stroller rentals

[vbecky]

Hi I was just wondering if anyone who has rented a stroller can you rent it and keep it for the 4 days you are there or do you have to return it everynight? Also do you rent it once you get into the park or can this be done before you enter the park so you aren't wasting you MM entry? Thanks

This is from the dl website:

Stroller Rental
Disney's California Adventure® Park and Disneyland® Park: Stroller rentals are available inside the Main Entrance for $10.00 per day.
Downtown Disney® District: Sorry, stroller rentals are not offered in Downtown Disney® District.

Also you have to return the stroller at the end of the day then rent a new one the next day.

You rent strollers inside the turnstiles, through the right hand tunnel and to your right. Yes, it's usually mobbed first thing in the morning, and you can waste time standing in line for this. However, you can pay for multiple days on your first day. Then on subsequent days, you bypass the rental line, and just walk up to the CMs handing out the strollers, and show them your multi-day receipt, and they'll hand you a stroller. Keep your stroller nametag (fits inside a clear plastic window on top of the stroller canopy for identification) that they made out for you on the first day and it will be even quicker.

You can take them on the Esplanade, and between both DL and CA. However, you can't take them out past the security checkpoints, so that means if you're walking back to your hotel or to DTD, you're going to have to carry the kiddos or have them walk.

If you leave the park during the afternoon for a break, then come back later, you can just show the receipt again for a new stroller. However, we just grabbed one from the tons of abandoned strollers right next to the security stations.

We liked the rental strollers, they were sturdy and roomy (our almost-6-year old was quite comfortable and it saved her legs!) and they steered very well.

Hope that helps!

Can you make it for an hour or so without a stroller? For instance.....try and hit some rides during MM and then go back for a stroller later on? You can catch the railroad from one of the other stops and take it back to the park entrance to get a stroller after the initial rush has died down.

Or if you can make it to Tomorrowland, you can rent one from Star Traders. I am not 100% positive that they still rent them there, but a couple of years ago they had some available to rent, and I imagine that there would not be too many people shopping first thing in the morning. Perhaps their line would be a shorter wait. When we rented one there we couldn't use our Disney Visa to get a free stroller rental......the freebies are only processed at the main rental place just inside the gates.

...also..can you take the stroller you rented at DL inside CA? Or just between the two.

They can go into both parks just not outside of the esplanade security tent area.
