rent a double stroller or bring one?

[ebarj1098]

I am taking my DSs, 2 and 4 and wonder what would be best, rent or buy a double stroller? We're driving and don't really have alot of room to bring one from here, so I'd buy one there. Or would it be better to rent? We'll be staying at a Disney resort. I took my older DS when he was 18mo and brought our own, it was a major pain on the trams from the parking lot.

Sorry if this subject (or a similar one) has been beat to death already!

If you could rent one there (from one of those baby supply companies, maybe) and wouldn't really use on after the trip, then I guess renting is the way to go.
We brought our own, but we have a full-size van.
Also, if you are staying on-site, we used DW transportation, no problem, easier than wrestling with the stroller to get on Parking Lot trams. Especially if your 4 yo can get on and off the buses with just a hand hold.
Have a great time!

Depending on how long you are staying at WDW, it may be cheaper to buy a stroller than renting one every day. We have a cheap (~$50) double stroller that is great for WDW. If it gets broken or lost, its no big deal.

We rented the double stroller. We didn't bring one our kids are 8 & 5. They made it the first day like troopers but after starting in Epcot we caved.

If you do not want to bring one. You can get a multi day discount on the stroller rental. They give you a 10% discount or something like that. (DH did the stroller). They are VERY easy to manuver with big enough wheels for it not to be very straining. They have no storage, but you can attach a backpack to them if you need to.

I know that many prefer bringing them but I don't have one anymore so this worked out great for us.
