Umbrella Stroller users--a question

[DVCJEN]

Do you fold up your umbrella stroller and take it on the attractions with you? Or only fold it up on and off the bus, boat or monorail? I was looking at the McLaren Triumph that folds down quite well and has a shoulder carrying strap. Thanks.

We did not fold our strollers up for attractions. The only time we did was when we went on the train at MK. We did fold it up for the busses, but most times we rolled it right on the monorail. When the monorail was crowded, we did fold it.

As far as the buses go, about 99% of the time you have to fold it up. Once when we were there, we were the only 2 on the bus with DD and the bus driver said that we didn't have to worry about it, but that is a rare occassion.

The monorail, you can just wheel it on, unless like the other poster wrote about it being real crowded, but that's about it.

Have fun

We took our Maclaren Triumph last week. For magical express, the driver stowed it underneath for us.

The Triumph folds pretty fast. When we would see our bus at the stop, we would go in high gear trying to rush to make it. My husband would grab our son and the tote bag. Then I'd fold up the stroller real quick. Just one time, we were holding up the bus a bit while scurrying to get our son out of the stroller. I started to bring the stroller onboard & fold it up once we were on board. The driver barked at me to fold it up before I got on.

We left the stroller in the stroller parking areas outside each attraction and never had a problem. It was always there where we left it.

I was surprised that we couldn't take it in Imagination, Living Seas, or The Land at Epcot. Made for a lot of carrying. We used the puppy backpack leash some too.

I don't think you would be allowed to take it on any attractions except for the WDW railroad. And of course the busses, boats and monorails. I have never seen people carry an umbrella stroller onto an attraction.

If you mean the rides why would you want to? It would just take up room or get in the view of the guest behind you. They have stroller parking.

We don't typically take an umbrella stroller but, I can tell you that basically no one carries their strollers on rides. Every ride/show offers a stroller parking area.

They won't let you bring a stroller on the rides. There are stroller parking areas next to each attraction.
We have the stroller you mention and we roll it on with DS in it on the momorail and boat. For the WDW buses they make you fold it up. For ME you can leave it unfolded and the put it under the bus. we love the Mac Triumph and it does fold easily and compactly. Do be aware that it does tip if you have too much hanging on the handles! When we were there in May it was like the Triumph was the official WDW stroller!!LOL They were everywhere! I was glad that my particular one was a different color than the ones we kept seeing. So, if you want to find yours easier in the sea of strollers, put something on it, like a balloon, or hankerchief, etc...
