Stroller Rental for both Resort & Cruise Stay

[darkpixie08]

We're heading to Disney in September. Has anyone done a stroller rental for both in the parks and on a Disney Cruise ship? How does it work? Did you have to do two separate stroller rentals, would it be easier to just bring one? Thanks!

I'm not sure how it would work to rent a stroller for both the cruise and WDW, since the stroller companies typically drop off and pick up from resorts. You could always call one of the companies and see if you could make arrangements to return your stroller somewhere when you get back from your cruise. They might be willing to work with you, though I would expect you'd have to return the stroller somewhere in Orlando, as I wouldn't think they'd be willing to pick up from the cruise port.

The other thing you could do is bring a small, umbrella stroller for the cruise part of your stay, and rent a stroller for while you are in the parks. Last year, we did 6 days at WDW and then 3 days in Clearwater with our 15 month old DD. We wanted a good stroller with a large canopy and full recline for touring WDW, but we didn't want to bring our good stroller on the airplane (too bulky to deal with and too much risk of damage to our pricey stroller in the cargo hold). We figured a cheapie umbrella stroller would do just fine for walking a few blocks at a time in a beach town, so we brought one with us just to use in the airports and in Clearwater, and we rented a Baby Jogger while we were in Orlando.
