Just to recap our recommendations from Part One: http://www.betheirguest.blogspot.com/2013/01/strollin-strollin-strollin-part-one.html
1. Bring your own, don't rent
2. Avoid double strollers if at all possible
3. Go as lightweight as possible
4. Avoid the buses if you have kids in strollers
If you have kids in strollers, the management of them will be a large part of your day. Parking them, finding them again, getting from the room to the car/bus, pleading with your children to get into/out of them, etc. You'll want to do everything in your power to make it as easy on yourself as possible. We have Disney specific strollers at our house. They certainly get used for other things, but they were bought with Disney in mind (with all that money you saved by not renting, remember??). For infants or very small kids who will need to nap in the stroller, take a "real" stroller. The one with all the bells and whistles. Try and pick one from the onset that folds quickly and easily but take it regardless. We like the Britax B-Agile or the Peg Perego Pliko series. They fold quickly but have great back support and padding for little guys. Plus they recline flat and have big shades. After they are a bit older, 2+ usually, they aren't taking full on naps in the stroller. It's then time to invest in a good, lightweight "umbrella" type stroller. Don't make the mistake of getting the $30 ones that hang on the giant circular display at Babies R Us. You will be miserable and so will kiddo. They have no support/shade/recline and are usually too short to push easily. Go ahead and invest (buy second hand) in a sturdy brand. We like the McLaren Triumph series. You can put big kids in them for quick park crossing, but they are still comfortable enough for little guys as well. They work easily with the stroller links we mentioned in part one. They turn well and fold like a dream. **TIP: on the first day buy a giant Mickey balloon and tie it to your stroller so it's easy to spot. If it breaks or pops, they replace it for free anywhere they sell them**
