Can your four-year-old walk 7 miles? That's the average distance a Walt Disney World visitor walks in a day.
You know that you need a stroller when visiting the Disney theme parks but, renting strollers at Walt Disney World can actually be one of the most confusing parts of your Orlando vacation.
Many people just assume that renting strollers at the Disney World theme parks or Downtown Disney will be the cheapest and most convenient option.
Think again! In fact, you have several options when renting strollers in Orlando that go way beyond Disney theme parks.
Many are more convenient and less expensive than picking up a stroller at the parks.
Let's take a look at the choices: Bring one from home -- this is clearly the most economical choice.
Most airlines don't charge to gate check strollers even in these days of runaway fees.
However, you do have the hassle of lugging your stroller everywhere plus the possibility of it becoming damaged on your trip.
Rent at the Disney theme parks or Downtown Disney -- the cost here is $15.
00 per day for a single stroller and $31.
00 per day for a double.
You can reduce that to $13.
00 and $27.
00 respectively if you buy a length of stay stroller ticket.
The real issue here is that the Disney parks can and do run out of strollers.
You can also only use the strollers in the theme parks and Downtown Disney.
If you are visiting the resorts and your tired toddler doesn't want to walk, you are out of luck.
Rent from a private company -- this is usually the most affordable and convenient choice.
Prices vary from company to company but, on average, you will pay about $11.
00 per day for a 7-day rental (the price goes down the longer you rent).
The real advantage here is that these companies will deliver the strollers right to your resort when you arrive and then pick them up when you leave.
You keep the stroller the entire time and can use it wherever you go.
The strollers are also modern, comfortable strollers rather than the hard plastic versions that Disney rents.
Two of my favorite companies are Walker Mobility and Orlando Strollers To Go.
Strollers can be true vacation-savers at the Disney theme parks as the immense amount of walking is usually too much for little legs.
You know you need a stroller.
Just make sure you are getting the best possible deal.
