Where to buy umbrella strollers at Disney?

[salc]

We are going to Disney Sept 26th, staying at Pop, and will have a rental car. I was wondering where we can purchase strollers once we get to Disney and approximately how much they cost. I'm trying to decide whether to lug one down on the plane, along with a 1 & 5 y/o, or just get one when we get there. Any info/coments appreciated.
Thanks

It is well worth bringing your own stroller for a 1 yo...a nice comfy stroller that baby is familiar with is a godsend. It is also very helpful in the airport when traveling...you can gate check the stroller when you board your flight.

Since you will have a rental car, you can pick up a stroller for the 5 yo at Target or Walmart or the like, if baby and 5 yo aren't sharing. They do sell an umbrella type stroller on site, but I think you can find better off site, since you will have wheels -- the one onsite has a teeny-tiny sun canopy and is about $40. Also, be aware of weight maximums for strollers for 5 yo.

I would also recommend a hip hammock or baby carrier for waiting in lines where strollers aren't allowed for the 1 yo. Also, the carrier may help you w/having an extra set of hands when wrangling strollers and babies and WDW trams and other such adventures when traveling!

Happy planning and welcome to the DIS!!

We just were down there adn picked and Evenflo one up at the Walmart for 42 dollars. There were cheaper ones, but we bought one with a canopy and a net underneath. If you have a sit and stand, I would consider lugging it along. We wish we would have brought ours because my husband either had our 3 year old or 5 year old on his shoulders (oh well...)

Good Luck!
Enjoy your trip!

I know now that this probably isn't the cheapest option, but we didn't have a car last year and just bought the ones that they have by the stroller rentals. To buy a stroller there cost $49, to rent one was like $15/day. After a week of needing strollers, I could see that it was better to just buy one. The ones they have for purchase are black and red umbrella strollers.
