Rent dbl stroller from Kingdom or in the park?

[MickeyMouse2010]

My boys are 4,6,8. I'll probably rent a double. We are staying at AoA in the family suites. My boys are good walkers and my 4yo doesn't use one at all at home but we were carrying him some this summer after a long amusement park day. Anyone know how much disney charges per day for a double? I just don't know if I want to mess with it on the bus or not? Thanks!

Although more expensive, we rented from the parks with kids those ages. We did not want to deal with it on the buses or at the resort, plus the park strollers are easier to hop in and out of - less stroller-like.

The strollers in the park do not recline at all. If the 4 year old will sleep in the stroller at all, I would go for the one rented outside the park. Plus you can bring it on the bus, which means wheeling him right to the bus after fireworks when there are crazy crowds instead of trying to keep track of him.

We rented a double from kingdom for my 5 and 3 year old and I am glad we did. They were exhausted and kept falling asleep on the bus ride home. My DH would get off the bus to open the stroller and then come back off to help me carry the two kids off and to the stroller. If we send a park stroller, we would have been carrying them to the room so I was glad to have it at the hotel. We had no issues fitting on the bus with the stroller.

The park strollers cost more as well. A double is about $30 per day and we paid $100 for 7 days and that includes the insurance, a case of water, a rain cover, and cooler.

I personally wouldn't rent from the parks. They're hard, don't recline and they look small and uncomfortable. We've rented every year we've gone with the kids from magic strollers once and kingdom strollers ever since. I love their singles and doubles. They're super easy to fold to take on/off the bus and this way you'll have them after a long day in the parks, while walking back to your room at the resort. Plus if you're park hopping, you don't have to worry about getting a 2nd stroller of the day at another park (they are 1st come 1st serve).

I would rent from Kingdom. The strollers in the parks are hard, don't recline, and are not easy to maneuver. We take our own Citi Mini double, which is one of the main ones they rent from Kingdom and other stroller rental companies, and they are so much better for use in the parks. The only downside might be that depending on the size of your 8 year old they might be too big for the Citi Mini. Mine can't fit any longer, but there is also a GT that holds a little more weight.

We rented from Kingdom during our last trip. Totally worth the ~ $100 for the week. It was there when we arrived, and they picked it up after we left. Probably the least stressful part of our Hurricane Matthew trip!

We just rented from kingdom strollers and it was great. Also took it to Disney springs on the bus. Note that you can't take a park stroller on the railroad. We used that to get around a couple times.
