The stroller rentals

[MickeyNicki]

I know the parks have stroller rentals, are the single or doubles? Do they have the topper for shade? Cup holders or mesh bags in the back for storage?

Allearsnet has pictures of the strollers in their Stroller FAQ:

What are the strollers like?

At the Studios, the strollers are three-wheeled (jogging-type) with a soft, canvas sling-type seat. They do not recline. To turn the stroller you have to lift the front wheel off the ground, which took some getting used to. They have a net basket underneath for storage. The top can be rolled back and they are made out of a cloth material that seems to be waterproof (a spilled soda in the seat was wiped up easily with a paper towel).

Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom strollers are hard plastic with 4 wheels.

The parks have both single and double strollers, and if you rent for several days, you get a $2.00 per day discount. (They give you little cards to show, and they are good all day, even at more then one park. - It also saves on standing in line again.)

They were roomy, and my 5-year-old much preferred them to walking. They varied a little by park, but all had some sort of shade and mesh pockets to hold water bottles, etc. The MGM/Disney Studios ones were an older style, and didn't have quite as big a pocket, if I remember correctly, but were still OK.

Watch what you hang off the back of any them, though. If it's too heavy, they can tip when the child gets out.

The "write up" about the strollers at the Studio that was posted from allearsnet.com is out of date. When the Studio first opened, they had jogging strollers with one large front wheel, but they changed to jogging strollers with small swivel wheels in the front a long time ago. (The strollers are otherwise the same and the cloth material they are made of is nylon). The strollers were actually made specifically for WDW by BabyJogger and they have single and double jogging strollers. This picture from allearsnet is an up to date picture.
