Having a stroller does not bother me. Finding parking areas is easy and I'm not in such a hurry that I can't take the few minutes to park and retrieve the stroller. Our last trip, the kids were 6 & 9. At home we don't use a stroller any more, not for day trips to the zoo or local amusement parks either. We were at WDW 9 days and my 6 yo used it a lot. My 9 yo even sat in it a couple times, mostly while we weren't moving as a place to sit. We have a Chicco Echo. It folds nicely, has a basket, high handles, sunshade, and reclines. It fits older kids well, but both of mine are on the small side. When they were 8 & 5, we did two days at USO with the same stroller and my then 8 yo didn't sit in it once, but we found on the longer trip, there was more opportunity and it was much more tiring day after day. The stroller is great for carrying stuff too. One day, the 6 yo was sick, he ended up never leaving the room that day along with my DH, so we didn't take the stroller with us to HS. I didn't find myself thinking how great it was to be stroller free. We decided to take it and thought maybe they wouldn't use it and if that had been the case, we would have left it in the room.
