Disney Stroller/Crib rentals

[lilac05]

We're heading to Disney and Universal Studios with a 3.5 year old and a 1 year old.  I'm trying to figure out what to do for strollers.  We have a cheap umbrella that was good for a Disneyland trip before, but based on what I've seen, we should probably have a stroller for DS1, too.  We have a sit & stand here, but it's huge, heavy, and I don't want to lug it through the airport.  (Plus I'm already worried about getting luggage for 4 adults and 2 kids for a week into a minivan!)

Have you rented strollers or cribs (we're staying in a house, off property) through any local companies?

We rented a crib from A baby's best friend and we were happy with them. You definitely need a stroller for a 3 year old at disney. We took our own but I know they rent strollers too.

We rented a double city mini gt through Orlando stroller rentals. It was $80 or so for a week. They drop off/pick up even off site. Other companies that I've heard good things about are kingdom strollers and magic.

You definitely need a stroller for your older DS. We just got back and definitely needed it for our 4-year olds and 1-year old. We rented a double City Mini from Orlando Strollers and was very happy with everything.

As a side note, we originally thought we could use a kickboard for one of the kids to stand on instead of needing two strollers. I'm so glad we didn't go with that b/c younger kids definitely all need a place to sit, and pushing a stroller with a kickboard is not comfortable for very long.

Thanks for all the info!

I found out the house we're renting has a pack & play, high chair, and stroller. We've got another LO who will need a stroller, too, so unless the stroller at the house is a double, we'll still need to rent. I'll check out all of the companies you have recommended. So far, it looks like they're all about the same price, unless I can get a coupon somewhere.

Dumb question, we are staying on property. Can we get a crib from a Disney hotel? OKW if it matters.

When we stayed in a Disneyland hotel, there was a pack & play in all of the rooms.  You might want to call just to be sure, or reserve one if that's what you need to do.

We rented from Apple Strollers in the past. A city mini double was $7 a day at the time. One time the stroller was amazing, the second time it was a little worn, but I couldn't beat the price for it.

OKW is a DVC villa property, right?  If so you should already have one if your room.  You can call and have one added to your reservation or request one at check in.

We ended up needing bed rails.  We just went to the front desk to request them and they were delivered to our room while we were at the park.  Very easy.
