5 reasons why you NEED a stroller at Disney

Are you planning a trip to Disney and wondering whether you need to take your stroller with you? THE ANSWER IS YES! Yes, I am yelling because a stroller is one of the must pack items if your family is headed to Disney. You can find my other must pack items here, but keep reading because a stroller is 100% necessary.

“But I don’t use a stroller at home!”

You may be thinking, I will be fine I don’t use a stroller at home with my child(ren). I hear you, but I still would advocate strongly for having a stroller at Disney. You will be walking 20,000 plus steps at Disney in warm temperature. It can be a trek to and from where you parked and to shows or rides and you need to be in a certain area quickly, and we know how quickly kids walk (Especially when in a hurry!).

5 reasons why you need a stroller at Disney

  1. Your child may need a nap or to rest.

  2. You will be walking 20,000 steps a day minimum.

  3. You may need to get to various parts of a park quickly for a show or ride.

  4. You will want the extra storage.

  5. It helps navigating a busy and crowded park by keeping children with family members.

Parents of kids up to 10 report that their children ask to ride in a stroller at Disney. When in doubt and even if you think your child will not use it - take the stroller! There is no way we would have been able to navigate Disney or Orlando, Florida without our BoB Revolution Duallie stroller. Our 6 year old & 4 year old’s rode in the stroller as much as our 18 month old. We checked our stroller because we needed to use to get through the airport easily with 3 small kids and luggage. Jet Blue allows you to check your stroller and car for free which was a huge plus for us to take with us!
