Take a stroller?

Is your child over the age of 5 or 6? Have they stopped using the stroller all together at home? Are you convinced that you don't need to bring the stroller to Walt Disney World, because your child has out-grown it?

Even though you think your child is too old to need a stroller, you may want to re-think the number of hours and miles that you will be spending on your feet while visiting Walt Disney World. I wore a pedometer during one trip, and no lie, I averaged 6 miles a day...6 miles!! Now, I don't know about your child, but I know that my 5 yr old won't walk for 6 miles without needing (i.e. whining for) a place to sit, ride and rest.  

I'm 37 years old, and after a day of walking all over one of the Disney Parks, I wish even I could ride in a stroller!! I'm exhausted, and even more, I certainly don't want to carry a 45 pound sleeping child to the bus stop, or back to our room at the resort. So, I encourage you to take at least an easy folding umbrella stroller with you. Even if you park it for the entire morning in one spot, and only use it for a potential nap time, a nice seat for a parade or at the end of the night. It will come in handy...you'll see!
