Just make sure it meets the minimum. Oversized jogger strollers aren't allowed.
Hmmm What is oversized, and how do I find this out???

Like most people I was suprised at such a huge price increase of the Disney strollers. We just returned from Disney last Sunday and after 10 days I can say there is a remarkable difference in stroller usage. I think if Disney was trying to get parents with older children to stop using the strollers they accomplished it. But wouldn't be easier to just put a age restriction, so as not to hurt the parents traveling with small children? My kids are older, but I can't even begin to tell how invaulable the strollers were when my 3 were younger. Really the best thing parents can do is bring your own. Most times we brought ours anyway, it helped in the airport when we had a delay, or just waiting for our flight. We also liked having it to walk around the resort. But when we would get to the park we would rent one so we would not have to drag a stoller on and of a bus. If my kids were still stroller age, I would just bring one with me and save the $$ for more Disney pins. (lol) No matter what they are going to get your money some way. But it's Disney you either love it or you don't.
Yes. The price is "per day" so it doesn't matter what park you start at or if you switch to a different park later that day. I've done that in the past and there was no problem getting a stroller at MK or Epcot.
I'm sorry, but if the real reason for the price increase is really to reduce the amount of them in the parks, then they should have just taken away 1/2 the strollers available to rent instead of jacking up the price.
I read the Woo article, and I think it makes some good points, but I also think that perhaps there is a benefit to more folks using the smaller strollers. Those big Disney strollers are pretty ugly and they take up a lot of room.
They really do detract from the visual aspect of the park, particularly the Magic Kingdom. The space consumed by the strollers also diminishes the customer experience. Just one walk through the area between BTMRR and Splash on a busy day and you get the picture. Think about how much less conjested that area would be if there were no strollers in there. The same could be said for fantasyland by the Philarmagic. Has Woo considered that WDW shut down the Sword in the Stone ceremony - probably in part because the area was simply TOO CONJESTED! It wasn't always this way at WDW, but every year the problem seems to be getting worse!
If WDW could actually convince folks not just to use smaller strollers, but to FOLD THEM up when JR isn't in them, then WDW can accomodate many more strollers.
And what of the recent trend toward more scooters? As the baby boomers get older isn't there likely be be MORE, not less, scooters in the near future at WDW?
Where are they going to put all these strollers and scooters?
Why dont they just motorize the entire place..Like, moving sidewalks..

For anyone renting a stroller for more than one day I would buy the daily pass (31.00 double) and keep your name card for the future days. They have plenty of empty strollers at the train station for you to put your card in from the day before.
