Stroller??

[gaffz70]

We just returned from WDW and we used 2 umbrella strollers, one for our 5yr old and one for our 8yr old. There were sometimes when we were not spending the whole day in the park that my 8 yr old walked...but for the most part he used the stroller. It was much easier for my dh and i to maneuver them in strollers...when one was walking they couldn't keep up and it was so crowded that could have easily gotten lost in the shuffle.

My son is the exact same age as your son and we are going in October. I will be bringing our double because my 18 month old will also be with us....but if it were only my 5 year old, yes I would bring an umbrella stroller...no renting here they are way too expensive. You can buy an umbrella stroller for the amount you will pay to rent...in fact you can probably buy 5 of them...lol.

If you're renting a car, you might consider stopping by wal-mart when you get there. You can pick up an umbrella stroller for under $20 and then leave it behind when you're done. That's what we're thinking of doing this next time.

I just found a really nice stroller on Ebay for a decent price. Make sure it has a cup holder, and try for some storage or like an under-carriage.

Plus, my mom always likes to push the stroller when we go on outings together because she says it acts like a walker!! Added benefit for Grandma too!

When we went in 2007 I brought a cheap umbrella stroller for my then 5yo DD based on the recommedations from here. I was soooooo glad I did. I didn't really think she'd use it much, but I was wrong. It was nice at the end of a long day, when she was tired & not-so-much feeling the Disney magic to have our own stroller.

For that matter, my 8yo twins occasionally complained that they didn't have a place to ride and would sit in it for a bit too!

Hi there. I'm not sure if you have already gone but I just purchased a new stroller for my son for our May 2010 trip thanks to this board!! On the budget board this is a thread for the Maclaren Volo for $55 that includes shipping and handling. It also comes with a rain cover. Considering the stroller itself is usually over $100 without the rain cover I thought this was a great deal. Plus, the stroller is suited for up to 55lbs. It doesn't recline and has some stains in the mesh (factory defect I assume) but my son usually stains things pretty quickly anyway. I would definitely bring a stroller though.
