Walt Disney World

Should I bring a stroller from home? I know they have some at the park for rent, but do they lay down for a sleepy toddler? We will be there for 8 days, will it be expensive? Thanks!

Will you be staying on property and taking Disney transportation? I'm not sure if that matters a lot, but if you want the stroller for around the resort, I'd suggest bringing one from home. I have seen many people with them on the buses. It will save money and time...

single strollers cost $10/day, doubles $15. so it can add up. each park has a different stroller but they look like baby joggers, they do not recline and in some of the parks, the stroller is hard plastic. i'd bring your own.

The one advantage of using a disney stroller is, you are really just buying a ``stroller use license''. You can leave stroller at one end of the (train ride, sky ride, whatever), and pick up a new stroller at the other end.

I would suggest that having your stroller at the airport is a benefit, let alone at the parks. If you child doesn't want to ride at the airport, then at least you've got something to lug the carry-ons.

capxxx...you are renting a stroller for the day that is yours and yours alone for that day in the park. your name is on the stroller and most people leave items in the stroller--not valuables but hats, water, etc. i hope you aren't just walking off with any stroller sittin there when you get off a ride!

Well, maybe they changed the policy (it has been a while) -- before, you would get a large ticket (like a luggage tag) and it was fine to remove the tag and get another one if you went from one place to another. There were empty stollers available that the park attendant would distribute.

Don't jump on capxxx.

I'm not sure if current Disney policy is the same, but there was a time (when my kids were in a stroller) that WDW allowed you to "abandon" your rental stroller at one train station and then pick up another stroller at a different train station. At that time, the plastic strollers were new, and WDW didn't want them taking up space on the trains. I can tell capxxx is referring to the same time period because of his (her) reference to the sky ride, which was closed about 5 years ago.
