With my older son, we had a better adult to child ratio, so he got carried a lot and the stroller toted stuff and got parked...

Next time we go, we will have nearly 3 year old twins and 2 adults. We are driving. Would you 1) Rent a single stroller from Disney? 2) Rent a double stroller from Disney? 3) Bring a double stroller? 4) Bring a single stroller? 5) Bring 2 single strollers?

ETA: Our older son will be 9 so he won't be needing a stroller. And we do plan on taking breaks, we are not all day, nap in the stroller type people
 
If I was driving I would definitely bring my own stroller to save money. I am a double stroller hater, too big and hard to move, but if you have twins I am assuming that is what you have..? If so, bring it (I would assume you are comfortable pushing it in crowds if you have one). If you happen to have two singles that is something to consider for easier maneuverability if you have enough adults to push them.
 
I would rent a double from an off site company. Also that way if you need to split up for any reason one adult can push the stroller with the twins. If you want to bring yours and your driving you could do that too.
 
I have a lot of experience with this. My just turned 4 year old twins have been 8 times. Without a doubt, I would either bring a double or rent a double. I absolutely would not rent a stroller from Disney themselves. They are expensive and hard plastic with no recline. I prefer the baby jogger citi mini's for use in the parks from the offsite rental companies. I like the full recipe and large stroller shades. Made for easy naps in the stroller. Also great fold for WDW transportation. If you have a good double that you like you could bring that as well. For me, the importamce of the double is it makes it easy for one parent to push and no problem for one adult and the 9 year old to ride a ride too big for the twins together.

We would bring a double. We take strollers for our kids at Disney up through 5 years of age. After that we may rent one for a day here or there but that's it. At home my kids rarely used strollers after the age of 2 really, but Disney is different.
 
When our kids were in strollers, we brought 2 reclining umbrella strollers. That way, if one fell asleep and the other one was awake, DH & I could split up and one of us could take awake child to do something while the other sat with asleep child.
