You can bring your own tried and true model from home, but that means you’ll have to
keep up with it the entire time. You can rent a stroller inside Disney parks, which is super
convenient but also on the uncomfortable side. Or you can rent from a third party and have
a popular model stroller delivered to your resort for the duration of your stay. Each option
has its pros and cons. So, when weighing all your stroller options, be sure to consider the
following realities.
KIDS’ AGES
Infants and toddlers need a substantial, comfortable stroller in the parks. Because the
stroller holds all the baby gear and is used as a nap time haven, the non-reclining strollers
inside the parks really won’t work. However, young elementary age kids might just need an
occasional break from walking, so the sturdy, high-capacity, in-park rentals may be your
best bet for this age.
TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
If you’re driving to Orlando, your space restrictions consist only of the size of your vehicle
versus the size of your luggage. If you’ve got the trunk space, bringing a stroller might be in
your best interest if you feel you’ll need it often. If you’re flying, the whole airport process
will have to be taken into consideration, as well as any shuttles or taxis.
