Disney & strollers - would appreciate input from the pros!
- 3.5 year old who never goes in a stroller in normal day-to-day life
and
- 6 month old baby at time of trip
**We do not own a double stroller.**
Based on that,
<--------Should we...--------->
-only bring baby's stroller and rent a stroller ONLY in the event that 3.5 year old gets tired and wants one?
-bring baby's stroller AND our super lightweight and compact McClaren for our 3.5 year old?
-forgo bringing anything & just rent a double stroller daily?
or, lastly....
-buy a cheap double stroller just for the trip?
TIA!

Re: Disney & strollers - would appreciate input from the pros!
Weve been going to disney for the last 5 years my kids were a little older then yours but i can say 100% i would bring the baby stroller for the baby and the super lite weight mcclaren for your 3.5 year old. Dont rent, its a waste of money. and Dont get a double stoller. With the two separate strollers you can always separate at some points for ex: Incase you want to change the baby, your dh can take the older one to see a character or anything. Believe me the 3.5 will need a stroller.

yeah, now that you mention it... 
if we gate-check the strollers and then get off the plane and are using the Magical Express.....we won't have access to the strollers for a few hours, right?

If you gate check the stroller, you get it right back when you get off the plane. Then you walk with it down to the Magical Express.
We always rent a double from Orlando Stroller Rentals.

Our 3 yo used the Maclaren the entire trip, can't imagine not having had it. It's ALOT of walking. He doesn't typically use a stroller, but if we didn't have it, it would've cut our time at the parks since he passed out and napped a everyday in the stroller
