Let's go over all the options for strollers at the Disney World Resort, plus some tips!


The first option is an obvious one, bring your own. The stroller must be 31 inches or less in width and 52 inches or less in length. Disney does not allow wagons. This means that yes, you can bring your UPPABaby Vista. I'll link 2 travel friendly - the summer mini and the gb pocket which folds into a backpack. But what if you want a stroller at the park but not on the plane or the rest of your trip? There are a couple of rental options..


  1. Renting one at the park - spoiler alert: not my favorite option. These are hard plastic so not comfy to nap in, and you will not be able to leave the park with them. So if your LO falls asleep after the fireworks, you'd risk waking them up to carry them out of the park. Price wise, the singles are $15 for a single day or $13/day for multi-day stays. (you present a receipt at the rental location, again strollers can't leave the parks) Doubles are $31 for a single day or $27/day for a multi-day stay.


  2. Rent through ScooterBug- Disney's featured provider. ScooterBug is the only rental company that is allowed to drop off at the hotel without the guest present. So you can arrange for delivery on arrival day, and your stroller will be there waiting for you, ready to stroll over to Disney Springs for the afternoon or check out one of the water parks (admission is FREE on check-in day for all resort guests in 2025, if you need help with your resort reservation click here) Singles (Britax pathway) start at $12/day (for a 4 day rental); doubles (City Mini Double) start at $23.50/day (for a 4 day rental) and you can add on accessories (cup holder, bag hook, rain cover, snack tray) for $10 each. The snack tray is a rental, the other three are for you to keep. A comfy stroller that gets delivered to your resort and cost less than the parks?! I'm sold. Be sure to fill out this form so I can take care of your reservation for ya.


  3. Rent through Kingdom Strollers - they will deliver to a Disney resort, you just have to be there to meet with the driver when they drop it off. They also do pickup and dropoffs at Orlando airport, so that's a nice option. You can also rent toddler bed rails through this company, and they'll drop those off at the luggage desk, you do not need to meet with the driver for that. $80 for 4 nights for a single (City Mini Single), and $100 for 4 nights for a double (City Mini Double); you'd get the stroller dropped of at 7 am before you head to the park, and then get it picked up the morning of checkout. The accessories they offer are drink holder/parent console (free), cooler bag (free), snack tray ($10), bag hook ($5), and rain cover (free). They also offer insurance for $15. Even with the free accessories, Scooter Bug is still cheaper but this is a great option if you'd like to pickup your stroller at the airport.


  4. Purchase one there - let's say you decide not to bring a stroller, and then change your mind and desperately want one when you're there and realize just how much walking you have to do...they do sell umbrella strollers at the parks. It's this one, and they're pretty affordable.


Now for the tips:

  1. Be prepared for all weather! Rain covers and a misting stroller fan are a must.

  2. Tie a ribbon or strip of fabric to your stroller so it's easily identifiable among the sea of strollers.
