We're taking our 7 year old and 3 1/2 year old to Orlando this month. I've done Disney before with them, but they were younger and we took our own sit 'n stand stroller. I was thinking of renting a stroller this time because now I only have a stroller with a weight limit of 55 pounds. So I need something for when they're both tired or the 7 year old is tired. Has anyone rented a stroller at the Magic Kingdom and have advice? Can I squeeze them both into a single if needed or should I go ahead and get a double?
I've never been to Sea World. I have the same question about renting strollers there. Plus I'm looking for any Sea World advice you have. We are giving ourselves 2 days there so we can enjoy all the exhibits and see all the shows without rushing around crazy.
Thank you!
You can probably look on their websites about stroller services... I just wanted to say HAVE FUN at Sea World, it's my favorite :)
I've never been to Sea World, but I would definitely rent the double stroller at Magic Kingdom. We did this when our girls were 6 and 4, and it was the best decision that kept us all happy and comfortable throughout the day. We stayed from opening until about 2-3 o'clock during spring break, and I don't think we would have lasted nearly that long or seen near as many attractions if we had to walk at their pace and with their stamina.
We used the double stroller at Disney last year. They are hard plastic, but they didn't seem to get hot in the sun and my youngest fell asleep at nap time without issue. There are a lot of the same looking strollers when you park them, so if there is something you can tie onto the stroller (i.e. a colorful bandanna or ribbon) it will make it a lot easier for you to find your particular stroller when you get off each ride.
I used the stroller at disney world last year. I went in July and it was helpful because my son got tired of walking. It make life easier and we were able to store snacks and drinks. Watching the parade was so much easier also. I didn't go to Sea World, I went to a water park and I rented a stroller there also. Staying at the park all day can be tiring for the youngsters and it give them time to nap for little while. I would recommend it.
I grew up in that area and I can tell you that you will want a double stroller. Also, you should be able to see all of Sea World in a day fairly easily. You may want to go on line and map out your day so that you are able to see all of the shows that you want. Have fun.
There is a company called magicstrollers.com and they drop the stroller off at your hotel and pick it back up. They rent the Baby Jogger City Mini double, a very nice stroller, with a total wieght limit of 100 lbs. It's $25 for the first day and $8 each additional. I like to have my stroller with me and not have to worry about getting one each day at the park entrance but Disney also rents double strollers for $31 per day. They are much larger and have a plastic bench seat with no recline. Some people seem to love them but they look so uncomfortable to me.
i have some of the same questions, although we are going with a 4 1/2 year old, next june. how much are the strollers? hope you don't mind me piggybacking! :)
We went to Sea World last year and had a wonderful time. The Christmas themes are wonderful this time of year. We also visited the park in two days. They have different day and evening shows so there is a lot to see and do. We really enjoyed the "feeding the dolphins" exhibit because you are close enough to touch the chins of these amazing creatures. Great shows, wonderful exhibits. Have fun!!
