single snap and go, double snap and go, double jogger, a couple of umbrella strollers…). We rented a double from the parks so we didn’t need to deal with it on transportation. Our kids were troopers, never had to carry them back.

Hi! I just wanted to add an option for you. I saw the family with the 2 year old is driving in and you fly in. I’m not sure how you plan on getting to your resort, but if money isn’t a factor Away We Go Transportation lets you rent a quality stroller from them and it’s in the car waiting for you when you are picked up. Obviously the bus and Ubers/Lyft are way cheaper than private transportation but in the chance that you take a private service anyways figured I’d mention it We didn’t want to figure out a delivery window for a stroller either and with two kids in car seats we opted for private transportation over uber anyways and their stroller rentals are cheaper than Scooterbug.
Good luck!

I was scrolling down to the bottom to make the same recommendation but for Cast and Crew! They will also pick you up from the airport with a City Mini GT (the best Disney stroller IMHO) already loaded in the trunk. Also a great company and so convenient!

So I've been watching FB marketplace for months, and just recently someone posted a citymini for $60 with the parent and child snack/drink trays. It's in like-new condition, so now they have one for all the time and will drive it down fixing this whole issue. Bought a $10 rain cover and we're in business.
Plus it made my daughter super happy to see the nostalgic stroller like we used to get right in her driveway.

Sounds like a great conclusion. My first stroller was a City Mini..... great for Disney. Less great for actual city use.
Also, out of the 4 strollers I've gone through, the City Mini and my newest one that collapses in a similar way are the ones that haven't gotten bent out of shape while traveling.

I'm over here scratching my head over the "anti-stroller in the airport" comments, because I'm going to be a little sad once we stop taking a stroller when we travel. My youngest is 5, and half the time the stroller just ends up as a luggage trolley for the airport. Sometimes, I'll even have him push it, because he can't move as fast with it loaded down. I also still take a car seat for him to use on the plane, and strap it to the stroller in the airport.
Even with the inevitable stroller damage, I prefer having a stroller along. We're probably about 6 months out from him being ready for restraint-free travel.
