Renting a Stroller

[Kim M]

Our girls are 6, 4 and 2 and we are planning to rent a stroller while at Magic Kingdom. Any tips on rental or using it at the park?

Best and most common advice is to rent from one of the off site rental companies.

I agree with Dan. One of the big reasons for doing this is that you will then have the stroller 24/7 so your daughter(s) won't have to wait until inside the park to be in the stroller and won't have to leave the stroller inside the park at the end of the day. Offsite places will deliver to your resort (even offsite resorts) and pick up after you are done with it.

However, if you do rent from Disney and park hop, keep your receipt as you only pay once for a stroller for that day.

We used kingdom strollers & I loved it! Best $100 ever spent! We got a double, and the girls loved it!

Same here. Kingdom Strollers do a really nice job. The owner usually answers when you give them a call.

Thank you for all the replies! I never would have considered getting one outside of the park. We will definitely do this!!

You might want to think about a little sign to put on your stroller to easily identify it in a "stroller sea" outside the attractions. Cast members will sometimes move your stroller while you are in the attraction to organize the space. It should only be a short distance, but it can be enough to confuse you if your stroller looks the same as 20 others. I used a plastic report cover and shoe lace to easily tie onto the handles. I used the link below for templates.

As someone else suggested, look at offsite rentals. We will be visiting in two years with our kids and have already looked into pricing. I think if you are there for more than 4 or 5 days you are pretty much paying the same price as a new stroller to rent one! I'd just as soon buy a cheap used one from someone than rent at that price. I think the offsite ones are about half price.
