Stroller Question

[Christy LOVES Disney]

Okay I have never traveled with kids but my fiance has 2...we're getting a double stroller. Here comes the question, The name tags I see on all of the strollers at Disney, Where do they come from? Does Disney make them or do you have to bring them with you. Sorry I'm so confused about this.. never really had this problem.

You may want to bring a stroller, they are charging 31.00 per day for a double stroller, it would be cheaper to by a double umberella stroller if you are going for more then 1 day.

that wont work the kids are over 50lbs a piece... a 4 yr old and 6 yr old.... the 4 yr old is stocky and I'm afraid they will not hold up.

The name tags are provided with the rental. If you are going to to rent one every day, you should consider the length-of-stay rental option which provides a small discount.

thank you so much. yea that was our plan....i do that when i try to get stroller the first day right?

You might also take a look at Magic Strollers - run by the same folks that own Owners Locker.

Enjoy!

There is a discount on stroller rentals if you use A Disney Visa Card.

We've rented from Orlando Stroller Rental twice now. They had nice options that included strollers for older children (our DD is 6) and delivered and picked up at the resort. For our 10 day stay, it saved us around $100 over renting the park stollers and we got to use it around the resorts and water parks. (And I think it was a little more comfortable for sleeping for her.) The folks there were great to work with too.

It may be a good idea to forget the stroller and just let them walk!

no need to judge.... my neighbor has a 3 year old who is over 40 pounds..he is really tall.

we rented from Magic strollers and for the week it was 75$ for a double. my kids were 3 and 6 in January and it was really helpful to have...my 6 year old would just hop in and out as needed...i also loved all of the storage space.

he is tall and all muscle... for real i didnt know they made kids like that hes super strong and absolutely not fat.... but just turned 4 in march and still had the stuff of whining and talking about how his feet feel broke. lol i just really dont want to hear a bunch of whining. I don't mind paying the fees it will be worth my sanity i just wondered about the name tags.

Don't rush to judgement, she asked about the stroller name tags, not your opinion on whether or not the kids need a stroller.

We also use a harness on our DD, like having her on a leash. She is 2 years old. She enjoys walking around & pushing the stroller occasionally!

I get it, was not trying to offend and certainly was not casting judgement on anyone. I have 3 kids myself and just remember the feeling of relief when we no longer had to pack and or rent $$$ the stroller and it was around the age of 4 with my youngest.(4, 6, and 8) I was pleasantly surprised what a trooper she was. (they all were) Yes they do get tired and that's when we would exit the parks mid day and go back to relax/swim. I agree for your sanity it is worth it. Sounds like some of the off site companies are a great deal. Good luck and have a great vacation!!!

You didn't offend me, he is just a big kid.. lol no other way around it. I wish it was because he ate but that is sometimes a problem...only wants to eat meat. But, I thought about not renting a stroller at all but this is their first vacation ever really and we were at the mall last weekend and they were already talking about how their feet hurt, I looked at my fiance and just thought wow.....thank goodness I planned on getting a stroller. Not only that but the little boy is soooo spoiled by his mom and she will carry him (and she wonders why she has back problems) and I WILL not carry him when he is too tired to walk lol. Nothing like carrying around another 50lbs.

I know that was true at DL, but what's the deal at WDW?

Walking is great, but....

You can cover so much more ground w/ the stroller. Also allows you to free flow from attraction to attraction on opposite ends of the park. No grand plan needed. My DT's (6) walked a lot last year but we had the stroller every day, I wouldn't do it any other way.

I checked the website, it says stroller discount under DL, not WDW. Would be nice, though!
