Hi Britt,
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your question about stroller rental. As a Mom of 4 kiddos, I understand the importance of having your stroller rental organized as part of your vacation planning strategy. I have found that even when my own children became older and would not usually use a stroller at home with our normal activities, they would quite often use one on vacation. And honestly, I found that it was easier for me too since I knew exactly where my kids were and didn't have to constantly scan for them or have them hold my hand as we explored the theme parks. I once joked that I was going to put my husband in a stroller if he didn't stop disappearing!
Now to help you with your stroller rental options! If you choose to
rent a stroller through Walt Disney World Resort, you will pay for your stroller after you are inside the theme park in the stroller rental location. If you choose to rent a stroller for your Length of Stay, then you only need to stop and pay the first time you pick up your stroller. Then on subsequent visits you just show them your receipt to receive another stroller. The beauty of purchasing Length of Stay stroller rental is that not only do you save money but you also save time since you only need to stop and pay the first time. Renting strollers inside the theme parks is an easy process and the upside is you don't need to lug the stroller back to your accommodations.
However - sometimes having a stroller outside of the theme parks is just as important as having one inside the theme parks. When my kids were quite young this was the case for me and we either brought our own stroller or rented one from a local company. Walt Disney World has partnered with ScooterBug for this exact purpose. In the previously linked page for stroller rentals you will find a link which will take you directly to ScooterBug rental. If you choose to rent a stroller from ScooterBug you will be able to prepay for your stroller and it will be waiting for you at your Disney Resort hotel. Since it is a Disney Featured provider, the Cast Members will work with ScooterBug to manage the delivery and return of your stoller to the company. Additionally you will be certain to have a stroller that falls within the
stroller dimension rules.
