Equipment Rental Options Scooterbug - became the official equipment rental partner in 2019. This means Scooterbug can coordinate with resort cast members to deliver & collect your rental equipment without you having to be present. Important to note that this only applies to deliveries to Disney Resorts - they cannot deliver to the parks themselves. Pricing for a double stroller comes out to roughly $20/day for rentals of 4-days, and becomes slightly less expensive for lengthier rentals ($15/day for 6-days, $14/day for 7-days). With this rental fee you’re getting the stroller & the delivery/collection. Additional accessories are available for additional charges, i.e.: rain cover, snack tray, bag hooks, or drink holders. They have some strong and reputable brands such as Bob and City Mini, but it’s something to be aware of. BabyQuip - This was our equipment rental provider for our trip last October. We learned that, while the website mentions delivery to your resort, the only company authorized to do so is Scooterbug. Their pricing makes it very attractive to work with them, and they were very communicative throughout the whole process. This company utilizes local providers to organize rental equipment, so you have multiple options available to you as far as inventory goes (NOT JUST STROLLERS!). Their local providers do offer airport delivery/pickup (for an additional fee). Disney rentals: Pricing: certainly not going to be your cheapest option as the price break for longer rental periods is certainly not as good as the other two mentioned providers. Single strollers are $15/daily or $13/day for a multi-day rental; double strollers are $31/daily or $27/day for a multi-day rental. Quality: They don’t look overly comfortable or convenient. It’s not like they’re falling apart, but I wouldn’t expect your kids to love every second of sitting on hard plastic. Convenience: what you really pay for is the convenience factor - the stroller (if rented in advance) is awaiting your arrival at guest services. When you leave the park, you drop the stroller at guest services and that is that. Notable mention: Kingdom Strollers - very similar to BabyQuip if you want to compare inventory and pricing (they are definitely more limited in their inventory, but pricing is competitive) Grocery delivery: Highly recommend using Kroger as opposed to other supplies such as DoorDash/InstaCart/Amazon Prime/etc, as those tend to add a hefty delivery fee on top of your order Top needs: bottles of water, yogurt pouches/tubes, applesauce pouches, snack bars, individual bags of a favorite snack (like Goldfish) You are permitted to bring as much food/liquids into the theme parks as you would like! Of course security will need to check all bags, but they will not stop you from packing an entire lunch (if you so choose) Fun fact, WDW does not carry a common “essential”: Cheerios! Check the resort websites (or call/chat WDW resort cast members) to confirm whether or not some of your “must haves” such as a certain brand of diapers, or diaper ointment, or even OTC medications are available at a nearby Disney convenience store (or in the parks!) Why do you need to pack a park bag? Snacks for the kiddos & yourselves Refillable water bottles - honestly, there’s no reason to ever pay for bottled water in any of these parks The weather - be prepared for the weather with a poncho, extra socks, or even extra outfits Extra outfits for the youngest toddlers/babies who may have an accident in the park (and even yourself especially if you’re expecting to get wet!) Wipe storage, extra sunscreen, band-aids, and mole skin (think anything first aid that could be needed such as Advil, Tums, etc) – Baby Centers also an option for emergencies while in the parks “Activities” for the kids (i.e. coloring pads/set of crayons, doodle pads, finger puppets, whatever it takes to keep kids entertained while “waiting around be it for food or a parade/nighttime spectacular)
