Pic of new disney stroller

Hello, I tried to look thru all of the stroller threads I swear but man there was alot. Does anyone have a pic of the new disney strollers? Trying to decide how to handle the bringing one/renting one.

Sorry, I don't have any pics, but I can tell you we just returned from Disney and the Disney strollers don't look very comfortable. We rented a double stroller from orlandostrollerrental.com and it was wonderful. That was the best spent money. I kept saying, "I'm so glad we rented this!!" It arrived at our condo on the day of our arrival and was picked up on the morning of our departure. It would have cost me about $180 for the week to rent from Disney and I rented this one for $85 for the week.

I have a 7 year old, 4 year old and 8 month old. The two oldest rode in the double and loved it!! You may think I'm crazy for renting a stroller for my 7 year old, but it worked out really great. When we needed to move really fast or move through crowds it was so nice for them to be riding. I didn't have to worry as much about losing them. I had my personal smaller stroller for the baby and had a weather cover for it.

The double stroller was so much larger than the double stroller from Disney. It had two individual seats and they reclined all the way back, it also had a great sun shield. I can't express enough how wonderful it was.
It's downfall was the storage underneath, it was extremely hard to get to and did not hold very much. I solved that my extending the straps on my diaper bag and putting it across the handles. It worked just fine.

Folding was a snap as well, you just pull the strap in the middle and it folded up just fine. We loved having the stroller outside the parks.

We rented a single in December for our 4 yr old. It was fine for him. We used our own umbrella stroller for our 2 yr old.

thank you for that info. It looks sufficient for my threeand a half year old. We can just bring a blanket for cushion and maybe small pillow in case he falls asleep in it.

The ones from Orlando Stroller Rental will cost you less money and are comfortable and recline.... We used the DIsney ones on our 2006 trip and the kids were miserable. We used the Orlando Stroller ones on the last trip and everybody was happy.

so to get the orlando ones you log onto the website and have your room and hotel info for them and they drop it off? then you have to carry to and from the park right? sorry, first time as you can tell.

Yes you order on their web site. They will have it there waiting for you with Bell Services when you check in. You have it all the time so you do have to carry on and off the busses etc but the things fold really quickly - you can do it with one hand for the single. At the end of your trip you just leave it with Bell Services.

The strollers are fantastic! We rented one double and one single for our trip two weeks ago.

http://www.orlandostrollerrentals.com/ We rented the City Mini Double and City Mini Single. They have a demo on their site so you can see how they fold etc.

I think we are going with the orlando stroller rental if they deliver for free to our hotel which is in clermont, 6 miles from disney for free. Thanks

The stroller that Orlando Stroller Rental uses is a great high end stroller!! MUCH nicer and more comfy than the Disney stroller! I cannot believe how expensive it is to rent a stroller from Disney now!
