One of the most common questions I receive from friends and family is: “What stroller do you recommend when traveling to Disney?”
Disney trips were a top-of-mind thing when we went stroller shopping 7+ years ago and honestly, I spent half of our first babymoon observing parents to see who hated their lives the least hopping on and off Disney transportation.
Your stroller is going to be your trusted companion throughout your vacation, just like it is for me. So, let's find the absolute BEST stroller that checks all the boxes for your magical Disney experience!
What makes the perfect Disney stroller?
Now, the perfect stroller for Disney World depends on a few factors like the number and age of your kids, as well as your budget. However, they all share these FIVE essential qualities:
- Comfortable for Napping: Look for a stroller that can recline flat or close-to-flat, ensuring your little one can have a cozy nap whenever they need it.
- Sun Protection: Opt for a stroller with a deep overhang or canopy that provides ample shade to shield your child from the bright Florida sun.
- Ample Storage: Make sure your chosen stroller has plenty of storage space in the boot/basket underneath to hold all your essentials and souvenirs.
- Easy Maneuverability: Disney World can get crowded, so a stroller that's easily maneuverable, even with one hand, will be a game-changer.
- Quick and Easy Folding: Choose a stroller that can be folded up swiftly and effortlessly, making it convenient for buses, cars, and other modes of transportation.
Pro Tip: We also make sure ours has ample storage. For us, it was important that we had plenty of storage space underneath to hold all your essentials and souvenirs.
How long should I take a stroller to Disney?
If you are considering it, do it. I know your kids walk by themselves at the grocery store or county fair or whatever. Still take the stroller. Each park at Disney World is huge. We will take our double stroller until Ollie is at least 7 or 8 years old. Then we will probably still be taking our single stroller. Their little bitty legs cannot handle all of the walking. You are probably not designed to walk that much while holding a 40 lb. toddler. Take the stroller.
Even if you do not even up using it a ton, the stroller is also helpful for midday park naps. Park days are long. Even if your toddler has been skipping his or her nap for years, they will probably want one on a park day. Having a stroller can be awesome to use. It will allow you and your spouse to leverage things like rider swaps on rides that the younger kids can’t ride.
What stroller does the Bahorich's take to Disney?
We have the City Mini GT stroller (a single and double version). It is the perfect companion for our family's magical adventure at Disney World. Combining style, maneuverability, and comfort, this stroller is designed to make your visit even more enjoyable. Its sleek and modern design will turn heads as you stroll through the enchanting theme parks.
Equipped with all-terrain wheels and front-wheel suspension, the City Mini GT effortlessly glides over various surfaces. This ensures a smooth ride, whether you're exploring Main Street or navigating crowded queues. The adjustable handlebar allows parents of different heights to comfortably maneuver the stroller. The quick-fold technology makes it a breeze to collapse and store during transportation. With its plush padded seat that reclines to a near-flat position, your child can rest and recharge while waiting for their favorite Disney characters.
The large canopy provides excellent sun protection, shielding your little one from the Florida sunshine, and the peek-a-boo windows let you keep an eye on them. Ample storage space, including a roomy under-seat basket and a backrest storage compartment, allows you to carry essentials like snacks, water bottles, and souvenirs.
Let's ensure that your stroller becomes your ultimate Disney companion, creating memories that will last a lifetime!
