So, if you’re traveling with a very young child, it’s likely a wise idea to get a stroller. And if you don’t want to buy one, then renting might be your best choice.

But, who provides the best stroller rentals at Disney World? Well, in this article, we are going to break down the most popular stroller renting options and give you everything you need to know to have a excellent experience for transporting your children around Disney.

What Is Preferred Vendor Status?

It’s important to know that all stroller rental companies are not necessarily equal. And that’s because The Walt Disney World Resort has provided Preferred Vendor Status to three stroller rental companies and four mobility scooter companies (some of these also rent strollers), so pay attention when renting.

Preferred Vendor Status means that those selected companies can drop off at the Disney Resorts without having to meet with the guest. So if you are running late or your plane is delayed, your unit will be waiting for you in the lobby when you arrive. For companies that do not have Preferred Vendor Status, you will have to set up a time to meet directly with their drivers so you can receive the unit, which can cause issues if you are running late.

Throughout this article, I’ll make sure to inform you which of the stroller rental companies are Preferred Disney Vendors, and which ones are not.

Okay, without further ado, let’s jump into the 8 places you can go to rent strollers for your upcoming Disney World trip. And let’s begin with probably the most obvious place, which is renting a Disney World stroller from Disney World itself.

Renting Strollers at Disney World

Stroller rental at Disney World is available at the entrance of any of the Walt Disney World theme parks. The single strollers accommodate children up to 50lbs and the double stroller accommodates up to 100lbs of weight.

What Strollers Are Available and What is the Cost?: Renting at the parks has two separate options. They have single strollers available for $15 a day, but you can also prepay for multiple days for $13 a day. Also, if you do rent a multiple day stay, make sure to keep your receipt in a safe place because you will have to present it at each theme park you enter in order to receive your unit. Double Strollers are $31 a day and $27 if you prepay for multiple days.

INSURANCE: You do not have to purchase insurance. It is not even an option.

PROS: If your stroller is lost or stolen within the parks and you need a replacement, do not worry! Make sure you save your receipt because you can retrieve a replacement from the stroller rentals. Also, you are not responsible for having to lug your stroller to and from your resort every day. Having it prepaid also alleviates the worry about having to wait in line to pay for a stroller daily. The double strollers can hold children up to 100 lbs which provides an option for older children who cannot withstand the miles of walking each day.

What to Expect: They are bench style plastic seats with a lap belt. There is no cushion so the comfort level is limited. The seat does not recline as well so it is difficult for little one to take a quick nap in the park. There are only single strollers available at Disney Springs and there is a $100 credit card deposit to retrieve one of the units. These units are not an option for newborns and babies.

Magic Strollers

Magic Strollers are one of the three preferred Disney vendors. These units are delivered directly to the front of the resort at Bell Services

INSURANCE: Insurance is not required BUT I highly recommend it. It covers theft and damage. It is a one time fee of $25. If you do not purchase the insurance you will be fully responsible for the unit if it is stolen and damaged.

PROS: All of their strollers are suitable for infants. Rain covers are free by request. Parent consoles are included. The units can be delivered to bell services without you present. All of the seats recline. The strollers are deep cleaned with Ecolab products, and the strollers are easy to fold while being inexpensive.

CONS: Insurance is not provided and if you do experience theft or damage without insurance it can be rather expensive. The pricing system can also be a tad confusing so I recommend going on the website and plugging in your dates personally so you know what you are getting.

The parent consoles are included and they have options for older children.

CONS: They are not a preferred vendor, so you need to set up a time to meet with their driver at the Disney Resort you are staying at. Once again, there is a $20 insurance which does protect the unit, otherwise you are liable.
