Hi, Kelsey! We are so honored that you wrote to planDisney with your question. My father was a widow at a young age, so I know all too well the struggles of single parenting, as I saw them with my own eyes as a child; I would love to offer you some suggestions to make your trip successful and magical.
Walt Disney World Resort can sometimes literally feel like "a small world!" Some areas of the parks are tighter than others, and to ease congestion, Disney changed its regulations for which
strollers are allowed in the theme parks. For admittance, strollers must be a maximum width of 31" and a maximum length of 52", whether a double stroller or a single stroller. Stroller wagons, although amazing, are also prohibited, and unfortunately, this includes the WONDERFOLD Multi-Function Wagon. I know this is not the news you were hoping for, but let's talk about some alternatives.
As long as it fits the required dimensions, you might want to consider a tandem double stroller with a stand option for a third child. I see conflicting reviews about whether a "gliding board" is permitted, but this could be another idea. I suggest calling a
stroller rental company, as they would be the real experts on what is allowed. ScooterBug is a Disney Featured Provider, and you can reach them at scooterbug.com/orlando or by calling (800) 726-8284.
I realize that a stroller this size still wouldn't fit all your children so the kids would need to trade-off. I know this may be exhausting, so I suggest going back to your hotel after lunch and taking a nap- especially for you! If that's not an option, seek out the
Baby Care Centers, located in all four theme parks. Magic Kingdom Park's just got a makeover, and the result is outstanding! They are comfortable places to relax and cool off and are fully staffed by caring Cast Members.
What might be even easier is to have an extra pair of hands to push another stroller. Kid's Nite Out is a well-respected sitting service in the Orlando area; I've used them myself when I've done runDisney races. In addition to their sitting services, they have "Mother's Helpers" or Father's Helpers." This is perfect for parents who just need a little help from a friendly caregiver; keep in mind that they will need a theme park ticket purchased for their admittance. Give them a call at (800) 696-8105 or visit their website at kidsniteout.com.
The Disney Parks are where families can be families, and magical memories are made. I hope this helps, Kelsey! Please feel free to write us back anytime. See ya real soon!
