7. Ease of Use Disney World did a fine job in selecting the strollers they use for their rentals.  They are efficiently designed, have few moving parts to deal with, and aren’t overly large or complicated.  The large wheels allow for very smooth travel and the brake is easy to set and release.  It’s not unusual to hear parents wish ...

6. Less to Pack When you’re traveling with your family to Disney World, luggage space comes at a premium – whether you’re getting there by car or by airplane.  Even a small umbrella stroller takes up space, but many parents feel compelled to bring along much larger stroller models.  Even collapsed, some of these strollers take up huge amounts of ...

Bring Your Own Stroller 5. Price Disney World stroller rentals are not exactly cheap at $15 per day for a single and $31 per day for a double – particularly compared to bringing your own for free!  Even with a small discount for multiple day rentals, those costs can add up quickly.  For budget-minded travelers, bringing your own stroller potentially ...

4. Meet Your Specific Needs Disney offers one type of single stroller and one type of double stroller.  Bringing your own stroller ensures that you will have a stroller that meets your exact needs.  This includes comfort, as Disney strollers are molded plastic and have no padding.  If you have an infant that will need to lie down, Disney’s rentals ...

3. Resort & Off-Property Needs Disney rentals are fine for inside the theme parks and at Disney Springs, but what about at your resort hotel?  Or if you’re staying off property?  If your child needs to have a stroller outside of the parks, you’d better bring your own or you’ll be stuck carrying the kids whenever you’re outside the parks ...

2. Storage Space If Disney strollers have one serious limitation, it would be storage space.  While they do have a decent sized pocket and a cup holder or two on the back of the stroller, parents who are used to the large storage space underneath their own strollers will probably be frustrated by the limited space.  That means you’ll have ...

1. Ease of Locating Many Disney guests wisely put a balloon or ribbons on their rental stroller to distinguish it from the hundreds of identical strollers roaming the park.  And here’s a little tidbit you may not know: Disney Cast Members routinely move strollers around after they’ve been parked by guests to make room for others.  Where you parked your ...

Among the many considerations for parents with young children when considering a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort is whether or not to pack a stroller.  After all, the Disney parks have stroller rentals that would seem to solve that problem quite efficiently.  As the parent of five children – including three who at one time were all younger ...

Rent a Stroller 10. Convenience Disney World has stroller rentals available at all four of their theme parks and at Disney Springs.  The stroller rental counters are all located not far inside the turnstiles of each park, and between the West Side and Town Center areas of Disney Springs.  Once you’re inside the park, it’s easy to grab one, have ...

9. Shade Every Disney World stroller provides shade to the children riding in them.  I have seen far too many parents at Disney World who totally regretted bringing a simple umbrella stroller to the parks that did not have a built-in shade.  Florida is sunny and hot most days of the year, and even if children are being pushed around ...
