Stroller debate?

[FLAgirl73]

I'm hoping that topic will suck some of you in who might otherwise run screaming from yet another stroller thread.

We're taking our 5.5 and 2.5 year old boys to MK next week. I have a nice, padded "mall" stroller with basket underneath, cup holders, sunshade, etc. (only holds one kid). I also have umbrella strollers that have NO sunshade but are much lighter and compact. Soooo....do I take....
- mall stroller and umbrella?
- 2 umbrella strollers?

We're driving our own car, so won't be on the resort buses if that makes a difference.

honestly I'd just take the one larger stroller. Both of your kids are going to walk a lot of the time I think and they can just take turns sitting in the larger more comfortable stroller.

My dd just turned 2 and we're taking our Chicco umbrella that had a really nice sunshade and reclines. I pretty sure she'll be walking a good amount of the time though.

Go for your bigger one and have them take turns.

We used to "budget-in" the use of a WDW rental stroller...the Double strollers are great...and they manuver so well...the kids liked them too. Luckily we are out of that age now. 14 & 9.

Last time I checked they were pretty expensive to rent...but at the time we thought it was worth it.

The "mall stroller" since you aren't using busses! You'll need to extra room, cup holders, and especially the shade! Is it a type of stroller that you can get a Buggy Board for? That will help your older one, even the 2.5 y/o might like (and be able to safely take) turns on it. I know my almost 3 y/o would be fine on it. I was going to buy one for my Bertini... bu got a tubal ligation instead

Even if you don't take the buses, you will probably need to take the tram from the parking lot. And they are tougher than the buses on stroller people.
