Tell Me About Park Strollers

[LadyNia]

Already thinking about next year’s trip and we’d like to stay at Boulder Ridge. However, my understanding is that strollers need to be collapsed on boats. Having to collapse a stroller on both boats and buses is just not something we want to do. Would like to avoid that by renting a stroller in the park instead of Kingdom Strollers (which is what we usually do). Our son would be 5 and I think could handle the walk from the gate to transportation.
We are a rope drop family, how hard is it to get one of these strollers during rope drop time? Also, is there any storage or would stroller hooks be recommended.

The in-park rentals are hard plastic with no storage.

Don’t mind the plastic part. My son has never napped in a stroller while at Disney World so don’t really need it to be super comfortable. Looking at the picture, I think stroller hooks would be really helpful though.

We wanted them last year and there was a section on the back where we kept stuff

Last time we were there they had the older strollers, but still plastic. We loved not bringing our own, we rented doubles for our 4, 4, 6 year olds (they squeezed). Obviously they were old enough to walk and didn’t use strollers at home, but it was nice to push them from point A to point B. Elementary aged kids don’t need a soft comfy place to nap, just saving their legs a bit.

We used an in park stroller on our one day Epcot pre cruise. We decided that for one park day, the in park rental works, but anything longer than that, we'd want a real stroller.

We rented a stroller from the parks back in 2019 and liked that I didn’t have to take it back to the resort or deal with it on transportation. I also just paid for a multi day pass that first day so I could just walk into stroller rental at any park during our trip and grab a stroller without having to stop and do checkout again. We roped dropped that trip and the prepayment made it so easy with no time wasted. Not sure if that’s still available as this was in 2019.

The walk to the park isn't so much the issue, it's the walk leaving the park and waiting for the boats, monorail, whatever that would concern me.

Definitely something to consider.

We stayed at the BC so walked to Epcot and DHS and out 4, 4, and 6 year olds were fine.

Well, if the kids walked at the end of the day from DHS, you're right no need for a stroller. At the end of the day , I don't want to do that walk. I wish disney would put a couple of benches along that walk. Would have made it easier for me a few years ago. Of course now, we'd do the skyliner.

I was thinking more of walking from fireworks to front of Epcot to the buses (which I'm sure is a mile or ten) and then waiting for 30 mins to board.
