Disney Stroller Rental from Orlando Stroller Rentals

orlando stroller rental bannerAnyone who’s traveled with children will tell you that it’s no piece of cake. The sheer volume of stuff required for a successful trip is enough to intimidate even the most seasoned traveler. Unfortunately, when traveling – whether by car or plane – you often have limited space. With that in mind, Orlando Stroller Rentals offers an amazing service – completely convenient and affordable stroller rental for hitting the parks and attractions in Orlando.

About Orlando Stroller Rentals

Originally, from Connecticut, we would visit Disney during the summer months or school vacations since I was an elementary teacher. We would always bring our own stroller with us. We did not bring a stroller on our last trip from CT to Disney because our children were five and six. We did not even own a stroller anymore. We soon realized, after one day in the parks, that we wished we had a stroller with us. We rented one in the parks, which worked fine up until we had to return it before we exited Epcot. Our five year old daughter was very tired and my husband had to carry her back to the Beach Club Resort where we were staying. Our six year old son was not very happy walking back either. After renting a stroller for three more days, we knew there had to be a stroller alternative for parents like us…needing a stroller that could accommodate a high weight capacity, is easy to push, reclines, has a large sun canopy, is easy to fold, and is delivered to and picked up from Orlando area hotels.

Let’s face it, if any place requires a stroller it’s Walt Disney World. Even if your children are older and you don’t use a stroller on a daily basis, you will NEED one when you walk (and walk and walk) the parks.

Quality Strollers

Orlando Stroller Rentals loans only high quality strollers, including the Baby Jogger City Mini and Baby Jogger City Classic. If you need a double, they offer the City Mini Double, City Classic Double and a Sit and Stand stroller. There’s no denying these strollers are perfect for Disney – lightweight, high weight capacity and large sunshade. We used the Baby Jogger City Mini Double and it was great. I loved the oversized sunshade, the basket underneath and the fact that the kids could recline individually when our daughter was sleeping but our son was wide awake.

Walt Disney World does offer stroller rentals, but have you seen those things? Let’s compare side by side – which would you prefer to push and which do you think your kids would prefer to ride in?

Cost Effective

It might surprise you to find out that Orlando Stroller Rental can actually be LESS EXPENSIVE than Disney rental.

Extremely Convenient

stroller at doorOrlando Stroller Rentals deliver your stroller to your door – whether you are staying on site, in an Orlando area hotel or at a private rental home. We arrived at our rental home to find our double City Mini waiting (with rain cover) at our door. And, it was picked up the morning we left. It really couldn’t have been easier.

Unlike Disney stroller rentals that must be returned to the park at the end of the day, you take and use the Orlando Stroller Rental as your own. We took it with us everywhere – on the monorail, to the mall, to every Disney park we visited. Definitely check out the Frequently Asked Questions which has a lot of great information about this unique service.

To Rent or Not to Rent

To Rent… If you are traveling to Orlando, I highly recommend Orlando Stroller Rentals. The strollers are high quality, the service is excellent and the price is competitive and affordable. There is really no comparison to the Disney strollers – Orlando Stroller Rental is hand’s down the choice to make.

Or Not to Rent… If you have your own stroller and have room to bring it, you won’t need a rental. Our stroller was clean but was obviously used (it was missing a hardness pad). But, honestly, if you’re not traveling with one, Orlando Stroller Rental is a must have for Disney with kids.

Shop! Check out all the stroller options at OrlandoStrollersRentals.com. There are two single strollers, two double strollers, a Sit and Stand and even a Special Needs PushChair available for rent.

    We’re headed to Disney in a few months and I hadn’t really thought about what we’re going to do in terms of a stroller… thanks for this post! I’ll put Orlando Stroller Rental on my list of things to check out.

    Great comparison and review. I saw strollers EVERYWHERE while I was there. I think parents forget to think about the comfort of their kids. Would they want to ride in one of “those” strollers or in a comfy padded, well built one? Some of the standard rentals can be so hard..I know I wouldn’t want to ride in a hard stroller all day long… #justsayin’

    WE have rented a single Disney stroller, which was fine until one of the strollers smelled like PUKE and it passed onto my son! Ewwww!

    We have also rented the double at WDW and the price was just way too much.

    Nice to have an alternative.

      Puke! Ew!! Thankfully, the Orlando Stroller Rentals are cleaned after every rental. LOL

      I am really surprised by how much those Disney rentals cost.

    Now that IS the best bang for your buck!! I saw the stroller first hand and was impressed with the quality compared to the others. Now that I see the price, I am sold!

    I was considering renting the Double City Jogging Stroller, but how does this fit on the monarail and buses, it looks awfully big folded up. I was looking at purchasing a Maclaren double umbrella stroller?

      Hi Lori, The stroller fit fine on the monorail but would have to be folded for the buses. I think you’ll find that to be true no matter what stroller you use, though. If you think you’ll use the Maclaren double a lot in the future, it might make sense to buy it and take it with you. But if you only need something for this trip, I highly recommend Orlando Stroller Rental – and the City Mini.

      Good luck, and have a great trip!

    We just returned home from our 1st trip to Disney and we used OSR~IT WAS PERFECT!!! The stroller arrived 1st thing the next morning & we had NO problem folding it up & getting on the buses/monorail! :D My little girl LOVED her stroller, which isn’t common for her…she kept asking to “ride stroller” It couldn’t have been better!! Thank you OSR! We are planning on going back and then we will use u again!! :D Thank you! Michelle from Michigan
