FAQ

Do I really have to fold my stroller on every single Disney bus?
Yes. Disney requires every stroller, including its own rental strollers, to be completely folded with kids removed before boarding a bus. There's no size exemption. The real difference between strollers isn't whether you'll have to fold it, it's how fast and easy that fold is to do solo.

Can I take a double stroller on the Disney Skyliner without folding it?
It depends on the type. A side-by-side double (two seats next to each other) always has to fold to board the gondola. A front-to-back tandem double, or a single stroller, is allowed to roll straight on if it fits the doorway, but at busy times (rope drop, closing) cast members will often ask every stroller to fold regardless of type, so don't count on skipping it.

What's the maximum stroller size allowed at Disney World?
31 inches wide by 52 inches long, measured across the widest and longest points of the whole setup including any parent console or storage attachments. Stroller wagons (Keenz, WonderFold and similar) aren't allowed at all, regardless of size.

Should I rent a stroller or bring my own?
If you're renting, this tool favors models actually stocked by Kingdom Strollers or ScooterBug (Disney's own Featured Provider for stroller rentals), since those are easy to book instead of buy. If you're bringing your own, the tool ranks purely on weight, fold speed, recline and price. Either way, Disney's own single/double rental at the parks themselves runs $15 to $31 a day, so it's worth comparing before booking a third-party rental.
