To Joovy or Not to Joovy?

We are headed down in March and trying to decide which stroller to take. We have always taken the Joovy before, but this year my older dd is almost 6 (6 in May) and ways about 45 pounds. Dd3 only weighs about 30, so we'll still be under the weight limit on the Joovy, but it is getting harder and harder to push!

DH just wants to take the MacClaren for dd3, but I am worried that dd5 won't be able to keep up with all of the walking at the end of the day and the Joovy is a great way to corral them in the crowds.

We're staying at WL for most of the trip, but have a few nights at Pop and at AKL tacked on for the week-ends.

I would Joovy. I actually just bought a Joovy ultralight for my upcoming trip with DD5 (she'll be 6 in June), DS4 and DS 9 months. I know she won't be able to walk all day so I figure we'll just switch off DD5 & DS4 on the back and if they're both really tired I have an infant carrier for the baby. For me, nothing is worse than dealing with a tired kid in Disney. And trying to carry them gets old really fast. Last year when we went I brought two umbrella strollers & they were in them almost the whole time. And my DD never goes in a stroller at home. I think DW is just a whole different experience than anything we do at home. Even when we go to a zoo or theme park at home, we're not typically there for 8-10 hours. Another option would be to bring the Maclaren & rent if you need one for the older one but I always found it was great to be able to stroll them back to the room after a long day (and sometimes they'd be asleep by the time we got there).
