Question about stroller NOT what to buy!

[HelenePA]

Okay... So I was thinking last night (becasue I can't shut my brain up sometimes) How or when? would I get my stroller back from being checked in at the airport? I'm planning on using the ME. That means I dont go get my luggage and we are going to be there WAYYY ahead of check in time... how would I get my stroller before going to the parks before going up to the room?? does that make sense? Would I just not put a tag on my stroller and go get it before getting on the ME? can I do that? I'm all worried about this. There is no way I can take 3 kids to any of the parks with out at least 1 stroller (I really dont want to pay to rent one I'm cheap!)

You check your stroller at the gate, right before you get on the plane. When you get off the plane, you just wait a couple of minutes for your stroller, or sometimes it's already right there as you exit the plane. They bring the stroller's right up and leave them by the door of the airplane.

OK, this one's easy! Don't check your stroller! Take it to the gate with you, and have them "gate check" it. You'll leave it on the ramp to the plane, and the flight crew will move it down to the baggage area. When you get to your destination, it will be waiting for you as soon as you get off the plane. This way you have the stroller for getting to and from the gate, too.

I have to agree, not only do you get the stroller right away, but you also have the stroller to deal with the airport walking/waiting/carrying stuff in both airports. And, these days, the gates are so far away!

However, if you don't want to do that, from what I understand, you CAN get your stroller from baggage claim if you check it. You simply don't put the ME tog on it and you go to the ME bus once you get your stroller.
