Disney Park Stroller Rentals: The Basics

Right inside the parks, Disney offers single and double stroller rentals. But here's the scoop:


  • Made of hard plastic (not the comfiest ride)

  • Can only be used INSIDE the park

  • Limited maneuverability

  • Functional, but not luxurious


Price Tip: They'll get the job done, but comfort? Not their strong suit!
